A secure contact book for the people you already know. The number on your screen can be faked, and an AI voice can sound like someone you know. With ID-Truster, you can check in seconds that a call or message really comes from the person you trust. YOU LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER Peace of mind is mutual. We rarely think we will be fooled ourselves, but we often worry about mom, grandpa, or a good friend. The best reassurance is the one you create together. Connect with family and friends so you share a common tool when something feels off. HOW IT WORKS - Connect once. You both choose "Add contact", and an encrypted connection is created between your phones. - A heads-up before the call. When a trusted contact calls you, you get a notification in the app just before your phone rings. So you know the call is genuine, no matter what the screen says. - Trust codes. Create a code in the app and paste it into any text message, email, or social media message. The receiver checks the code in the app and gets an answer in seconds. The code is locked to that receiver and expires by itself after 24 hours. ALONGSIDE, NOT INSTEAD OF ID-Truster does not replace your phone, email, or chat. It is an extra layer of reassurance that runs alongside what you already use. YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU The connection is encrypted with a key that only lives on your phones. We cannot see the names or phone numbers in your secure contact book, only the email address the account was created with. Everything is built to comply with GDPR. EASY FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY Most people are up and running in a few minutes. Each of you enters your name, email, and phone number, and you are ready to connect. The more of you who join, the better you look out for each other. ID-Truster is free for personal use and built in Denmark. Need help? Write to support@idtruster.com.
