# About this list
|
||||
This list is intended to gather all the projects that help users to safeguard their privacy and keep their data private in all digital fields and perspectives.
|
||||
|
||||
This list may contain some errors and some services may be delisted in the future after discussion. Before going for a service/app make your own investigation, take time to explore and don't trust anybody. This list is just an index of privacy-friendly apps and services but it is not a guarantee that some issues could be discovered in the future for a particular service/app.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to **add** a service, just fork this project and create a PR with you additions. I will review the new services you listed and merge it if they are fine, if there are any kind of doubts we will discuss them on the PR comment section. If you don't want to make a fork+PR, open an issue and propose the service/services.
|
||||
|
||||
If you think or find that a listed service is **not respecting** users privacy, please open an issue and we will discuss about it, and if it is needed it will be delisted.

# Contributing Guide
|
||||
|
||||
## Requirements for a service to be listed:
|
||||
|
||||
- [x] Clear privacy-oriented / own your data policy.
|
||||
- [x] No user-tracking on project website. Only tracking listed under [Analytics](https://github.com/pluja/awesome-privacy#analytics) allowed.
|
||||
- [x] Open source code is very valuable since it allows you to trust in the project (you can review the code) and not just trust the words. But some service without Open Source code may be added if there is special trust from community and has a good history privacy-wise.
|
||||
|
||||
> Every project will need investigation. And of course all listings / additions / PRs and issues are open to discussion as I am human and I may make mistakes.
|
||||
|
||||
## Pull Requests
|
||||
|
||||
If you are familiar you can add a *section* or a *service* yourself via **pull request**. This is the better way.
