Mochi College
Last updated 20 August 2026
The short version. There is no account and no sign-in. Every college in the app is already inside the app, so searching, filtering and saving happen entirely on your phone — with the network off, if you like. Nobody sees which schools you look at. We do collect anonymous usage figures, of the how-many-people-opened-the-app kind, and this page says exactly what those are.
Mochi College is made by PTK Studio. This policy covers the Mochi College iOS app and this page. If anything here is unclear, write to hello@ptk-studio.com and we'll answer plainly.
Nothing. There is no sign-up, no profile, and no field asking who you are. The app never asks for your name, your email, your school, your test scores or your grades. You can use every part of it without identifying yourself, because there is no way to.
Inside the app. The figures on every school — costs, admissions, size, location, programs — ship with the download and are read from your phone, not fetched from us. There is no lookup server, so a search is not a request to anyone: it never leaves the device, and no one, ourselves included, can see what you searched for or which colleges you opened.
The underlying figures come from the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard, a public dataset. Refreshed data arrives the same way anything else does — in an app update.
These live in the app's own storage. We have no copy of them and cannot read them. Saved colleges can be removed one at a time by swiping, or all at once from Settings → Data. Deleting the app deletes the lot.
Anonymous usage measurement, through two services, and nothing that identifies you:
Both are used for one purpose: knowing which parts of the app get used, so the next version improves the parts that matter. Neither receives your saved colleges, your notes, or your searches.
Google and Statsig receive the usage measurement described above, under their own terms. Apple knows you downloaded the app, as it does for every app, and passes us crash reports and download counts that name nobody.
One more is worth naming because it is yours, not ours: tapping a college's website hands the address to your browser and leaves the app. What that college's site does then is covered by its own policy, not this one.
The app is built for people choosing where to apply, many of whom are in high school. It collects no personal information from anyone, of any age, and is not directed at children under 13.
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it, and the page is updated before the version of the app that made the change is released — not after.
