Trust

VENT does not exist to sell people's vulnerability.

People should be able to express difficult things without wondering whether that moment will become an ad profile, a public identity, or someone else's dataset.

01 / PRINCIPLES

The trust rules

01

Anonymous to others

VENT does not require a legal name, email, phone number, contacts, GPS, or ad identifier to use the app.

02

Aggregates before anecdotes

We can learn from patterns without turning individual posts into public proof.

03

Safety is part of privacy

Moderation, blocking, reporting, and abuse prevention are necessary because anonymous spaces need boundaries to stay human.

04

User control comes first

The long-term vision is permissioned context: personal meaning that stays controlled by the person who created it.

02 / LEARNING

What we may use to improve VENT

  • Product events like app opens, vents created, reactions, comments, and streaks.
  • Aggregate theme patterns that help us understand what people need from the space.
  • Moderation and safety signals that help reduce abuse, spam, and harmful behavior.
  • Pseudonymous diagnostics that help us fix bugs and crashes.
  • Optional product analytics that users can turn off in app settings.
  • High-level learning for research, product decisions, and investor diligence.
03 / BOUNDARY

What we will not publish as proof

  • Raw private user posts as a marketing wall.
  • Voice vents or transcripts as examples without clear permission.
  • Individual user journeys that could make someone identifiable.
  • Data sold to advertisers or data brokers.
  • Credit, employment, insurance, or similar scoring profiles.
  • Claims that make VENT sound like therapy or clinical care.
04 / RULE

The boundary

VENT can become a trusted context layer only if the first product earns trust. That means the company has to treat user expression as something to protect first, understand second, and only use with care.
