How ParLocal works under the hood: the live formats, the Compass, spheres, your agent, privacy and verification.
Every article here describes what the product actually does. When something does not yet work a certain way, this centre would rather have no page than the wrong one.
Live experiences
- The live formatsThere are five live formats — Cast, Arena, Match Show, Blind Live and Challenge — and each one runs by its own rules; it is not the same show under different names.
- CastA hosted experience with applications, green room, stage, audience and post-live continuity.
- ArenaA room you open yourself: participants ask to come up on stage, and the host — which is you — decides who goes up and who comes down.
- Match ShowLive conversations that end in a crossed decision: each person answers in private whether they want to continue, and only what is mutual becomes public.
- Blind LiveThe conversation starts without a face: presence, interests and voice come first, and the reveal happens in agreed phases, not by surprise.
- ChallengeIt is not a show: it is the recruiting mechanism that feeds the other formats — someone proposes a challenge, people sign up within a window, the audience backs them and the proposer selects.
- What gets recorded and who can see itNot every live session becomes an available recording: an Arena's default publishes no replay, and in a Cast the decision about your recording is yours and is kept on record.
Compatibility and agent
- The CompassA map of eight dimensions of what you declared you want and what your choices have shown — it is not a personality test and it passes no verdict on anyone.
- My AgentAn assistant that looks for and assesses connections for you, within an autonomy level you choose — and that never pretends to be you.

Privacy and data
- Private messagesOne-to-one conversations are end-to-end encrypted on your device, with cryptography resistant to quantum computers — the server carries them, it does not read them.
- Privacy and your dataThe profile is born anonymous, each Compass answer has its own visibility, and exporting or deleting the account are your own actions, with a deadline and a way back.
