# Privacy ivault balances complete privacy with seamless, safe communication and interaction. This starts with user profiles. After they’re KYC-cleared, users can have an avatar or nickname to stay private. Users can keep their personal information private when using the app. They don’t need to use their name, share their phone number or give their address when borrowing or renting – just agree on a meeting point instead. KYC ensures that we can share a user’s identity when it’s absolutely necessary. Trust is a two-way street and the ivault app offers the perfect mix between privacy and accountability. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
