People choose what they share.
Advocate is a consent-based network. People own their profiles. Organizations own their data. Every organization is checked before it joins.
People own their profiles.
Each person makes their own profile and chooses which organizations can see it, the way you join a group.
- People apply for themselves, from any phone
- They agree before an organization sees their information
- One profile works for every program they choose to join
Your organization owns its data.
Your notes, reviews, and program records belong to your organization. Use them to serve people. Never for anything else.
- Use what people share only for the reason they shared it
- Keep household details private unless the person agrees otherwise
- Reciprocity has not sold personal information. Our Privacy Policy has the details.
Every organization is checked.
Bad actors put the people you serve at risk. So we check each organization before it joins, and we act on every report.
- Organizations give us their EIN and agree to our Terms, Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, and Code of Conduct
- We look into every report about an organization
- Breaking the rules leads to a warning, a suspension, or a permanent ban
Who Advocate isn’t for.
Consent is the center of Advocate. That makes it a strong fit for some programs and the wrong tool for others.
A strong fit: programs where the people you serve can apply and agree to share for themselves.
Not built for: organizations that must enter highly sensitive information for someone else, such as domestic violence services or child abuse intake. A person who reports their own situation, for example on a shelter application, is fine.
Don’t see your program? Reciprocity builds custom tools for cases like these.
Rules that protect people.
Every organization and person on Advocate follows the same Code of Conduct: treat people with respect, protect their privacy, and keep your promises to them.
