Privacy Heroes

What is Privacy Heroes?

The alliance of privacy-focused online services is on a mission to defend Internet users from surveillance, hacking, and censorship. In today's digital landscape, user privacy has become increasingly under threat, with recurring news of data breaches, privacy scandals, and unwarranted government surveillance. At the heart of these issues are tech companies that profit from mining private information about user behaviors and beliefs, exploiting and exposing individuals across a wide range of online services, from search engines and browsers to cloud storage and social media. In response, this alliance of programmers, engineers, scientists, and designers has come together to make the Internet a safer place for conducting business, browsing the web, and storing sensitive data. Each service within the alliance has a specific role to play in achieving this goal. Brave and DuckDuckGo help users browse and search the Internet without being tracked by advertisers, Tresorit provides secure cloud storage for files and documents, Threema and ProtonMail offer private messaging and email services, and ProtonVPN encrypts users' internet connections to block eavesdropping.
