Frequently Asked Questions

TNID (Trusted Network ID) is a verified digital identity platform that allows you to prove who you are online without sharing unnecessary personal information. Here's how it works:

• One-time Verification: Complete a secure KYC (Know Your Customer) verification process once
• Portable Identity: Use your verified identity across multiple platforms and services
• Privacy-First: Share only what's needed - prove you're over 18 without sharing your birthday, or prove residency without sharing your full address
• Control Your Data: You decide who can access your information and for how long

Think of TNID as a digital passport that works everywhere on the internet, but with built-in privacy protection.

Verified digital identity solves several critical problems in today's online world:

• Stop Spam & Fraud: Only verified people can contact you, eliminating bots, scammers, and unwanted messages
• Reduce Repetitive Verification: Stop uploading your ID to every new platform - verify once, use everywhere
• Build Trust: When you interact online, others know you're a real, verified person
• Protect Your Privacy: Prove attributes about yourself (age, location, identity) without revealing everything
• Access Age-Restricted Content Safely: Verify your age without sharing your date of birth or uploading ID photos repeatedly

As more of life moves online, having a trusted digital identity becomes as important as having a driver's license or passport.

While social login is convenient, TNID offers fundamentally different capabilities:

Feature	Social Login	TNID
Identity Verification	No verification - anyone can create an account	Full KYC/KYB verification - proves you're real
Privacy	Shares email, name, sometimes more	Selective disclosure - share only what's needed
Portability	Tied to one platform (Google, Facebook, etc.)	Platform-independent, works everywhere
Control	Big tech companies control your access	You own and control your identity
Trust Level	Low - no verification of identity	High - cryptographically verified credentials

TNID is designed for use cases where trust and verification matter, while social login is primarily about convenience.

Security and privacy are at the core of TNID's architecture. Here's how we protect your data:

• End-to-End Encryption: Your personal data is encrypted at rest and in transit using industry-standard encryption (AES-256, TLS 1.3)
• Zero-Knowledge Proofs: Prove attributes about yourself without revealing the underlying data (e.g., prove you're over 21 without sharing your birthdate)
• Selective Disclosure: You explicitly approve what information is shared with each service
• No Data Selling: We never sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes
• Compliance: TNID is built to comply with GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy regulations
• Regular Audits: Third-party security audits ensure our systems meet the highest standards
• Data Minimization: We only collect and store what's absolutely necessary

You remain in control of your identity data at all times. You can revoke access, delete your account, or export your data whenever you choose.

Getting started with TNID is quick and straightforward:

1. Create Your Account: Visit app.tnid.com and sign up with your email or phone number
2. Verify Your Identity: Complete our secure KYC process by providing:
   • Government-issued ID (driver's license, passport, or national ID)
   • Selfie for liveness verification
   • Basic contact information (email, phone)
3. Get Verified: Our verification process typically takes 1-5 minutes. You'll receive an email when approved
4. Start Using TNID: Once verified, you can use your TNID across all supported platforms and services
