Trust and privacy

Know what stays private and what you control.

Ntros uses relationships to make service discovery more useful without turning your personal profile or contacts into something other people can browse.

Your personal profile isn't public

People can't browse or search for you like they would on a social network.

Your contact details stay private

A conversation can begin in Ntros without sharing your phone number or email.

Checking contacts is your choice

Ntros still works without it. Contacts only help reveal a useful connection.

When a connection appears

The relationship is explained clearly.

YOU

You

Looking for an electrician

MR

Maria

Someone you know

AM

Alex

Works at Oakline Electric

Maria can introduce you to Alex

You can ask for an introduction or contact Oakline directly. Maria decides whether she wants to help.

The connection explains who knows whom. It doesn't automatically endorse the business or make it a better fit for the work.

Clear answers

What happens in the situations people ask about most.

These boundaries apply whether or not you choose to check your contacts.

Do businesses see my phone number?

What happens

Messages can begin in Ntros. Your phone number and email stay private until you choose to share them.

What that means for you

You can start a conversation without handing out personal contact details.

Can anyone browse my profile?

What happens

No. Personal profiles aren't available through public search or browsing.

What that means for you

Your relationships can help with service discovery without creating a public social profile.

Do I have to check my contacts?

What happens

No. Contact checking is optional, and search still works without it.

What that means for you

Checking contacts only adds a familiar connection when one is relevant.

Can someone make me introduce them?

What happens

No. If someone asks for an introduction, you decide whether you want to help.

What that means for you

You decide whether to make an introduction.

Can a connection make a weaker business appear first?

What happens

A familiar person can help explain a result, but the business still needs to fit the work.

What that means for you

A strong business doesn't need a familiar connection to be a good option.

How do personal and business roles stay separate?

What happens

People use a personal account, then reply on behalf of a business when they are acting in a business role.

What that means for you

Homeowners can tell when they are talking to the business and who may be behind the conversation.
