Over
Over 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 everyone who posts or replies has passed an ID check, and membership, not advertising, funds the platform, so it answers to its members.
perso is Europees van opzet. Het draait op Europese infrastructuur en is opgebouwd rond Europese gegevensbeschermingsregels, waaronder GDPR en eIDAS. Vertrouwen is geen functie die op het eind wordt toegevoegd; het is het fundament.
Jouw feed
Jouw feed, niet die van een algoritme
Op de meeste platforms ben jij niet de klant. Jij bent het product: jouw aandacht is wat er verkocht wordt, en een rangschikkingsalgoritme bepaalt wat het je laat zien op basis van wat je aan het scrollen houdt, en niet op basis van wat je wilde zien. Dat is het verdienmodel, en de feed is waar het leeft.
perso is built the other way around. Because members pay a small fee, we work for you, not for advertisers, so we do not need to farm your attention. Your home feed reflects that directly: it shows posts from verified people, newest first. No one pays to be in it, and paying does not push a post up. A chronological feed ends, on purpose, because we are not trying to keep you here longer than you want to be.
What decides whether a post appears in your home feed is simple and public: the author has verified their ID, the post's visibility setting lets you see it, and you have not blocked or muted the author. Not follower count, not likes, not who paid, not who is "important." When you are the customer instead of the product, your feed can just be your feed. You can read exactly how this works, in detail, on our "How your feed works" page.
In het kort
Wat is perso?
perso is a social network where everyone who posts, replies, likes or follows has passed a government photo ID check, and one ID document opens one account. Anyone can read public posts without paying. perso is mobile-first, ad-free, and funded by membership rather than advertising.
Wie kan lid worden?
Anyone 18 or older, in a country or region where perso is offered, can create an account, and reading public posts needs no account. To take part, you become a member and pass a one-time identity check. Membership is paid, but journalists approved for the press waiver do not pay. The check is done with perso's verification provider, Didit: you scan a government photo ID and take a short selfie for liveness. perso does not store the raw ID images; what it keeps from the check is set out in the Privacy Policy.
Wie beheert perso?
perso.social wordt beheerd door ACGG Rent, S.L., een Spaans bedrijf (sociedad limitada) geregistreerd in Madrid, dat de uitgever en enige verwerkingsverantwoordelijke voor perso is. Het wordt vertegenwoordigd door oprichter Etienne Gillard. perso draait op Europese infrastructuur en is opgebouwd rond de EU-wetgeving voor gegevensbescherming, waaronder GDPR en eIDAS.
