Privact
Guardians of Your Digital Self
Welcome to Privact,
the initiative that empowers you to take control of your digital self. Together, we’re building a comprehensive yet open ecosystem where your data is yours alone – allowing you to unlock its full potential for personal benefit and societal progress.
Our mission is to achieve digital privacy for you and foster progress for all.
In today’s world, your data defines your digital self. Yet large corporations are constantly tracking and profiling you – taking away your control over your digital self. This system is known as surveillance capitalism. It benefits only a few, but threatens not only your privacy, but the very foundations of our society.
Our vision is a free world where you are in control of your digital self – and it makes you smile.
