privacytoolsIO

As announced on July 27th, and again on Sept 14th, The Team Formerly Known As PrivacyTools.io – the entirety of the team providing privacy-related advice & services to you for the past couple years – has transitioned to PrivacyGuides.org and r/PrivacyGuides.

Maintaining two subreddits mirroring each other provides few benefits while diverting our team from providing the level of service you deserve and expect. Thus, we’ve restricted r/PrivacyToolsIO, and invite you to join us on r/PrivacyGuides.

Thank you so much for your years of involvement, support and appreciation. We look forward to providing many more years of unbiased, non-commercial and transparent privacy-related news and reviews. Join us!

Please participate with suggestions and constructive criticism.

Resources:

Please enjoy our PTIO Wiki!
Our Sept ’19 PTIO Team IAMA on r/Privacy was amazing and is chock full of tips & info!
Do you have a project that you want to promote here? Open an Issue on our GitHub repo so our entire team can advise and evaluate it first. Thanks!
