The FUTO ID flutter app

Hi,

anyone come across and used the Polycentric + Harbour option for managing digital ID? What do you think about it? Does it really manage IDs in a private and secure way? I came across FLUTO who seem to be great promoters of "software for the benefit of humanity" but you always wonder how much you can trust these thrid parties ... when they decide to sell your data?

when they decide to sell your data?

The only way to be sure they won't sell or otherwise misuse it is to make sure they don't have it in the first place, i.e. it never leaves your system. So the first thing to check is whether the software uploads your private data to someone else's computer. If yes, treat it as non-private.
