# Social Network

The **Vent Social Network** is a social community that connects creators and like-minded individuals to grow and strengthen project communities in a safe and controlled environment. 

Users can create their own public profile with a profile picture and add personal information. As described in [Compliance](https://vent-finance.gitbook.io/vent-finance/ventup-launchpad/launchpad/compliance), VENT will comply with the data protection legislation to protect the users personal data. 

They can interact by **upvoting projects**, **commenting on projects,** and interacting with communities through **interactive forums**. As the community grows the Vent Social Network will become a great place to exchange of ideas and thoughts, allowing project creators to better understand customer needs and expectations.

Only verified creators can create a project specific forum. All forums  need to be confirmed by the Vent Finance team before going live.
