Overview
Open-Source Privacy Tools is a project dedicated to building and sharing privacy first software that remains free for everyone. This initiative is guided by the belief that privacy should be a standard, not a privilege. By supporting the project, you help sustain core development, keep critical tools accessible, and empower communities around the world to protect their data without barriers. Our work centers on transparent, community driven progress and a clear path to keep essential tools free and open.
With your backing, the Open-Source Privacy Tools project can advance features that respect user agency, reduce data exposure, and simplify everyday privacy tasks. We focus on practical, well documented software that people can trust and customize. Your support directly fuels thoughtful engineering, robust security practices, and ongoing maintenance so anyone can rely on these tools without paying a premium.

How Donations Are Used
Open-Source Privacy Tools relies on the generosity of backers to sustain a healthy, long term project. Donations are allocated to concrete areas that expand access and improve security. We publish regular updates detailing how funds are invested so contributors can see the path from donation to impact.
Key allocations include development work that adds new features and hardens code, security reviews and third party audits, hosting costs to ensure uptime, and outreach initiatives that broaden adoption in non English speaking communities. We also allocate resources for accessibility improvements and documentation so new contributors can participate and learn quickly. This structure keeps the project accountable and focused on measurable progress.
Community Voices
Open-Source Privacy Tools thrives on feedback from users and contributors who care about privacy as a shared public good. One community member shared, “Open-Source Privacy Tools gives me control over my digital footprint without locking me in.”
“The project demonstrates clear, practical progress while honoring user privacy and open collaboration.”
Transparency And Trust
We believe trust comes from openness. Open-Source Privacy Tools maintains public, accessible records of development activity, funding, and governance decisions. Our automated metrics and contribution logs are designed to be navigable by anyone interested in how the project grows. By documenting milestones and challenges alike, we aim to build confidence that the project remains aligned with its mission to keep essential privacy tools free and transparent.
