Getting Started

What is 3mpwrApp?

3mpwrApp is a comprehensive platform built for injured workers and persons with disabilities in Canada. We provide tools for advocacy, community connection, wellness tracking, legal workflow automation, and system navigation - all designed with accessibility and privacy as top priorities.

Who is 3mpwrApp for?

Weโ€™re built BY the disability community, FOR the disability community.


Common Concerns & Trust Questions

โ“ How is 3mpwrApp different from other disability apps?
**Key Differences:** | 3mpwrApp | Other Apps | |----------|------------| | ๐Ÿ†“ **100% free forever** | Often have paid tiers, subscriptions | | ๐Ÿ”’ **You own your data** (BYOC options) | They own your data | | ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ **Canadian-focused** (all provinces) | Often US-focused | | โ™ฟ **Built BY disabled people** | Often built by corporations | | ๐Ÿ”“ **Open about limitations** | Often overpromise capabilities | | ๐Ÿ’š **Community-funded mission** | Profit-driven | | ๐Ÿ›๏ธ **Advocacy-focused** | Health tracking only | **Bottom line:** We're not trying to make money off the disability communityโ€”we're trying to empower it.
๐Ÿ’ฐ If it's free, how do you make money? What's the catch?
**Great question!** Here's our honest answer: **How We're Funded (Currently):** - ๐Ÿ’ฐ Personal funds from founder - ๐Ÿค Community donations (optional, not required) - ๐ŸŽฏ Grants for disability advocacy (applied for, not guaranteed) **Future Funding (Being Explored):** - ๐Ÿข Institutional partnerships (unions, advocacy orgs) - they pay, members use free - ๐Ÿ’ผ Optional professional tools (lawyers, case workers) - NOT required for users - ๐ŸŽ“ Training/workshops for organizations - again, users always free **What We'll NEVER Do:** - โŒ Charge users a subscription - โŒ Sell your data to third parties - โŒ Show you ads - โŒ Require payment for core features - โŒ Create "premium" tiers **The Catch?** There isn't one. We're a grassroots community project, not a Silicon Valley startup looking for an exit strategy. We survive on donations and founder's personal investment because we believe in this mission. **[Read our funding transparency statement โ†’](/about#funding-transparency)**
๐Ÿ”’ How can I trust you with my sensitive data?
**We understand this concern completely. Here's how we've addressed it:** **1. You Don't Have to Trust Us** - Use **Strict BYOC Mode** - your data never touches our servers - Your data stays on YOUR device and YOUR cloud provider - We literally can't access it even if we wanted to **2. Technical Safeguards** - Military-grade encryption (AES-256) - Open-source security audit (coming Q1 2026) - Third-party penetration testing - Regular security audits **3. Legal Commitments** - Detailed privacy policy with no loopholes - GDPR and Canadian privacy law compliance - Data deletion on request (within 30 days) - No data sales - ever (written into Terms of Service) **4. Community Accountability** - Built with input from disability advocates - Transparent about what we collect and why - Regular community updates - Open to audits from disability rights organizations **[Read our detailed security documentation โ†’](/privacy#security-measures)**
๐Ÿ’พ What if 3mpwrApp shuts down? Will I lose my data?
**No, your data is safe!** **If you use Default Mode:** - Export all your data anytime (Settings โ†’ Export Data) - Download JSON, PDF, or CSV formats - Data remains on your device until you delete it **If you use BYOC Modes (Hybrid or Strict):** - Your data lives in YOUR cloud storage (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.) - You have complete copies independent of 3mpwrApp - Even if we shut down tomorrow, you keep everything **Our Shutdown Promise:** - โœ… 90-day advance notice before any shutdown - โœ… Tools to export all community posts/resources - โœ… Open-source the app code so community can continue - โœ… Provide migration guide to alternatives **Bottom Line:** You're not locked in. Your data is portable. You can leave anytime with everything you created.
๐Ÿ•ต๏ธ What about privacy? Can employers/insurance companies see my data?
**Absolutely NOT - unless YOU choose to share it.** **Default Privacy Protections:** - ๐Ÿ”’ All data encrypted on your device - ๐Ÿ”’ Only you have the decryption keys - ๐Ÿ”’ We cannot access your Evidence Locker, wellness logs, or personal notes - ๐Ÿ”’ No backdoors for law enforcement, employers, or insurance companies **Community Privacy:** - Use anonymous usernames (no real names required) - Control what you share publicly vs. privately - Delete your posts anytime - Opt out of public community entirely (still use tools) **Legal Requests:** - We fight subpoenas for user data - We comply only when legally required (with notice to you) - We collect minimal data, so there's little to hand over - BYOC modes mean we literally don't have your data to share **[Read our Privacy Policy โ†’](/privacy)** **[Read our Data Warrant Transparency Report โ†’](/transparency-report)** (coming Q1 2026)
๐Ÿ“ฑ What if I can't afford a smartphone or data plan?
**We hear you. Digital divide is a real accessibility barrier.** **Current Solutions:** - ๐Ÿ“ฑ App works 100% offline (no data needed after download) - ๐Ÿ’ป Web version coming Phase 3 (use library computers) - ๐Ÿ“„ Printable resources available (download PDFs) **Future Solutions (Advocating For):** - ๐Ÿ“ž Partnership with free phone programs (SafeLink, Assurance Wireless) - ๐Ÿ“ก Lobbying for disability tech subsidies - ๐Ÿข Institutional access (union halls, community centers provide devices) **Right Now:** - Check if you qualify for [Connecting Families](https://ised-isde.canada.ca/site/connecting-families/en) (Canada) - $20/month internet - Ask local library about device lending programs - Contact your provincial disability program about tech assistance **We're working on this. Digital access IS a disability justice issue.**
๐Ÿ” How do I know this isn't a scam or data harvesting scheme?
**Healthy skepticism is smart! Here's how to verify we're legitimate:** **Transparency Markers:** - โœ… Detailed [Terms of Service](/terms) and [Privacy Policy](/privacy) (no vague corporate speak) - โœ… Real person contact: [empowrapp08162025@gmail.com](mailto:empowrapp08162025@gmail.com) - โœ… Active social media with real community engagement - โœ… Open about limitations and what we DON'T do - โœ… Beta testing with real community members - โœ… Source code available for security audit (upon request during beta) **Red Flags We DON'T Have:** - โŒ No "too good to be true" promises - โŒ No pressure to upgrade or pay - โŒ No vague privacy policies - โŒ No requests for banking info or SIN numbers - โŒ No multi-level marketing or "refer 5 friends" schemes **You Can Verify:** - Google our app name + "reviews" or "scam" - Check our social media for real user interactions - Join beta and test with dummy data first - Ask questions in our public community forums **If something feels off, trust your gut.** We want informed, empowered users - not victims.

