REALLY Privacy & Security Features

The Critic’s Question

“What exactly are the privacy and security features I get with REALLY, and which ones are yours vs. Aura’s?”

Built In by REALLY (Telco-Native)

1) Anonymous Accounts (No PII)

• Start and use service without personal identifiable information.

• Your service is not an ad product; we don’t monetize customer data.

2) Our PrivateCore™ Technology

• We run the “brains” of the network ourselves: provisioning, policy, billing, and care.

• No centralized, identity-linked archive of your historical usage.

• No identifier mapping (IMSI/eSIM/ICCID ↔ account) shared with hosts.

3) Minimal Data, Short Retention

• Clear retention ceilings; delete on schedule.

4) SIM-Swap Protection & Account Hardening

• Extra verification for SIM changes and recovery flows.

• Monitored, auditable change workflows.

5) Encrypted-Calling Protections (Network Side)

• VoLTE/VoNR-first; anti-downgrade stance where devices support it.

• Guidance to reduce legacy fallbacks (e.g., 2G-off where available).

6) Device Hygiene (Optional Helpers)

• Device Scanner: quick checks for risky settings/signals.

• Anti-Spy Setup: step-by-step hardening guide for iOS/Android (permissions, OS updates, lockdown tips).

7) Data-Removal Service

• One-tap jumpstart to remove your info from data brokers (outside the telco system).

• Helpful for shrinking your overall digital footprint.

8) VPN (Aura)

• Encrypts your internet traffic on public Wi-Fi and other untrusted networks; supports major platforms.

• Complements our network-side privacy.

9) AI Call Filter

• Screens likely spam/scam calls to reduce social-engineering risk.

10) AI Text Filter

• Flags suspicious SMS/MMS (phishing, impersonation, malware links).

11) Credit Monitoring

• Alerts on changes to your credit profile.

12) Dark Web Monitoring

• Notifies you if your selected identifiers (e.g., email) appear in known breaches.

13) Identity-Theft Insurance (up to $1M)

• Reimbursement/restoration assistance if identity fraud occurs (policy terms apply).

Note: Aura receives only what’s needed to run the features you enable (e.g., an email to monitor). Aura does not receive telco usage data (no CDRs, tower history, or our subscriber-identity mapping).

What’s Built-In vs. Powered by Aura (One Look)

Practical Examples

• Traveling & hotel Wi-Fi: Use Aura VPN for encrypted browsing; your phone-service records remain private and separate.

• SIM change request: Our SIM-swap protections add verification and logging; casual takeovers get much harder.

• Unknown caller/text: AI call/text filters lower scam risk; your telco data isn’t shared to provide these features.

• Breach alert: Dark web monitoring spots your email in a leaked dataset; use our data-removal service to shrink exposure.

• High-risk voice: Keep calls on VoLTE/VoNR where possible; for sensitive topics, consider an e2e app (our VPN helps those data sessions).
