Why we do it and what we want to achieve

Every internet user is forced to use centralized services sacrificing privacy and personal freedoms:
- Accepts incomprehensible licenses;
- Endures ads;
- Gives his data to unknown persons;
- End up in a "recommendation bubble";
- Subject to censorship, blocking.
We want digital independence and privacy for our data.
As a result, users:
- Accept incomprehensible license agreements;
- Endure ads;
- Hand over their data to unknown entities;
- Become trapped in a "recommendation bubble";
- Are subjected to censorship and blocking.
When we use centralized services, such as popular social networks, we place our trust in the administrators of these platforms. They store our conversations, our photos, and even our most important secrets shared in chats with loved ones. We allow them to analyze our interests and communications to deliver targeted advertising. Often, the data collected leaks into the public domain due to a company breach or an untrustworthy employee. We become dependent on centralized solutions, which can permanently ban your account without explanation due to a simple spam filter failure, along with all the data accumulated over the years.
**We want digital independence and privacy for our data.**
**Our mission is to offer an alternative. Your services - your rules**:
- No license agreements, advertising, surveillance, telemetry, bans and censorship;
- Your data is stored on your server and belongs only to you.
## What do we need it for?
- No license agreements, advertisements, surveillance, telemetry, bans, or censorship;
- Your data is stored on your server and belongs solely to you.
Our [team]({{< ref "team.md" >}}) consists of programmers and system administrators. We are from different countries and many of us have never met in person. Perhaps we are romantics. Don Quixotes of the free Internet. It is important for us not only to do the work, but to know the result - the contribution to a positive change in people's attitudes to privacy and independence.
## Why do we need this?
We hope to find stable financial support in the form of free software development funds in the near future, so as not to burden the project founder's budget.
Our [team]({{< ref "team.md" >}}) consists of programmers and system administrators from various countries. Perhaps we are romantics, the Don Quixotes of the free internet. It is important for us not only to complete the work but also to understand its impact — contributing to a positive change in people's attitudes toward privacy and independence.
The primary motivation behind SelfPrivacy, guiding our team, is to make internet usage a bit more comfortable, a bit simpler, and — most importantly — a bit more private.
Privacy is an inherent human right that allows us to feel like subjects, independent individuals. We are creating a public project to draw inspiration for new features and identify errors not through the efforts of a few individuals but by leveraging the resources of an unlimited audience. After all, why does a musician compose melodies, and an artist create paintings? Moreover, developing a free, open solution capable of elevating users to a new level of privacy is a matter of honor. And samurai do not have a goal — they only have a path.
