Privacy-Focused Communication Networks

The enclayve Block Stores Data Locally to Maintain Privacy

— April 1, 2020 — Social Media
In our increasingly digital age, many consumers are worried about the privacy and ownership of their data, hence the launch of the new privacy-focused communication device—the enclayve block. The tool gives consumers the ability to control their data ownership by storing all information, including photos, video likes, posts, and comments of friends, locally on the enclayve Block and app. Users can invite loved ones to join, building a network-of-networks that can be connected, disconnected, and controlled by the individual.

“With enclayve, you can have your own private social media network and can still be on Facebook and Instagram. You have a place for private information while still being able to participate in public networks. We truly believe that the option to have safety and privacy is something that everyone deserves,” said enclayve CEO and founder Dave Chura.
