About the "Sviy dlya Svoikh" platform

📱 What is Sviy dlya Svoikh?

Sviy dlya Svoikh ("One of Our Own") is a free online platform — a website and an Android app — where individuals and entrepreneurs publish their services, and other users find the right providers, send them requests and communicate with them directly.

The platform is available in Ukrainian and English. The catalog of services and profiles can be browsed without registering.

🎯 Our Mission

We built a platform that brings together the Ukrainian diaspora and the wider community to help one another in running businesses and finding services. Our goal is to support our own people and build a community of trust, where everyone can find the services they need from people who share common values.

🧭 What the platform is for

The purpose of the platform is to help people find each other for services and business cooperation:

  • find a service provider by category and city;
  • present your services and business to a wide audience;
  • contact a provider directly — through a request or chat;
  • choose based on other users' reviews and ratings.

💡 Why "Sviy dlya Svoikh"?

  • Trust: All members follow high ethical standards
  • Support: Every deal supports your own business, your family and your community
  • Quality: The ratings and reviews system helps maintain a high level of service
  • Convenience: Finding the service or client you need is now quick and easy

🔒 How user information is protected

We apply the following protection measures:

  • Passwords are stored only as hashes (bcrypt) — the plain-text password is never stored.
  • Sign-in is maintained with session tokens in secure cookies (httpOnly; in production, sent over HTTPS only).
  • The website and the app work over a secure HTTPS connection.
  • The number of sign-in and registration attempts is limited to make password guessing harder.
  • Actions that require an account (messages, requests, reviews) are available only to signed-in users.
  • You can delete your account yourself (password confirmation required) — the related data is deleted.
