Overview

This initiative, Support Creators to Keep Their Data Under Their Control, is built around a simple, enduring conviction: creators should decide how their data is stored, shared, and monetized. In a world where data flows across platforms and services, ownership and governance matter as much as creativity. Our work concentrates on building practical tools, clear policies, and a supportive community that keeps data sovereignty front and center. By funding open-source modules, documentation, and user education, we aim to shift the balance toward creators who shape their own digital futures.

Transparent processes and reliable infrastructure are the foundation of this effort. Donations sustain ongoing development, governance, and access—so that independent creators, researchers, and advocates can rely on consistent, privacy-preserving resources. This page outlines how your support translates into real progress, and how we measure that progress over time.

Why Your Support Matters

This project, Support Creators to Keep Their Data Under Their Control, centers privacy, ownership, and open collaboration. Your contribution helps us invest in privacy-preserving tooling, clear data ownership education, and robust community governance. It also supports multilingual resources so creators around the world can participate on equal footing. By fostering an environment where data practices are visible and accountable, we empower creators to make informed decisions about their own work.

Community-driven development requires steady, predictable funding. Donations enable us to maintain core services, respond to inquiries, and iterate on features that directly address the needs of creators who want transparency without sacrificing usability. With your support, we can extend outreach, run periodic audits, and iterate on privacy controls that respect diverse workflows and licensing models.
