General Criteria

Below are some general priorities we consider for all submissions to Privacy Guides. Each category will have additional requirements for inclusion.

  • Security: Tools should follow security best practices wherever applicable.
  • Source Availability: Open-source projects are generally preferred over equivalent proprietary alternatives.
  • Cross-Platform Availability: We typically prefer recommendations to be cross-platform to avoid vendor lock-in.
  • Active Development: The tools that we recommend should be actively developed. Unmaintained projects will be removed in most cases.
  • Usability: Tools should be accessible to most computer users. An overly technical background should not be required.
  • Documentation: Tools should have clear and extensive documentation for use.
