Your privacy matters
We protect everyone involved
Genwor People was built from the ground up with privacy as its foundation. Both those searching and those being searched for are protected.
You decide what to share
You control the information you publish. We only ask for general details: name, relationship, approximate city, and timeframe. Never sensitive data.
Mediated contact
If someone recognizes the person you're looking for, we make the first contact. No one accesses your data directly.
Prior moderation
Every post is reviewed by our team before it becomes visible. We protect all parties involved.
No sensitive data
Publishing ID numbers, phone numbers, exact addresses, or photos without consent is strictly prohibited. Our system detects them automatically.
Right to be forgotten
Anyone can request the complete deletion of their information at any time, without having to give any reason.
Protected data
All communication is encrypted. Your data is stored securely and never shared with third parties.
Frequently asked questions
We answer your questions
Everything you need to know before posting your search.
Yes, Genwor People is completely free. Our goal is to reconnect people, not to generate profit. Posting a search, browsing existing ones, and receiving notifications has no cost whatsoever.
Privacy is our core principle. We never publish sensitive data like ID numbers, phone numbers, or exact addresses. If someone recognizes the person you're looking for, we make the first contact. The person being sought decides whether they want to reconnect. If they decline, we notify you without revealing any of their information.
We absolutely respect their decision. If the person being sought does not wish to reconnect, we notify you that your message was delivered but that they have chosen not to respond at this time. We never reveal their location, contact details, or any other information.
You only need basic information: the person's name or nickname, your relationship (family, friend, etc.), the general city or region where you last saw them, the approximate time period, and your search story. ID documents, phone numbers, exact addresses, and photos without consent are not allowed.
Yes, absolutely. We comply with data protection laws (GDPR/LGPD). You can request the complete deletion of your account and all your data at any time from your profile, without needing to give any explanation. The process is immediate and permanent.
