Community rules

R1: Stay On Topic

This is a privacy sub, not a general security sub.
The main focus includes topics such as the collection, storage, use, sharing, and protection of personal information in digital and online contexts.
Privacy is about an individual's control over their data, while security is about the protection of that data. While these two concepts do have some overlap, the emphasis here is privacy.
This sub is not a political battleground. Privacy is a nonpartisan matter.

R2. Not Tech Support

This is not a tech support sub. These posts may be removed.
We can't help with general app issues, account problems, or how to regain access to an account if you've forgotten your password or didn't set up recovery. For those kinds of specific product or service issues, please head to their dedicated subreddits or official support channels.
Topics like being hacked, having your accounts hijacked, or device security breaches are primarily security concerns, not privacy.
See Rule 1.

R3: No Self-Promotion Or Other Promotional Content

Do not attempt to use this forum to advertise or market products, services, websites, social media accounts, or any other venture. Includes but not limited to:
- E-begging, GoFundMe, or crowdfunding initiatives.
- Affiliate marketing, referral codes or links.
- Promotion of content creators: YouTubers, TikTokers, vloggers, bloggers, podcasters, etc.
- Promotion of blog sites or other social media platforms.
Violating this rule can result in an immediate ban without warning.

R4: Fueling Conspiracy Thinking Isn’t Healthy

Please don't fuel conspiracy theories or spread Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) here.
There's a fine line between being privacy-conscious and veering into excessive paranoia and antisocial behavior. The distinction often lies in the presence of rationality, evidence, and the impact on daily functioning.
This also applies to speculating on questions that can't realistically be answered or proven. Let's keep discussions grounded in verifiable information.

R5: Use Original, Credible Source And DO NOT Editorialise The Title

Refrain from editorializing titles; use the original title of the article you are posting. Any thoughts, feelings, or questions belong in the comments section.
Use credible sources
Avoid cherry picking political-leaning content
When news breaks, some blog sites will try hijacking the story and rewording the original article for clicks. Boo! Also, they do a worse job. Use the original source.
Blogs and other rando media portal-type sites will be blacklisted, and you may be banned.

R6: No Closed-Source Or Beta Software

Promotion of closed source privacy software is not welcome in /c/privacy. It’s not easily verified or audited. Thus, your privacy and security is at greater risk.

R7: No Discussion Of Illegal Or Harmful Activities.

Do not ask for or provide advice related to activities that are likely illegal or harmful in most jurisdictions, or that promote unlawful disruption. Examples include:
- Sharing or soliciting illegal content
- Encouraging or providing instructions for harmful acts like doxxing, harassment, hacking, or any other form of malicious behavior.
- Discussion of illegal marketplaces or services.
Do not glorify violence by suggesting things like vandalism, destruction, murder, genocide, etc

R8: Be Civil And Respectful. Don't Promote Hate

Focus on the ideas and information being presented, maintaining a respectful and constructive tone even when disagreeing. Remember that the goal is productive discussion.
Do not engage in personal attacks, insults, or ad hominem arguments.
No baiting, trolling, sealioning, or harassment
No hate speech. We have zero tolerance for bigotry, racism, any-phobic, sexist, ableist, etc.
Instead of responding to uncivil comments with your own incivility, please use the report button.

R9: Moderator Discretion

Moderators have the sole discretion to remove any content that is deemed not a fit for this community, even if it doesn't explicitly violate another rule.
This includes content we deem unhelpful, low-effort, or disruptive.
