Privacy by design
COMPASS holds aggregate statistics only. No individual traveller record, passport number or booking identity is stored or displayed, and any cell representing fewer than ten visitors is suppressed.
Data sovereignty
All data is processed and retained in-country under Government of The Bahamas control. Third-party partner feeds are ingested as aggregates under data-sharing agreements and never re-exported.
Auditability
Role changes, target changes, decisions and exports are recorded with the user, the timestamp and the exact data slice, producing a reviewable trail for the Ministry.
Session export audit
- No exports recorded in this session.
Demonstration notice: figures shown across COMPASS are realistic modelled values for platform demonstration and are not official statistics of The Bahamas.
