01 — What's going on

But visible impact doesn't automatically create financial sustainability. So we're asking the people and organisations who believe this work should exist to fund what comes next.

02 — Why privacy matters

Two adults converse at a cafe table in front of paper silhouettes, with a green line enclosing the space between them.
01/08Talk.Who you speak to, and what you say, stays between you.
A green paper opening interrupts a fingerprint made of small photographs.
02/08Browse.Read, search and learn without being profiled.
A hand opens a green-lined compartment in a layered phone, with a green collage fragment in the corner.
03/08Own your device.Your phone should work for you — not report on you.
A hand holds a translucent card covered with paper, leaving green geometric fields visible on the right.
04/08Prove, don't reveal.Show what's needed. Nothing more.
Hands exchange banknotes over a food stall.
05/08Pay.Money without a permanent public record of your life.
A patient and clinician sit beside a closed dark folder with a green folded edge.
06/08Heal.Health stays between you and the people you trust.
Two people pass a green sheet across a table; torn paper layers cover their faces.
07/08Report.Protected sources keep journalism — and democracy — alive.
A small server on a wooden desk connects to a network switch by a green cable, with a laptop beside it.
08/08Build.Infrastructure people can run, audit and own themselves.

Without privacy, there's no democracy.

Privacy tech only protects people when someone builds it, teaches it and defends it. That's what we do — with you.

Why people support us

The connections made at their events always help to really cut through the noise and meet the right people to make progress on making privacy the default as we evolve the Web ecosystem.

04 — The plan

Three hands assemble transparent pieces around a green circular joint.

A broader base of supporters lets us decide by the mission, not by the priorities of a handful of sponsors. The more distributed our funding, the more independent our work.

We've spent three years proving this ecosystem should exist. Now we're building the foundation that lets it exist independently.
