## Current web2 alternatives are broken

- They are susceptible to many types of hacks

- They have backdoor access to user data

- Privacy invading algorithms

## How IC Drive ensures privacy

- We believe privacy is a fundamental right in the digital world

- Only a user has access to their data via the Internet Identity

- IC Drive as a platform don't have access to the user data and hence your data is fully secure

- No backdoor access and analysis of any user data
