# Community Code of Conduct
|
||||
|
||||
**We pledge** to make our community a harassment-free experience for everyone.
|
||||
|
||||
**We strive** to create a positive environment, using welcoming and inclusive language, and being respectful of the viewpoints of others.
|
||||
|
||||
**We do not allow** inappropriate or otherwise unacceptable behavior, such as sexualized language, trolling and insulting comments, or otherwise promoting intolerance or harassment.
|
||||
|
||||
## Community Standards
|
||||
|
||||
What we expect from members of our communities:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Do not spread misinformation**
|
||||
|
||||
We are creating an evidence-based educational community around information privacy and security, not an information home for conspiracy theories. For example, when making a claim that a certain piece of software is malicious or that certain telemetry data is privacy invasive, explain in detail what is collected and how it collected. Claims of this nature must be backed by technical evidence.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Do not abuse our willingness to help**
|
||||
|
||||
Our community members are not free tech support. We are happy to help with specific steps for your privacy journey, if you are willing to put in effort. We are not obligated to answer endless, repetitive questions about general computer problems solvable with a simple internet search. **Do not** become a [help vampire](https://slash7.com/2006/12/22/vampires).
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Behave in a positive and constructive manner**
|
||||
|
||||
Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our community include:
|
||||
|
||||
- Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
|
||||
- Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward others.
|
||||
- Focusing on what is best not just for us as overseers, but for the overall community.
|
||||
- Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback within our community while growing and improving.
|
||||
- Operating with a communal mindset at all times.
|
||||
|
||||
## Unacceptable Behavior
|
||||
|
||||
The following behaviors are considered harassment and are unacceptable within our community:
|
||||
|
||||
- Any other conduct which would reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting.
|
||||
- Public and/or private harassment of any kind.
|
||||
- Publishing others' private information, such as a physical address and/or an email address, without their explicit permission.
|
||||
- The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or advances of any kind.
|
||||
- Trolling, insulting and/or derogatory comments, including personal or political attacks.
|
||||
|
||||
## Scope
|
||||
|
||||
Our Code of Conduct applies within all project spaces, as well as when an individual is representing the Privacy Guides project in other communities.
|
||||
|
||||
We are responsible for clarifying the standards of our community and have the right to remove or alter the comments of those participating within our community, as necessary and at our discretion.
|
||||
|
||||
## Contact
|
||||
|
||||
If you observe a problem on a platform like Matrix or Reddit, please contact our moderators on that platform via chat, direct message, or any designated "Modmail" system.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a problem elsewhere, or a problem that our community moderators are unable to resolve, reach out to `jonah@privacyguides.org` and/or `dngray@privacyguides.org`.
|
||||
|
||||
All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of reporters for all incidents.

Privacy Guides is built by volunteers and staff members around the world. All changes to our recommendations and resources are reviewed by at least two [trusted](https://discuss.privacyguides.net/u?group=team&order=solutions&period=all) individuals, and we work diligently to ensure our content is updated as quickly as possible to adapt to the ever-changing cybersecurity threat landscape.
|
||||
|

In addition to our core team, [many other people](about/contributors.md) have made contributions to the project. You can too! We're open source on GitHub, and accepting translation suggestions on [Crowdin](https://crowdin.com/project/privacyguides).

## :material-check-decagram: Social Media
|
||||
|
||||
We have a general policy of avoiding links to centralized social media profiles and other websites outside our control. This means that in places like our website footer and other areas, we only link to platforms we fully control, such as our Mastodon and PeerTube accounts or Matrix channels.
|
||||
|
||||
However, Privacy Guides *does* have social media accounts on a wide variety of platforms, in the hope of reaching new users who aren't yet familiar with our content. We try to make this a "one-way street" where those accounts link to privacyguides.org, and not the other way around. However, this creates some confusion about which accounts are actually run by the Privacy Guides team. For reference, we will list all of our accounts here:

