About Ganson+

Real-life sharing, rethought for the web

Overview

Ganson+ is a place to hang out with the people who matter. Put friends in circles and share with just the right ones, join communities around what you're into, and post your photos. It's run by volunteers as a hobby.

The code was written from scratch.

Who runs it

Ganson+ is an independent hobby project, built and run by one person with help from volunteer moderators. It isn't affiliated with any other site, group or community.

We are not Google

Ganson+ is not made by, owned by, endorsed by, or affiliated with Google. "Google" and "Google+" are trademarks of Google LLC.

We never ask for your Google or Gmail password, and there is no "Sign in with Google". Ganson+ accounts are separate: you choose a username and password that only work here. If a page ever asks you for a Google password in our name, it isn't us.

Your data

We keep only what the site needs to work: your username, a securely hashed password, what you choose to post, and scrambled (hashed) network records used to fight spam and abuse. We don't sell data, show ads, or take payments. Details are in the privacy policy.

Safety and moderation

Volunteer moderators handle reports. Every post, comment and profile has a report option, and staff can remove content, mute or ban accounts. Links and videos are limited to trusted accounts to keep spam out.

Contact

Signed-in users can reach the moderators with the report button on any post, comment or profile. For anything else, including security issues, message a staff member on the site.
