In September 2021, every active contributor unanimously agreed to move from PrivacyTools to work on another site: Privacy Guides. This decision was made because PrivacyTools’ founder and controller of the domain name had disappeared for an extended period of time and could not be contacted.
If you want to learn more about the move, please read our FAQ.
