To delete your account, simply delete the PikcioMe app from your device. Because your data is only stored on your device, it will also be deleted.

PikcioMe receives cookies in order to save your information, so you do not have to type it again.
However, these cookies do not live beyond your session. This means they are deleted as soon as your session ends. When you reopen your app, you will start again from scratch.

Pikcio does not store data, except your username, email address and the operating system on which you installed PikcioMe (Mac, Windows or Linux). However, this data stays on your device and is not shared with anyone, even Pikcio.

When you upload a document, such as a photo ID or proof of address, you can request for it to be certified.
This certification means this data comes from a legitimate source and can be trusted (e.g. your proof of address was downloaded from your personal space on your energy provider’s website). This makes administrative processes easier when applying to a service (bank account, insurance plan, etc).

The Trust Capital Index is a score that is given to users to vouch for their reliability. It is based on the amount of personal information you have entered in your personal profile and on the frequency of your browsing activity. Read more about increasing your trust capital index

When you install PikcioMe on your device and create an account, you can then go to your settings and enable the “relay node” function. By doing so, the network will increase its performance for every user’s benefit.
In order to become a relay node, you need to check UPMO is enabled on your Internet box. This is usually the case but businesses sometimes disable it.

PikcioMe will be open source within the year 2019. Feel free to contact us if you wish to be included in our development projects!
