Your data is yours.
FWD was built as the opposite of surveillance-era social. Here, in plain language, is what we collect, why — and the lines we will never cross.
What we collect
The basics to run your account: your name, contact details, profile information, and the connections you choose to build. We collect the minimum we need to make introductions work — nothing speculative, nothing for resale.
How we use it
To connect you with people you trust, route Shouts to the audiences you choose, and keep the network safe. That’s it. We don’t build advertising profiles or feed your behavior to an engagement algorithm.
What we share
Only what you choose to share with your circles, and the essential service providers that help us operate (like secure hosting). We never sell or rent your information, and we require anyone we work with to honor these same standards.
Your controls
You can view, edit, export, or delete your data at any time from Settings. Delete your account and it’s gone — profile, connections, and content removed from active systems.
