No More Home Intrusion: Phinge Introduces Ciana Personal Assistants: Users Will Own Their Data & Ensure Privacy While Earning Rewards Through Netverse

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - Oct. 13, 2025 - PRLog -- Phinge's® Ciana™ home and business assistants will offer a fundamentally innovative and more secure approach based on user privacy compared to current personal home assistants, by integrating its patented hardware-based verification and user-owned data through its patented Netverse® app-less platform.

Current personal assistants are app-based and are not transparent as to all the information they are compiling from users and when. In addition they are reactionary and require security patches when vulnerabilities are discovered. Netverse is designed to be a proactive app-less ecosystem with a focus on user privacy, ownership, control and empowerment

Traditional personal assistants, while convenient, operate on a reactive security model and a business model that treats user data as a commodity to be monetized without user compensation. Netverse will offer a compelling vision for a new type of home assistant, one built on proactive, hardware-verified security, a direct-to-user reward system, and a core philosophy of user ownership, control, and monetization of personal data. By contrasting this innovative approach with today's established practices of the biggest money transfer services and their market-dominant competitors, a clear picture emerges of how Phinge personal assistants could be more secure, rewarding, and respectful of user privacy.

Enhanced security and privacy

Feature	Phinge Netverse	Traditional Systems
Verification	All users, businesses, and third-party platforms are verified through proprietary hardware. This aims to create a trustworthy ecosystem that drastically reduces bots, fraud, and fake accounts.	Security relies on software updates and monitoring, with verification dependent on app store policies and individual app settings. This leaves the system vulnerable to a patchwork of threats.
Security model	Proactive: Security is built directly into the hardware and ecosystem to prevent threats like malware and fraud from entering in the first place.	Reactive: Security largely depends on patching vulnerabilities after they are discovered. The reactive approach can leave systems vulnerable to emerging threats.
Hardware	Technology is accessible only through Phinge's own patented mobile hardware, including home and business personal assistants. Consolidating the tech stack onto proprietary hardware will offer a more secure environment.	These systems rely on third-party and proprietary hardware that is separate from your personal devices, creating a more fragmented security landscape.
Privacy	Phinge users always know what data is being used by Netverse and when it is gathering it. Users will have a preview mode to see all information before Netverse actually starts using it. Users can granularly change data collecting easily from their Netverse dashboard at any time.	Accidental "wake-ups" can occur when a word or phrase that sounds similar to the wake word is spoken. While the device should not be constantly recording, these misinterpretations can result in snippets of conversation being sent to the cloud.

Universal rewards system

The Netverse rewards system is designed to compensate users directly for their engagement and data, shifting power away from tech companies.

Feature	Phinge Netverse	Traditional Systems
Rewards model	Direct-to-user: Rewards are earned for engagement and interaction across the Netverse ecosystem, including travel, restaurant reviews, and purchases. This rewards system benefits users directly, incentivizing their participation.	Primarily benefits the parent company through data monetization and in-app purchases. The user typically receives no direct compensation for their data or engagement.
Monetization model	Users can earn rewards that act as "same-as-cash" with all verified Netverse businesses. Merchants only pay a small commission on sales, rather than high upfront advertising costs.	Ad-based revenue model. Companies charge upfront for advertising and rely on in-app purchases for revenue.

User verification, data control and monetization

Netverse's hardware-based verification and user-controlled data model represent a significant departure from current home assistants.

Feature	Phinge Netverse	Traditional Systems
Data ownership	User-owned: All user-generated data is user-owned and controlled, and can be monetized by the user, not Netverse. Users have granular control over what data is shared, to whom and when.	Platform-owned: Data is scattered across numerous platforms and collected by tech companies for their own monetization, with limited transparency and minimal user compensation.
Verification	Hardware-verified identity: Users are verified through Phinge's hardware, reducing the potential for bots, fraud, and fake accounts. Anonymity is possible by the user for public-facing interactions, but the underlying user is still verified.	Limited verification: Accounts are not verified through hardware, making them vulnerable to impersonation and scams.
Monetization	Direct compensation: Users can receive direct financial payments in "same-as-cash" rewards for consenting to share their data. A transparent dashboard shows users what data is being shared, with whom, and for what compensation.	Indirect monetization: User data is monetized by the tech company through targeted ads. The user is not compensated directly for the use of their data.

"The core distinction between Netverse and traditional home assistants lies in their fundamental approach. Current personal assistants are tools within a corporate-owned and controlled ecosystem, whereas Phinge's Netverse is designed to be a user-centric platform. By prioritizing proactive, hardware-based security and a reward system that values user owned data, Netverse seeks to build a more trustworthy, transparent, and rewarding digital experience where users are empowered rather than monetized," says Phinge CEO Robert DeMaio.
