Why should I care?P

"I have nothing to hide. Why should I care about my privacy?"P

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.

Common Internet Threats

What should I do?P

First, you need to make a planP

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 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.

It's important for a website like Privacy Guides to always stay
up-to-date. We need our audience to keep an eye on software updates
for the applications listed on our site and follow recent news about
providers that we recommend. It's hard to keep up with the fast pace
of the internet, but we try our best. If you spot an error, think a
provider should not be listed, notice a qualified provider is
missing, believe a browser plugin is no longer the best choice, or
uncover any other issue, please let us know.
