# Privacy Ratings

> Open, testable privacy ratings for the apps and services people use every day. 1727 apps and services in 135 categories, scored against public criteria. Every answer links to evidence. Hosted services are tested with Qualys SSL Labs, Mozilla HTTP Observatory and Internet.nl. Each rating shows jurisdiction (country, Five/Nine/Fourteen Eyes, EU/GDPR, CLOUD Act). Maintained on GitHub by the team behind Forward Email, which is also rated and carries a disclosure.

Every page has a Markdown version at the same URL plus `index.md`. The full data set is at https://privacyratings.com/api/ratings.json and in one text file at https://privacyratings.com/llms-full.txt. Content is CC BY-SA 4.0.

## Picks

- [uBlock Origin Lite (Ad and tracker blockers)](https://privacyratings.com/ad-blockers/ublock-origin-lite/index.md): For browsers that only allow Manifest V3 extensions, such as Chrome and Edge: uBlock Origin's filter lists with no data collection and no background process.
- [uBlock Origin (Ad and tracker blockers)](https://privacyratings.com/ad-blockers/ublock-origin/index.md): The most effective blocker available, with no data collection, no home server, no acceptable-ads deals and not even a donation page. Install it through the links on its GitHub page to avoid look-alike extensions.
- [Tauri (Cross-platform app frameworks)](https://privacyratings.com/app-frameworks/tauri/index.md): Small, fast apps for desktop and mobile from one web codebase, using the system web view instead of a bundled browser. A Rust core with a permission system, no telemetry, and a public independent audit. Pairs well with Svelte and TypeScript, as in the Forward Email apps (github.com/forwardemail/mail.forwardemail.net), which ship to Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS from one Tauri, Svelte and TypeScript codebase.
- [Mullvad Browser (Browsers)](https://privacyratings.com/browsers/mullvad-browser/index.md): Tor Browser's protections without the Tor network: fingerprinting resistance that makes users look alike, uBlock Origin built in, no telemetry, and fast security updates. Built by the Tor Project and Mullvad, free, and works with any VPN.
- [Ungoogled Chromium (Browsers)](https://privacyratings.com/browsers/ungoogled-chromium/index.md): The speed and site compatibility of Chromium without the constant connections to Google. Pair it with uBlock Origin for tracker blocking.
- [Comp AI (Compliance automation)](https://privacyratings.com/compliance-automation/comp-ai/index.md): Open-source compliance automation for SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA and GDPR, with evidence collection, policies and control tracking. Most of the code is AGPL-3.0, and it can be self-hosted, so compliance data does not have to live with a closed vendor.
- [Cloudflare DNS (DNS hosting)](https://privacyratings.com/dns-hosting/cloudflare-dns/index.md): Free on every plan, one of the fastest DNS networks, a complete API, and hardware security key login. DNSSEC is automatic when the domain is also registered with Cloudflare Registrar.
- [Cloudflare Registrar (Domain registrars)](https://privacyratings.com/domain-registrars/cloudflare-registrar/index.md): Registry cost with no markup on registration or renewal, free WHOIS redaction, security-key login, and automatic DNSSEC with Cloudflare DNS.
- [Documenso (Electronic signatures)](https://privacyratings.com/e-signatures/documenso/index.md): Open-source document signing, hosted or self-hosted, as a replacement for DocuSign. The core is AGPL-3.0, and self-hosted instances keep signed documents on your own server.
- [Betterbird (Email clients)](https://privacyratings.com/email-clients/betterbird/index.md): Open-source (MPL-2.0) fork of Thunderbird with telemetry reporting turned off and built-in OpenPGP and S/MIME. It connects directly to any IMAP, POP3 and SMTP provider and blocks remote content by default.
- [Forward Email (Email clients)](https://privacyratings.com/email-clients/forward-email/index.md): Source-available webmail, desktop and mobile client with built-in OpenPGP and no third-party analytics. It works only with Forward Email accounts, not other IMAP and SMTP providers.
- [Forward Email (Email providers)](https://privacyratings.com/email-providers/forward-email/index.md): The whole service is published on GitHub, server code included. Each mailbox is a separately encrypted SQLite file, IMAP, POP3, SMTP, CalDAV and CardDAV work with any app, and custom domains are included on low-cost plans.
- [Formbricks (Forms and surveys)](https://privacyratings.com/forms/formbricks/index.md): Open-source surveys and forms for links, websites and apps, as a replacement for Typeform, SurveyMonkey and Google Forms. Made by a company in Germany, with a hosted service or self-hosting with Docker.
- [Headscale (Mesh VPNs and private networks)](https://privacyratings.com/mesh-vpns/headscale/index.md): The open-source, self-hosted replacement for Tailscale's coordination server. The official Tailscale clients connect to it unchanged, so the whole network runs on your own server with no account at Tailscale.
- [Tailscale (Mesh VPNs and private networks)](https://privacyratings.com/mesh-vpns/tailscale/index.md): A WireGuard mesh for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS, with NAT traversal and DERP relays when a direct connection fails. Keys are created on each device, so the coordination server and relays never see traffic. The clients are open source under BSD-3-Clause, ACLs and SSO come built in, and the open-source Headscale server can replace the hosted coordination server for full self-hosting.
- [GrapheneOS (Mobile operating systems)](https://privacyratings.com/mobile-operating-systems/grapheneos/index.md): Hardened Android for Pixel phones with no Google services by default, sandboxed Google Play only if you choose it, and no analytics or telemetry. Open source and funded by donations.

- [Browserpass (Password managers)](https://privacyratings.com/password-managers/browserpass/index.md): For people who want no password company at all. Every password is a GPG-encrypted file in a folder you control, synced with Git if you like, and Browserpass fills it into the browser.
- [Cal.com (Scheduling)](https://privacyratings.com/scheduling/cal-com/index.md): Booking pages, team round-robin, routing forms and workflows with calendar and video integrations, in a hosted service. The MIT-licensed Cal.diy edition covers self-hosting on your own server.
- [DuckDuckGo (Search engines)](https://privacyratings.com/search-engines/duckduckgo/index.md): Results good enough to replace Google for most searches, no search history, no profile-based ads, and no account needed. Apps and browser extensions are open source.
- [Cure53 (Security audit firms)](https://privacyratings.com/security-audit-firms/cure53/index.md): Publishes a large public library of full audit reports, many for open-source and privacy projects, and maintains the DOMPurify sanitizer. Its website uses no cookies or analytics.

The AGPL-3.0 Community Edition can be self-hosted, and its telemetry is opt-in.
- [Mullvad VPN (VPN providers)](https://privacyratings.com/vpns/mullvad-vpn/index.md): No email, no name and no card needed. A stable, flat price, WireGuard on every platform, fully open-source apps, and repeated public audits of both the apps and the server infrastructure.
- [Svelte (Front-end and full-stack frameworks)](https://privacyratings.com/web-frameworks/svelte/index.md): Compiles components to small, fast JavaScript with no virtual DOM and no telemetry, and works well with TypeScript. The Forward Email webmail and apps use Svelte and TypeScript on Tauri (github.com/forwardemail/mail.forwardemail.net).
- [Forward Email Webmail (Webmail)](https://privacyratings.com/webmail/forward-email-webmail/index.md): Source-available webmail with built-in OpenPGP and no third-party analytics, covered by Cure53's audit. It works only with Forward Email accounts, not other IMAP and SMTP providers.
