Families comes together with Idka

Families gather around the kitchen table or on the couch. They talk, laugh and share stories and memories. What if you have your family far away, but still want to share those special moments and unique snapshots or just chat about everyday life. Idka is a safe platform, where you and your family can be both private and social – all at the same time.

You want to share photos and videos with granny, chat with your cousins and let your children talk with friends and relatives online. But what you don’t want is to give away private information to companies that will sell it for lots of money to third parties. Idka provides a safe, social platform where you can do everything you normally would do in your social channels and more, but stay private. Only you decided what to share and who you share it with. Idka does not have any implied or hidden sharing, nor is any information used to build profiles or sold to third parties. You stay in full control. There are no complicated or hidden ‘privacy settings’ you need to know or manipulate – Idka is private all the time.

So if you post something on your profile, you have to actively choose to share it and who to share it with: an entire group, a few or just one person. It does not matter if it is a post, a chat or files and pictures. And what you upload to the storage, is never scanned bur remains private.

Imagine a big family, with siblings and relatives that perhaps lives far away, abroad or all way across the country. It can be hard to stay in touch. These days we are used to sharing everything with every­one, and many of us let our children create accounts on different platforms to stay in touch with friends and rela­tives. Almost every other social media platforms forces you agree to terms and conditions that means that your infor­mation may be used and shared by the service, otherwise you do not get access. Most of us doesn’t even read or understand those terms, we just agree to everything without considering the consequences. If we don’t read them, we can’t expect our children to do it either.

How about letting your kids be social, but keep their information and everything they want to share private? Conversations, files, family photos and school projects belong to you and you alone. Nothing in Idka will leak or be put in the hands of the global corporations or compiled in “big data”. It’s your information and if you decide to delete it, it’s gone – forever! With Idka you will continue to be social, but always stay private. You don’t need to worry about your kids. And the best part is that Idka is so easy to use – granny will get the hang of it in a minute.

Available on web and mobile (iOS & Android).

“My children love to video-chat and share pictures with grandma. I can let them be alone on Idka, because I know that the things they share stay between them and granny, and no one else. Also when they use Idka with friends I know they are safe – in Idka information is not spread inadvertently.”
