Trust is the product. IdeaConnect is where people share early ideas and decide who to work with and back — so protecting your data, your account, and your conversations is foundational to everything we build.
01 Data protection
- Encryption in transit: all traffic between your device and our servers is protected with TLS.
- Encryption at rest: data stored on our servers is encrypted.
- Least privilege: access to user data is limited to authorized personnel who need it, and is logged.
- Data minimization: we collect only what we need (see the Privacy Policy).
02 Account security
- Secure sign-in with hashed, salted passwords and optional Google / Apple sign-in.
- Private accounts and granular post visibility (Public, Connections, Draft).
- Session controls and sign-out, plus alerts for suspicious activity.
- We recommend a strong, unique password and enabling any available two-factor options.
03 Infrastructure
- Hosted with reputable cloud providers that maintain recognized certifications (e.g. ISO 27001, SOC 2) — confirm your providers before listing.
- Network firewalls, monitoring, and automated alerting on anomalies.
- Regular backups and a tested recovery plan.
- Routine dependency updates and security patching.
04 Community safety
Security isn't only technical. We give you tools to control your experience and keep the community trustworthy:
- Report ideas, posts, comments, or people for spam, harassment, inappropriate content, or misinformation.
- Block and mute to control who can contact or find you.
- Interest and messaging flow through mutual signals to reduce unwanted solicitation.
- A moderation process reviews reports, with action against violating accounts.
05 Incident response
We monitor for security events and maintain a response process to contain, investigate, and remediate incidents. If a breach affects your personal data, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as required by applicable law.
06 Report a vulnerability
Found a security issue? We appreciate responsible disclosure. Email security@ideaconnect.social with details and steps to reproduce. Please give us reasonable time to fix it before public disclosure, and don't access or modify other users' data. We won't pursue legal action against good-faith research that follows these guidelines.
07 Staying safe on IdeaConnect
- Be thoughtful about what you share publicly — disclose sensitive idea details only with people you trust.
- Do your own due diligence before any investment or collaboration; we don't verify user claims.
- Never share passwords or financial credentials in chat. We'll never ask for your password.
- Report anything that feels off — it helps protect the whole community.
