Privacy knowledge without an agenda

Digital threats are growing — and so is the need for practical, accessible information on how to protect yourself. PrivacyGear.nl brings privacy knowledge together for Dutch-speaking users: no advertisers, no sponsored recommendations, no fluff.

Don't be the low-hanging fruit

You don't need perfect security. Attackers look for the easiest target — if you're slightly harder than the next person, they move on. One step further is enough to get out of the danger zone.

If someone stops using "welcome123" and installs a password manager — that's already a big win. If a small business owner secures their router and enables two-factor authentication — that already makes a real difference. And if a journalist decides to switch to GrapheneOS — there's a guide covering it from start to finish.

Every situation deserves an honest answer tailored to it. No more than necessary, no less than safe.

What you'll find here

  • Practical guides — from password managers to GrapheneOS
  • Threat profiles — what's relevant for your situation?
  • Reviews — honest assessments of privacy tools and hardware
  • Resources — links to organisations and channels worth following

No hidden agenda

No advertisers, no tracking, no required accounts. The guides are free and will stay free. Written honestly about what works and what doesn't — without advertisers or sponsored content influencing that.

Language

All content is available in Dutch and English. Dutch-language privacy content is scarce — PrivacyGear.nl aims to change that.
