What is your situation?
Pick the profile closest to you — you get a concrete checklist tailored to your needs.
the normal user
You use your phone, laptop, and internet daily. You're not an activist or journalist, but you don't want companies knowing everything about you. What are your real risks and what do you do about them?
privacy conscious
You want to move away from Google and Big Tech. Not because you have something to hide, but because your data belongs to you. How do you start de-Googling without throwing everything overboard?
student or employee
You use work or study equipment alongside personal devices. How do you protect yourself and your employer, and how do you keep work and personal life separate?
small business owner
As a freelancer or small business owner, you're responsible for client data, invoices, and business continuity. What are your obligations and how do you protect yourself?
journalist or activist
You work with sensitive sources, participate in political or social activism, or share information that powerful parties dislike. How do you protect yourself and your sources?
high risk and full OpSec
You operate in an environment where a mistake has serious consequences. Full operational security, compartmentalisation, and minimal digital footprint.

What you'll find here
Android is being locked down — September 2026
Google is requiring all apps to be registered by verified developers. F-Droid and sideloading will be blocked on certified devices. GrapheneOS is not a certified device — these rules don't apply.
Behaviour first, gear second
Most privacy gains come from behaviour, not hardware. PrivacyGear.nl says this honestly — even when it means you don't need to buy anything.
