Anti-stalking at Its Core

Location should help, not expose

Your location should help you discover people, not help other people discover exactly where you are.

That sounds obvious, but plenty of social apps still treat precise location as a feature instead of a risk.

Built to resist triangulation

Winklr is designed to make stalking-style behaviour harder from the start.

We do not show your exact location, and we avoid features that would let someone piece it together over time.

That includes rejecting patterns that could make it easier to triangulate where you are, predict where you are heading, or narrow your position through repeated checks.

Discovery without giving too much away

People still need a useful way to find others nearby.

That is why discovery uses dynamic location weighting to make your position less predictable, instead of showing a fixed and precise representation of where you are.

For distance-based features, proximity is calculated on the backend. We do not rely on map pins, live tracking, or anything that turns discovery into a trail back to your exact location.

What that means in practice

Our approach is simple:

• You stay discoverable
• Your exact location stays private
• Distance remains useful without becoming invasive

The goal is not to remove location from the product. The goal is to make it useful without making it risky.

Privacy by design

For us, anti-stalking protection is not an extra setting buried in a menu. It is part of the product at its core.

If a feature makes it easier for someone to work out where you are, we do not see that as clever. We see it as a problem to solve.
