Default Privacy

Default Privacy is a free, independent privacy reference for AI assistants. It answers privacy questions from sourced material instead of guesses: a directory of privacy tools where each fact links to the page it came from, practical guides, curated tool stacks for common situations, and a glossary.

What it can do:

• Search tools, guides, stacks and the glossary in one call, and look up any tool in depth, with its sources and the caveats worth knowing.
• Suggest private replacements for mainstream apps such as Gmail, WhatsApp or Chrome, and say what switching involves.
• Compare tools side by side.
• Route a situation described in plain words, such as a journalist protecting sources, someone leaving Google, or a first GrapheneOS phone, to the right guides and stacks.
• Check an MCP server against our vetted list before you connect it, including what it can read or change.
• Run free checks on a domain: email security records (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), WHOIS exposure and known breaches.

Every tool is read-only. There is no account and no sign-in, and it never touches your accounts or files. Domain checks query public DNS, public WHOIS (RDAP) servers and the public Have I Been Pwned breach list. We count which tools and request types are used and which kind of app connects. Those counts never include the text you send.

No vendor pays to be listed or mentioned, and there are no affiliate links. How we source, date and correct our guides is at defaultprivacy.com/editorial-policy. The code, including this server, is open source (AGPL-3.0) at github.com/default-privacy/DefaultPrivacy.com.
