At IDZ, your privacy isn’t just a promise—it’s the foundation of our service.

We’ve taken unprecedented steps to ensure your data remains yours and yours alone. Here’s how we do it:

1. Zero Data Collection

2. Optional Aliases for Connection

• Email and Phone Aliases: You may choose to add an email or phone number alias to help friends find you.
• Lookup Only: Once verified, an alias is stored in such a way as to be unrecoverable, but can still be used for others to find your account, if they have access to your phone number or email address.
