Frequently Asked Questions
How do you choose which privacy tools to recommend?
▼
We personally test every tool we recommend, analyzing their privacy policies, encryption standards, logging practices, and real-world performance. We also consider community feedback and expert reviews. Our recommendations are never influenced by affiliate commission rates.
Are your reviews biased because of affiliate links?
▼
No. We maintain strict editorial independence. Some of our top recommendations (like ProtonVPN and Signal) have low or no affiliate commissions. We highlight both pros and cons for every tool, including our affiliate partners. Commission rates don't influence our rankings.
Can you help me choose the right privacy tools for my situation?

Absolutely! Start with our
privacy assessment to understand your risk level, then use our
setup wizard for personalized recommendations. For specific questions, feel free to contact us using the form above.
How do you keep my contact information private?
▼
We practice what we preach. Your contact information is encrypted in transit and at rest. We never share, sell, or use your information for marketing. Email addresses are only used to respond to your inquiry and are deleted after our conversation ends unless you explicitly subscribe to updates.
Do you accept guest posts or sponsored content?
▼
We're very selective about guest content. We don't accept sponsored posts or paid reviews. If you have expertise in privacy/security and want to contribute educational content, contact us at business@privacyfirst.me with your background and content ideas.
How quickly do you respond to messages?
▼
We typically respond within 24-48 hours. Privacy questions and technical issues get priority. For urgent privacy needs, check our
guides first, especially our guide on
disappearing online.