## :material-history: History
|
||||
|
||||
Privacy Guides was launched in September 2021 as a continuation of the [defunct](about/privacytools.md) "PrivacyTools" open-source educational project. We recognized the importance of independent, criteria-focused product recommendations and general knowledge in the privacy space, which is why we needed to preserve the work that had been created by so many contributors since 2015 and make sure that information had a stable home on the web indefinitely.
|
||||
|
||||
In 2022, we completed the transition of our main website framework from Jekyll to MkDocs, using the `mkdocs-material` documentation software. This change made open-source contributions to our site significantly easier for outsiders, because instead of needing to know complicated syntax to write posts effectively, contributing is now as easy as writing a standard Markdown document.
|
||||
|
||||
We additionally launched our new discussion forum at [discuss.privacyguides.net](https://discuss.privacyguides.net) as a community platform to share ideas and ask questions about our mission. This augments our existing community on Matrix, and replaced our previous GitHub Discussions platform, decreasing our reliance on proprietary discussion platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
In 2023, we launched international translations of our website in [French](https://www.privacyguides.org/fr), [Hebrew](https://www.privacyguides.org/he), [Dutch](https://www.privacyguides.org/nl), and more languages, made possible by our excellent translation team on [Crowdin](https://crowdin.com/project/privacyguides).
|
||||
|
||||
In 2024, we successfully fundraised to hire several full-time staff members, Em, Jordan, and Kevin; to help with content creation, community management, and video production. This has allowed us to expand our reach and provide more frequent updates to our audience.
|
||||
|
||||
In 2025, we launched our [newsroom](https://www.privacyguides.org/news), providing timely articles on the latest developments in privacy and security. We also hired Nate as a Digital Content Producer to bring more consistency to our educational video content.
|
||||
|
||||
We plan to continue carrying forward our mission of outreach and education, and finding ways to more clearly highlight the dangers of a lack of privacy awareness in the modern digital age, and the prevalence and harms of security breaches across the technology industry.

## Why should I care?
|
||||
|
||||
> “I have nothing to hide. Why should I care about my privacy?”
|
||||
|
||||
Much like the right to interracial marriage, woman's suffrage, freedom of speech, and many others, our right to privacy hasn't always been upheld. In several dictatorships, it still isn't. Generations before ours fought for our right to privacy. ==Privacy is a human right, inherent to all of us,== that we are entitled to (without discrimination).
|
||||
|
||||
You shouldn't confuse privacy with secrecy. We know what happens in the bathroom, but you still close the door. That's because you want privacy, not secrecy. **Everyone** has something to protect. Privacy is something that makes us human.

## What should I do?
|
||||
|
||||
> First, you need to make a plan
|
||||
|
||||
Trying to protect all your data from everyone all the time is impractical, expensive, and exhausting. But don't worry! Security is a process, and, by thinking ahead, you can put together a plan that's right for you. Security isn't just about the *privacy tools* you use or the software you download. Rather, it begins by understanding the unique threats you face, and how you can mitigate them.
|
||||
|
||||
==This process of identifying threats and defining countermeasures is called **threat modeling**==, and it forms the basis of every good security and privacy plan.

## About Privacy Guides
|
||||
|
||||
{ align=right loading=lazy }
|
||||
|
||||
Established in 2021 due to the difficulty of finding unbiased reviewers in the VPN and privacy space, **Privacy Guides** is the most popular, trustworthy, non-profit website that provides information about protecting your *personal* data security and privacy. Our crowdsourced recommendations and reviews of **privacy tools** and our community dedicated to helping others set us apart from other blogs and content creators. The team behind this project has been researching privacy and security in the open-source space for over 5 years, originally with a now-defunct web resource that eventually became the *Privacy Guides* millions of readers trust.
|
||||
|
||||
*Our website is free of advertisements and not affiliated with any of the listed providers.*
|
||||
|
||||
As seen in **WIRED**, **Tweakers.net**, **The New York Times**, and many other publications as a reliable source for privacy and security knowledge.

## What are privacy tools?
|
||||
|
||||
We recommend a wide variety of **privacy tools** (a.k.a. *privacy apps*, *privacy utilities*, *privacy software*) spanning software and hardware that you can use to improve your privacy. Many of the tools we recommend are completely free to use and open-source software, while some are commercial services available for purchase. Switching from mainstream data-hungry software like Google Chrome and Windows to privacy-focused tools like [Brave](desktop-browsers.md#brave) and [Linux](desktop.md) can go a long way towards controlling the information you share with companies and others.

