Togra shows where things are. Not where people are.

A social network built around places has to be careful with yours.

What people ask.

Is my location shown to other people?
No one sees where you are. Togra uses your location to tell when you’ve reached something. When you open something left for you, or arrive for a Together, the people in it see that you got there, never where you were before or where you go after.
Does opening the map tell anyone where I am?
No. You can look around your city without Togra showing anyone where you are. It asks for your exact location only when it needs it: to open something, or to show you where you are on your own map.
Can Togra tell me when something’s nearby?
Only if you turn it on. Alerts for things left for you stay off until you say yes, and you can turn them off any time.
Can I label Home and Work?
Yes, for yourself. Nobody else ever sees your labels, and nobody can leave a public Drop at anyone’s home.
What does leaving something reveal?
Where the thing is. It stays there after you’ve gone, and nobody can see where you went.
What happens when I open something left for me?
The person who left it sees that you opened it, when, and that you were at that place. Togra tells you this before you open it. They never see where you were before or after.
And when I open a public Drop?
Whoever left it sees only how many people opened it, later and in round numbers.
And when we open something together?
The others see that you’ve arrived, not where you came from or where you go after.
Can people look back at where I’ve been?
No. A place’s past holds only what people chose to leave to that place, and only after its time on the map. You look back through a place, never through a person.
Who can leave things for me?
You decide. You can keep it to friends, or open it up.
Who can open what I leave?
Exactly who you chose: one person, some friends, your Circle, or anyone who gets there.
Are my messages private?
Yes. Private messages are encrypted in transit and at rest, and Togra never uses them for ads or to decide what you see.
Why does Togra ask for my phone number?
To help you get back into your account, and, if you choose, to help friends who have your number find you. It’s never on your profile and never given to businesses.
Does Togra sell my data?
No. Togra never sells your data, and never sells anyone’s location or where they’ve been.
Can I see and delete what Togra has?
Yes. You can see it, download it and delete it.
What do businesses see?
How many people came, claimed something or came back. Your name only if you choose to share it with them. Never where you’ve been.
Where do details about places come from?
Some, like opening hours, come from Google Maps and are shown with Google’s name on them.
Who can use Togra?
Togra is for people 13 and over. In Kenya, a parent or guardian needs to say yes first for anyone aged 13 to 17. Young people’s details are never shared with businesses, and nothing commercial is aimed at them.

The details are in our Privacy Policy.

The rules Togra is built on.

  • The location of something is not the live location of a person.
  • Togra asks before it uses where you are, and tells you why.
  • Homes deserve particular care: a house should not quietly become a public landmark.
  • Location must never become a way to follow someone, or to keep reaching someone who doesn’t want it.
  • If something only opens at a place, there’s no way around that. Togra checks you’re there once, when you open it, and doesn’t keep where you were.
