Together we can make the Internet the safest place on Earth™.

Your TrustCircle is a collection of your friends, family, colleagues, and acquaintances all working together to keep each other safe. By inviting people to join your TrustCircle, you are promising to notify them of who to trust and whom to avoid online. By accepting your invitation, they are promising to do likewise for you!

When you rate a person you can decide whether you want to share the rating with your TrustCircle or with the entire universe of TrustPlus users.

Your TrustCircle is comprised of:

		Inner Circle	people closest to you, such as your most trusted family members and closest friends
		Friends, Family & Colleagues	people you know well
		Acquaintances	people you know, but perhaps only casually

It's easy

You can type in individual email adresses or use addresses from Outlook, AOL, Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, and Hotmail. You can also upload email lists from most popular email applications.

Your contacts will receive an e-mail invitation to join your TrustCircle. Only you know the level of your TrustCircle assigned to each contact and you can make changes to your TrustCircle at any time, moving your contacts from level to level. You can customize the wording of the invitation and you will be notified when they accept your invitation. Upon acceptance of our invitation, your contacts will automatically have a TrustPlus account.

Your TrustCircle impacts the reputation scores you see

We're all six degrees or less of separation from each other and you can view reputation through the lens of the people you trust the most and the particular circumstance. For example, just because someone has a reputation on the dating scene doesn't mean he'll pay quickly for the book he just purchased. You can also view his reputation relative to people in your TrustCircle to see if he's been trustworthy in dealing with other people you know.

How much do you trust their opinion? You decide!

You might not value the opinions of everyone in your Inner Circle equally. With TrustPlus you can individually adjust how much the ratings of people in your circle are weighted.
