Online privacy has become an important topic for me recently. Protecting data, my own and my clients', is a value I hold dear.
Some time ago, I decided to completely abandon or at least significantly limit most of the big players who collect data on the Internet, either to create targeted advertising or to provide data to other entities. I am gradually implementing this decision.
This site is built on the Joomla content management system. It uses only the necessary cookies for its operation, does not collect data about visitors, does not display advertising, nor is there any external service integrated into it that would serve a similar purpose.
Protection against spam and bots is handled by hCaptcha. Its privacy policy and terms and conditions apply. The service provider, Intuition Machines, guarantees a privacy-focused solution for users. hCaptcha is the only service that the site integrates directly at this time. All other components are local (part of the site code itself) and completely under my control.
I am aware that tools that track people's internet activity, make browser fingerprints and perform advanced aggregation calculations on the data cannot be completely escaped. However, there is no reason to provide data about yourself for free. I also use some tools and communication channels where this cannot be avoided, such as social networks. However, I handle information there modestly.
I use Box to share documents and other resources. The service guarantees zero-trust security. The data is always end-to-end encrypted and not even the cloud storage provider itself has access to it. Box also provides an interface to Office 365 and Google, so I can easily share data in the way the client wants. The way data is transferred and shared is always determined by the client.
My cell phone uses the GrapheneOS operating system. This system runs apps in sandboxes. This isolates individual services from each other and prevents them from accessing data from other applications unless they are explicitly allowed to do so.
