Why No Tracking Is Important To You

The giant social networks have morphed into data collection companies. They track everything you do online. Then, they sell or trade what they know about you -- like a commodity, no different from soy beans or silver.

Next, data brokers create shadow profiles about you using all the information they have easily harvested about you from public sites. No matter what privacy settings you choose, if you are using a site that has ads, you are being tracked. Banks, credit card companies, insurance companies, recruiters, employers, litigation lawyers, governments, and even universities can access and purchase these shadow profiles. People risk embarrassment, job loss, career failure, higher interest and insurance rates, even political reprisals from the lack of real privacy on public sites.

Our entire platform is built to protect you. We have banned advertisers and all tracking so they cannot get to your information. Our service protects you from privacy intruders. UmeNow is a private network for people who value secure communication.

1. We have banned third party apps and games because they are back doors that extract information without your permission.
2. We use powerful encryption protection to keep your communication as private as you intended.
3. We have banned tagging and face recognition technology too. We think it has no place in a private network.
4. We designed our privacy settings to be clear and easy to use. Our default privacy settings are always set to give you maximum privacy protection.