## Why does privacy matter?
|
||||
|
||||
In the modern age of digital data exploitation, your privacy has never been more critical, yet many believe it is already a lost cause. It is not. ==Your privacy is up for grabs, and you need to care about it.== Privacy is about power, and it is so important that this power ends up in the right hands.
|
||||
|
||||
Many people get the concepts of privacy, security, and anonymity confused. You'll see people criticize various products as "not private" when really they mean it doesn't provide anonymity, for example. On this website, we cover all three of these topics, but it is important you understand the difference between them, and when each one comes into play.

|
||||
|

**Self-hosting** software and services can be a way to achieve a higher level of privacy through digital sovereignty, particularly independence from cloud servers controlled by product developers or vendors. By self-hosting, we mean hosting applications and data on your own hardware.
|
||||
|
||||
Self-hosting your own solutions requires advanced technical knowledge and a deep understanding of the associated risks. By becoming the host for yourself and possibly others, you take on responsibilities you might not otherwise have. Self-hosting privacy software improperly can leave you worse off than using e.g. an end-to-end encrypted service provider, so it is best avoided if you are not already comfortable doing so.

|

|

**Vaultwarden** is an alternative implementation of [Bitwarden](../passwords.md#bitwarden)'s sync server written in Rust and compatible with official Bitwarden clients, perfect for self-hosted deployment where running the resource-heavy, [official service](https://github.com/bitwarden/server) might not be ideal.

## :material-account-supervisor-circle-outline: Social Networks
|
||||
|
||||
Self-hosting your own instance of a social network software can help circumvent potential [censorship on a server level](../social-networks.md#censorship-resistance) by a public server's administrator or admin team.
|
||||
|
||||
### Mastodon
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="admonition recommendation" markdown>
|
||||
|
||||
{ align=right }
|
||||
|
||||
**Mastodon** is a social network based on open web protocols and free, open-source software. It uses the decentralized **:simple-activitypub: ActivityPub** protocol.
|
||||
|
||||
[:octicons-home-16:](https://joinmastodon.org){ .card-link title="Homepage" }
|
||||
[:octicons-info-16:](https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/prerequisites){ .card-link title="Admin Documentation" }
|
||||
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
Mastodon [integrates with the Tor network](https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/optional/tor) for more extreme scenarios where even your underlying hosting provider is subject to censorship, but this may limit who can access your content to only other servers which integrate with Tor (like most other hidden services).
|
||||
|
||||
Mastodon benefits greatly from a large and active self-hosting community, and its administration is comprehensively documented. While many other ActivityPub platforms can require extensive technical knowledge to run and troubleshoot, Mastodon has very stable and tested releases, and it can generally be run securely without issue by anyone who can use the Linux command line and follow step-by-step instructions.

||||
|
||||
### Element

**Element** is the flagship client for the **:simple-matrix: Matrix** protocol, an open standard that enables decentralized communication by way of federated chat rooms.

## :material-flip-to-front: Frontends
|
||||
|
||||
Self-hosting your own instance of a web-based frontend can help you circumvent rate limits that you may encounter on high-traffic, public instances. It is important that you have other people using your instance as well in order for you to blend in. You should be careful with where and how you are hosting, as other peoples' usage will be linked to your hosting.

Advanced system administrators may consider setting up their own **email server**. Mail servers require attention and continuous maintenance in order to keep things secure and mail delivery reliable. In addition to the "all-in-one" solutions below, we've picked out a few articles that cover a more manual approach:

|
||||
|
||||
**Stalwart** is a newer mail server written in Rust which supports JMAP in addition to the standard IMAP, POP3, and SMTP. It has a wide variety of configuration options, but also defaults to very reasonable settings in terms of both security and features, making it easy to use immediately. It has web-based administration with TOTP 2FA support and allows you to enter your public PGP key to encrypt **all** incoming messages.

|

Stalwart's [PGP implementation](https://stalw.art/docs/encryption/overview) is unique among our self-hosted recommendations and allows you to operate your own mail server with encrypted message storage, lessening the risk of unauthorized access to your emails. If you additionally configure Web Key Directory (WKD) on your domain, and if you use an email client which supports PGP and WKD for outgoing mail (like Thunderbird), then this is the easiest way to get self-hosted E2EE compatibility with all [Proton Mail](../email.md#proton-mail) users.
|
||||
|
||||
Stalwart does **not** have an integrated webmail, so you will need to use it with a [dedicated email client](../email-clients.md) or find an open-source webmail to self-host, like Nextcloud's Mail app.
|
||||
|
||||
We use Stalwart for our own internal email at *Privacy Guides*.

|

|

We don't recommend using the [E2EE App](https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/end_to_end_encryption) for Nextcloud as it may lead to data loss; it is highly experimental and not production quality. For this reason, we don't recommend third-party Nextcloud providers.
