See the full circle first
Review the creator, purpose, and proposed participants before deciding whether the group belongs in your life.
See who’s being invited
No group without permission
Your circle. Your consent. Your peace.
GroupLock replaces surprise group chats with clear invitations. See who is involved, understand the purpose, and decide before the conversation ever reaches you.

A healthier default
Group messaging should begin with permission.
GroupLock protects boundaries before a conversation begins—not after the damage is already done.
Set your boundaries once
Contacts-only invitations, trusted people, blocked users, invisible mode, and automatic declines.
Separate invites from chats
Requests wait quietly in a consent inbox until you are ready to review them.
For responsible organizations
Structure communication without sacrificing dignity.
Manage roles, approvals, announcements, and audit history while every member keeps the right to consent.
Trust & security
Privacy claims should match product rules.
GroupLock is designed around explicit permission boundaries that are enforced in the product—not just described in marketing.
Invitation is not membership
A request stays outside the live conversation until that person explicitly accepts it.
Admin authority is not message access
Organization managers can administer structure without silently entering conversations they never joined.
Verified identity before protected access
Email ownership or a verified identity-provider sign-in is established before protected GroupLock actions.
Attachments follow conversation permissions
In-app attachment delivery is routed through the same conversation-access checks used for messages.
Blocking stays a private safety choice
GroupLock avoids exposing a visible decline merely because someone has been blocked.
You can leave — and you can delete
Leave conversations and memberships where supported, or permanently delete your GroupLock account from Settings.
Clear about encryption.GroupLock does not currently claim end-to-end encryption. Read the Privacy Policy for the current security and data-handling model.
Three clear steps
Invitation first. Conversation second.
Create a circle
Name the space, explain its purpose, and select the people you would like to invite.
Send a consent request
Each person sees who started it and who else is included before making a decision.
Connect by agreement
Only people who actively accept receive access to the live conversation.
Built for people, ready for organizations
Communication by consent scales with your community.
Churches & ministries
Respectful communication for members, leaders, volunteers, and care teams.
Schools & youth programs
Transparent group invitations for staff, parents, eligible students, and partners.
Families & communities
Create safer circles without exposing people to unwanted conversations.
Teams & professionals
Protect off-hours peace and keep workplace communication intentional.
Built for responsible organizations
Control the structure. Never override the person.
Churches, schools, nonprofits, businesses, and teams can coordinate at scale while each person keeps the right to decide whether they enter a communication space.
Start an organizationDepartments & teamsOrganize communication by ministry, grade, department, project, or team.
Role-based administrationOwners and admins manage structure while individual participation still requires consent.
Consent-based membershipOrganization invitations show the organization, proposed role, and team before acceptance.
Announcement circlesCreate controlled broadcast spaces without changing the rule that access begins by agreement.
Audit historyTrack organization-level administrative actions for accountability and operational review.
No silent message accessAdministrative authority never becomes permission to read a private circle a manager has not joined.
