About perso
perso is built by Etienne Gillard, a European entrepreneur and investor. It exists for a simple reason: the public internet lost track of who is real. perso is a social network where every member is a verified human, organizations are verified too, and membership, not advertising, funds the platform, so it answers to its members.
perso is European by design. It runs on European infrastructure and is built around European data-protection rules, including GDPR and eIDAS. Trust is not a feature added at the end; it is the foundation.
In brief
What is perso?
perso is a social network where every member is a verified human. It uses government photo ID verification to keep out bots, fake accounts, and anonymous trolls, so the people you talk to are real and accountable. perso is mobile-first, ad-free, and funded by membership rather than advertising.
Who can join?
Anyone who can verify that they are a real person. Each member completes a one-time identity check with perso's verification provider, Didit, by scanning a government photo ID and taking a short selfie for liveness. perso never stores the raw ID images; it keeps only a verified name and an over-18 flag.
Who operates perso?
perso.social is operated by ACGG Rent, S.L., a Spanish company (sociedad limitada) registered in Madrid, which is the publisher and sole data controller for perso. It is represented by founder Etienne Gillard. perso runs on European infrastructure and is built around EU data-protection law, including GDPR and eIDAS.
