Giving you the tools and information you need to restore your privacy, secure your devices, and stay safe online.

Privacy Alert!

At this very moment you are being tracked, monitored, and recorded by various entities around the world. Private companies are gathering as much of your data as possible to hit you with targeted ads and influence your purchasing decisions (behavioral modification). Your data is likely being shared and sold to ad networks and data brokers without you even knowing about it. Spy agencies around the world are also bulk-collecting your private data for various purposes.

ISP Spying: Throughout most of the world, internet service providers (ISPs) are tracking and recording the browsing history of their customers. Your ISP can see every website you visit if you aren’t using a good VPN service. In the United States, Canada, Australia, the UK, and much of Europe, browsing data is collected automatically and passed on to various third parties. Since March of 2017, US internet providers can also collect and sell the private data of their users’ online habits.

Fortunately, there are effective solutions to these problems that you can begin implementing right now without too much effort. Explore the free resources and guides on this site to get started.
