SecureRing — Verify Before You Trust AI can now clone a voice from seconds of audio. A caller can sound exactly like someone you love — but a familiar voice isn't proof of identity. SecureRing gives you another way to verify the people and situations you trust. Whether you're answering a call from a family member, checking a suspicious message, or dealing with someone you don't know, SecureRing helps you slow down, check the situation, and make a more informed decision before you act. HOW SECURERING WORKS • Build a trusted circle of family and close contacts. • Verified video calls use cryptographic signatures and on-device keys to help confirm that a call is coming from a trusted device in your circle. • A rotating safe word can appear directly on the call screen, giving you an additional signal that the person you're speaking with is using their trusted device. • Use Scam Check to review suspicious situations and get practical guidance before sending money, sharing information, or taking action. • Practice realistic scam-awareness scenarios, including high-pressure situations, so you can recognize common manipulation tactics before they catch you off guard. WHEN TO USE SECURERING SecureRing can help when: • A loved one calls asking for urgent money. • Someone claims to be a family member but something feels wrong. • You're contacted about a suspicious payment or request. • You're communicating with a landlord or property manager before sending a deposit. • A contractor or service provider is coming to your home. • You're dealing with an unfamiliar person in a situation where trust matters. • You want to practice recognizing scams before you're under pressure. FREE FOREVER Creating your trusted circle, Scam Check, scam-awareness training, scam alerts, and receiving verified calls from your circle are free. PREMIUM Premium unlocks placing verified video calls and access to the rotating safe word during verified calls. Only one person in your circle needs Premium to place verified calls. Everyone else can receive them without a subscription. Premium: • $4.99/month • $39.99/year — save 33% Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime through your App Store account settings after purchase. Canceling turns off auto-renew; you keep Premium access through the end of the current paid period. PRIVATE BY DESIGN SecureRing is designed to keep verification within your trusted circle. Keys are generated on your device. SecureRing does not collect your location, contacts, native call history, biometrics, or audio or video content. Your verification information and alerts aren't sold or shared for advertising. A SECONDARY LAYER OF TRUST SecureRing is designed to help you recognize scams and make better decisions when something doesn't feel right. Cryptographic verification confirms possession of a trusted device and key. It does not independently prove a person's identity, guarantee that a call is safe, or guarantee that fraud will be prevented. Always use your judgment. If you believe you're facing an actual emergency or fraud, contact the appropriate authorities or organization directly using a trusted method of contact.
