TruAnon Identity
TruAnon gives your site a trust dimension without your platform ever holding personal information. Members anchor their identity to their account once — a voluntary, one-time act — and from then on a badge showing their rank (Genuine, Reliable, Credible, Cautioned, Dangerous) and confidence score follows them across your site: comments, bylines, profiles, anywhere.
Rank is a reflection of a member’s existing public presence — the accounts the world already knows them by. TruAnon does not collect documents and your site stores no personal data: only a cached rank, score, and photo. Nothing identifying can leak from your database because it was never there.
Members control everything from their own panel: visibility on or off, which categories show (personal, contact, social), and a private mode that removes links entirely. Revocation is a member right — flipping off returns them to Unknown everywhere.
Features
- Rank + score + color badge, rendered instantly from cache — no page ever waits on an API
- Automatic badges beside comment authors, post bylines, and on member profiles — no configuration
- Profile details (personal, contact, social) fetched live per view and never stored — grants and revocations apply in real time

- Verification happens in an overlay on your site; the private key never leaves your server
