Indigo Privacy exists to make the fundamentals of personal privacy accessible to everyone — through clear writing, honest tools, and free resources.
Most privacy advice online falls into two camps: overly technical guides written for security researchers, or paid services that upsell you on products you don't need. There's very little in between — honest, plain-English guidance for regular people who simply want to protect themselves.
That's the gap Indigo Privacy fills. We publish a free weekly newsletter covering data privacy news, practical how-to guides, and honest breakdowns of the tools that actually help — without affiliate deals or hidden agendas.
Most people give up. The brokers count on that.
Every issue of Indigo Privacy is built around three pillars:
We track the data breaches, legislation, and corporate decisions that affect your personal information — and translate them into plain language.
Step-by-step walkthroughs for securing your devices, locking down your accounts, removing your data from broker sites, and more.
We review VPNs, password managers, secure browsers, and privacy tools — and tell you what actually works and allow you to decide which one to use.
Indigo Privacy is a privacy education platform. The newsletter — three issues per week — is the core: clear explanations of how data collection works, honest reviews of tools that actually help, and step-by-step removal guides you can act on this weekend.
The goal isn't to scare you into action. It's to give you enough understanding that the actions make sense — and actually stick.
✓ Newsletter — privacy stories, tool reviews, and walk-throughs, 3× per week

Privacy protection has historically been sold as a premium service — something you pay a company to handle for you, with ongoing subscriptions and opaque processes. That model works for some people. But it also means most people never start at all, because the price feels like a barrier.
The newsletter and the free guides exist because the basic information — which sites to opt out of, how to do it, why it matters — should be available to anyone who wants it. Not behind a paywall.
✓ No affiliate deals or paid placements
✓ No vendor sponsorships that influence our editorial
✓ No alarmist content designed to sell you something
