Privacy isn't a feature.
Privacy isn't a feature.
It's the starting point.
Your digital life can reveal a lot about you. Wisp is built around the idea that useful technology should not require giving up control of your personal information.
What privacy means at Wisp
Why Wisp is private — data, encryption and recovery explained →
Protect sensitive data
Sensitive backups and synchronization should use strong protection appropriate to the information being handled.
No advertising profiles
Wisp is not being designed around building behavioral profiles for targeted advertising.
Portable data
Privacy also means control. Your information should be exportable and recoverable instead of locking you in.
Privacy without isolation.
Private software should still be beautiful and useful.
The goal isn't to sacrifice modern features for privacy. Wisp explores how we can build both.
