Our stance and efforts to handling your data with respect and transparency.

Privacy Is Normal

Privacy is one's right to not being observed, nor disturbed, without explicit consent. Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world"

At Defined Once, we believe privacy is normal. It is a fundamental right that all of us get to experience.

We acknowledge that our digital world is not only inhabited by agents, bots, governments and corporate entities. It is inhabited by human beings like us.

We acknowledge that, like nature, the Internet came without privacy, and that it is up to us to design, implement and protect it.

We acknowledge that we must use our expertise, experience and power to protect the privacy of those who are unable to protect their own.

What We Collect

We do not use cookies. Please feel free to block our statistics server (umami.definedonce.com/) and the statistics script (served from umami.definedonce.com/in.js).
