How we protect your identity

A clear, step-by-step guide to how we protect your identity on Campus Ghost — with screenshots you can follow along.

Step-by-step guide

1
Identity Verification
Verification is used only for authentication—not for displaying your identity.
2
Unique Ghost ID
A secure algorithm generates a random Ghost ID such as Ghost002, Ghost208, or Ghost099. This becomes your public identity across Campus Ghost.
3
Separate Identity Vault
Your real identity and your Ghost ID are stored in separate secure systems. Public posts reference only your Ghost ID, never your personal details.
4
Anonymous Publishing
Every post, comment, and reply is published using your Ghost ID. Your name, email, profile photo, and personal information are never shown.
5
Community Validation
Instead of likes, students verify information using Valid and Invalid votes. The platform measures community confidence in the content—not the person who shared it.
6
Privacy by Design
Our anonymity architecture is designed so your identity remains protected while your experiences help build a transparent and trustworthy campus community.

Keep your app updated — new privacy protections ship every few weeks.
Your Ghost Identity is protected end-to-end. Even Campus Ghost cannot link a post back to your real name.
If a screen looks different, tap Help inside the app for live, contextual guidance.

Is this feature free to use?

Yes. Every core feature on Campus Ghost is free for verified students.

Will other students see my real identity?

No. Campus Ghost only ever shows your Ghost Identity in posts, comments and votes.
