How FamilyNet Works
FamilyNet gives families a private social networking environment built around trusted communities, privacy, and real-world connections.
FamilyNet is now accepting Founding FamilyPack subscriptions in British Columbia.
Built for Families
Private Social Networking
FamilyNet is designed as an alternative to conventional open social networks.
Families can connect in an environment without advertising, behavioural tracking, engagement algorithms, data sharing, or open connections with strangers.
Built Around Trusted Communities
FamilyNet is designed for families connected through schools and trusted family-focused organizations.
Rather than bringing millions of unrelated people together, FamilyNet builds communities around existing relationships where trust and accountability already exist.
Privacy by Design
Privacy is part of the design of FamilyNet rather than an optional setting.
FamilyNet does not depend on advertising, behavioural tracking, engagement algorithms, or sharing personal information with third parties.
One FamilyPack for Your Family
A FamilyPack is one annual subscription for a family and includes access for up to eight family members.
Each participating family member receives their own private FamilyNet account.
Supporting Community Partners
Families can associate their FamilyPack with a participating school or family-focused organization using that organization's Partner ID.
Each eligible FamilyPack associated with a participating Partner provides a $5 contribution to that organization, including annual renewals.
The Partner contribution does not change the FamilyPack price.
Member-Funded by Design
FamilyNet is funded through FamilyPack subscriptions rather than advertising or the commercial use of personal information.
This model helps keep the service independent of advertising, tracking, and engagement-driven business models.
