About Us: Our Mission for Privacy & Open Source
cp-privacytools.org is an expert team that views privacy and professional cyber security as a universal basic right. We offer an honest alternative to complicated or opaque tools through a clear focus on Open Source and local data processing.
Our Expertise: Rooted in the Community
Our work is based on years of commitment within leading software development bodies:
- 📂 Open Source Initiative (OSI): We are committed to the Open Source Definition for independently verifiable code.
- 🤝 Software in the Public Interest (SPI): Supporting free software as a non-profit good.
- 🖋️ WordPress Community: Active engagement for the security of the open-source ecosystem.
- 🌐 W3C Solid Community Group: Working on decentralized webs under the leadership of Sir Tim Berners-Lee.
These principles flow directly into tools like the Password Generator and the Browser Test.
Philosophy: Privacy by Design & Default
Our “zero-data approach” means: The best protection for your data is not to collect it at all.
- Local Processing: We utilize the processing power of your browser instead of third-party servers.
- Security in RAM: When you remove metadata from images, it happens exclusively in your local RAM.
- Cryptographic Superiority: Our Password Generator uses the Web Crypto API—we have no technical access to your passwords.
Why We Defend Open Source
We reject “Security by Obscurity,” as true security must withstand the critical gaze of experts. As an Open Source project on GitHub, we enable:
- Audits: Independent verification of our security promises.
- Improvements: Continuous adaptation to new cyber security threats.
- Transparency: Exclusion of hidden trackers or backdoors.
Our Vision for the Digital Future
We are expanding pc-privacytools.org into a comprehensive suite for digital self-protection. Planned modules include anonymous detection of data leaks via k-anonymity and methods to effectively hide your IP address.
Our Ad-Free Promise
We reject advertising and affiliate tracking to ensure your privacy is never monetized. Our work is sustained solely by passion and the community.
“Real digital freedom begins where the user regains control over their own data.”
