Online privacy is complicated, and annoying. According to the lawyers of major social media websites you have no privacy. As soon as you sign up and post on their social networks you forfeit all right to privacy as it relates to the content you publish, or that which your friends publish about you.
But privacy matters.
Social media companies can claim that they care about your privacy by giving you massive granular control over which other users can see your profile, your content or who can contact you. But the deceit is that by providing a large array of privacy controls they also make it complex and too difficult to manage.
On Tuvens, privacy is simple and intuitive.
On top of the usual friendship relationships, members set their openness to the communities they are a part of on a scale of 1 – 5. Our algorithm then decides who can see your profile or contact you based upon whether they are in or out of your communities. You can be strictly private, or open, in general, or set your privacy differently for different communities. After all, that is how privacy works in real life. Communities are nothing more than a group of people who trust each other, and by being open to a community you are trusting the members.
And the best bit is this…
We will never collect more information about you than is required for the normal function of your account. Because we’re not advertising driven, we don’t need to be invasive.
