how glynx works

Glynx works automatically with your contact information from PC applications, social networking sites and phone systems.

Glynx automatically, confidentially and securely finds your contacts who also run Glynx - no more hassles of inviting people to join a service you use.

When you decide to share selected, personal contact information with others in your Glynx network, Glynx automatically sends any updates to them. There's no need for you to send update emails. Nor do you have to rely on third parties who may not pass on your selected contact details - or who may attach advertisements or other unnecessary and annoying information.

You choose what contact information you wish to share with others (from nothing to anything and everything) and you can share different information with different groups of contacts. So you are in total control of who sees what, and when.

All information sent by your Glynx software is encrypted before transmission and/or publication. In particular, Glynx software encrypts your identity and makes only this encrypted Identity information publicly visible. Neither Glynx, nor anyone else can reverse engineer your true identity from this encrypted identity. We call this arrangement of public, encrypted identities the "Glynx Blackpages" and it is used by others who already know your true Identity to locate you in the Glynx network.

You can also choose not to encrypt other information and make it public but this will be visible to everyone, like a Whitepages directory.

We have no access to your private information or relationships and cannot keep records of the information that you share with others. We do, however collect aggregate usage statistics, not statistics about particular relationship activity

You can ask Glynx to verify and certify (or allow others to verify and certify) your contact information before publishing, so you can be confident that people you find through Glynx are who they say they are.
