Frequently Asked Questions

Protecting your social identity is important for several reasons. One of the main reasons is to maintain privacy and security. If your personal information, such as your name, address, and date of birth, were to fall into the wrong hands, it could be used for identity theft or other types of fraud. Additionally, if someone were to gain access to your social media accounts or email, they could potentially impersonate you, causing harm to your reputation or relationships.

Another reason to protect your social identity is to control how you are represented online. In today's digital age, the way you present yourself online can have a significant impact on your personal and professional life. If you don't take steps to manage your online presence, you may find that information or images that you would rather keep private are being shared with the public.

Additionally, with some organizations and companies, having a strong online identity can also help with job and college applications. They might look at your social media to evaluate your work ethics, responsibility, and personality. Having a careless or controversial image can be detrimental in those areas.

In summary, protecting your social identity is important for maintaining privacy and security, controlling how you are represented online, and preserving your reputation both personally and professionally. It's always a good idea to be aware of what you share online and to use the privacy settings and security features that are available to you.

MySocial.Info is what is known as a "bio-link" tool. Most social media networks allow you to add a website link to your bio. This is not very indicative of your entire online identity. Most people are active on multiple social media networks, blogging sites, content creation sites, and even personal sites. Having a single link to share your entire social identity makes it easier to grow your audience and share your content across platforms.

Additionally, MySocial.Info has built each profile page with search engine optimization (SEO) in mind. Not only do we submit your profile link to popular search engines (like Google and Bing), we build your profile with page speed, rich text snippets, schema data, and accessibility in mind.

Simply create an account, add the information that you want to share with others, such as your social media sites, and create your custom profile link.

Once you have your custom profile link, you can copy that link and place it where you share your content. You will never need to change that link again, even as you add new social media or communication channels, your users will always be able to find your content by viewing your MySocial.Info profile page.

We use a combination of several techniques to keep your data safe.

• We require the use of 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) to log into your account.
• We test and validate every line of code and use a secure database to encrypt data like your passphrase. The method we use can't be decrypted, even if someone were able to gain access to our secure database.
• We use the most well known and trusted third party services like Stripe and AWS to help manage our servers, subscription, and credit card tokens.
• We will never sell your personal identifiable information (PII) to a third party.
• We use Google Analytics to gather anonymous, aggregate data to monitor trends.

It is extremely easy to use a dating app to catfish vulnerable people. However, having an active presence on multiple social media platforms is much more difficult. Being able to look up someone you matched with on a dating app and seeing that they have social media accounts that are active and weren't created last week is a fairly good indicator that the person is real and not someone with ill intent.

In 2018, according to the FBI, over 18,000 people were victims of catfishing or romance fraud. Many experts believe that the actual numbers are much higher but people don't report it from embarrassment. Source: https://www.ic3.gov/Media/Y2019/PSA190805/

You can create an account for free. You can continue using MySocial.Info to protect and promote your online identity for less than a cup of coffee a month. We charge a small fee to cover expenses related to keeping your data encrypted and secure.

We require a credit card in order to make your profile public, which reduces the risk of fake profile creations. In addition, we have a monitoring system in place that looks specifically for abnormal behavior and profiles. While we will let anyone set up a free profile, that profile isn't publicly available unless it also has a subscription plan.

We aren't a social network. You can't post pretty pictures of your dog (unless you create a profile for your dog, we won't judge!), and you can’t postulate about the current happenings in the world. You can link to all of the places where you do post your dog's photos and where you share your views about current affairs though.

We know seeing these stats can be shocking, but yes, they’re real. There is a serious lack of security online. Anyone can be impersonated, catfished, or swindled. MySocial.Info is the new platform built specifically to stop this malicious behavior and keep your data safe.
