UmeNow People's Network vs. Giant Tech and CISPA

Our entire platform is about kicking out spy tools and providing maximum privacy protection. April 30, 2012

"Really looking for a network where people can connect with no tracking or spying?" That's the question posed by the founder and CEO of UmeNow...Our entire platform is about kicking out spy tools and providing maximum privacy protection. Evelyn Castillo-Bach, the founder and CEO.

UmeNow launched in July 2011. It has banned all tracking, including tagging and face recognition technology. Ads, third party apps, and games are also banned because they are often used to extract private information without consent.

UmeNow site features include:

• multiple Walls for friends, families, colleagues and groups.
• private photo gallery.
• a Love-n-Likes section where members share with each other without friending.
• a blog section that permits posting anonymously, with a real name, or a pseudonym.
• option to share blogs with the whole world or friends only.
• ability to edit or delete anything posted, at anytime.
• simple and clear privacy settings.
• when something is delete, the company deletes it forever.
• zero tolerance for cyberbullying.
• zero tolerance for data mining and data brokers.
• zero tolerance for tracking, face recognition technology, and other spy tools.

"Giant tech companies have no real incentive to ban tracking and spying. Their business model is based on monetizing user information. We represent the next evolution, the People's Network, where the privacy interests of the individual is the only business model," stated Castillo-Bach, who is also an outspoken privacy advocate who frequently blogs within the In the News section of UmeNow.
