Your Data is in Your Hands
One of the biggest concerns of our users is about protecting their privacy and ensuring security of their information.
We've put this as a priority objective and here's some information about what you can expect.
API Access to Healthcare data
We connect your STI lab data directly from your Healthcare Provider to ensure the tests are authentic.
To obtain these credentials, we are required to maintain strict standards for information handling, storage, and sharing.
Only You Share Your Data
At no point do we share any of your private information or status with your current or potential partners. Only you show them directly from your password protected Swabber App.
We do send anonymous notifications to your past partners if they were with you when you were infected. That's their legal right to know that they were exposed, and it's also important to protect their rights.
Always Anonomous
We calculate your anonymized usage information to help your partner know how responsible you are. We also research those behaviors and infections to better understand what's really going on out there. This is how we hope to make a difference and reduce infections globally.
We use that info to predict outbreaks, and notify you if you are at risk.
But before any of that happens, we anonymize your data.
What that means is that even if there is a malicious attack, a data breach, or just some stupid mistake, the data is encrypted so it's anonymous. No one can know- not even us.
Technology
Sexual Responsibility Score
Our scoring algorithms use thousands of input variables to calculate a sexual responsibility credit score. This statistical approach to sexual health motivates users to act responsibly, it provides accurate assessments of behavior to understand risk, while ensuring your private details are still anonymous.
Integration with Dating Apps
Having the Swabber Badge means you have been tested and your partner can trust that you prioritize sexual safety too.
We hope someday to integrate this badge into your dating profiles. So if anyone knows how to get in touch with Match Group, let me know :)
Machine Learning for You. Machine Learning for the World.
When you connect to a partner, an anonymous connection is recorded on a network. Using complex systems science and ML models, we can begin to study the behaviors which affect transmission and predict potential outbreaks. We essentially have access to the largest and most accurate sexual behavioral and infection data ever before. We can identify super spreaders and notify people of risk to close the window of risk as quickly as possible.
Long term Biosecurity Vison
To build the necessary infrastructure, access, privacy, trust, familiarity, and prediction capability is a monumental task. In the long term, additional infections could be easily added to this testing authentication, notification and prediction system to mitigate future catastrophic pathogenic risks.
