Friend Watchdog: Your Safety Net for Social Media Connections
Friend Watchdog helps users manage their social media privacy and monitor their friend requests, ensuring a secure and controlled online environment.
Please note that you are sending status updates only when Friend Watchdog is up and running, and that status changes from multiple users are merged, so the more users of Friend Watchdog, and the more these users keep Friend Watchdog up and running, the more accurate will be the usage stats.
Why should you trust Friend Watchdog? Here is why:
your Facebook account is NEVER sent to our servers, it is stored in encrypted form only on your computer, and it is used to access your Facebook account from your computer only. There is no way that we can access your Facebook account!
we do not know how your friends are: the names of your friends are salted and hashed with SHA1, and only the hash is sent to the servers, so that we can distinguish between different friend names but we cannot retrieve friends' names from the hashes. For example, an username such as 'stefanotommesani' generates this unique hash code: CDE381A6C6AD22E844263908022D40C4FE634C37. This hash code uniquely identifies the given username, but there is no way to go from the hash code back to the username, so the names of your friends remain private, and only you can see them
once you allow Friend Watchdog to connect to the Skype application running on your PC, it only reads the list of friends and their online status, and that is the only information that is being monitored, always using hash codes so that your privacy is safe