If something feels off, trust your gut. We want informed, empowered users - not victims.

Can you see my data?

In Default Mode: Only if you enable cloud backup (and even then, itโ€™s encrypted)

BYOC Modes Explained

What does BYOC mean?

BYOC = Bring Your Own Cloud

It means you can connect your own cloud storage provider (Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud, Nextcloud, etc.) and have ALL your data stored there instead of on our servers.

Whatโ€™s the difference between the three privacy modes?

Feature Default Mode Hybrid BYOC โญ Strict BYOC
Login Easy (email, Google, Apple) Easy (email, Google, Apple) Custom only
Your data location Device + optional Firebase Device + YOUR cloud Device + YOUR cloud
What we can see Only what you backup Only your login, never content Nothing at all
Setup difficulty ๐ŸŸข Easy ๐ŸŸก Medium ๐Ÿ”ด Advanced
Best for Most users Privacy + convenience Maximum privacy

Which mode should I choose?

Default Mode - Start here if youโ€™re new and want the easiest experience

Hybrid BYOC Mode โญ RECOMMENDED - Best balance of easy login + full data privacy

Strict BYOC Mode - For maximum privacy advocates, healthcare settings, or legal work requiring complete air-gap

You can switch modes anytime in Settings โ†’ Privacy & Security.

What cloud providers are supported?

ANY cloud storage that supports standard protocols:

Do I need technical skills for BYOC modes?

Hybrid Mode: No - if you can sign into Google Drive or Dropbox, you can use Hybrid Mode

Strict Mode: Some technical knowledge helpful (knowing what WebDAV is, how to connect to cloud storage)
