Most of the web guesses what you want by watching what you do. Declaring is the opposite: you say it, once, on your terms. The difference is who holds the truth about you — them, or you.

Privacy basics
Most of the web guesses what you want by watching what you do. Declaring is the opposite: you say it, once, on your terms. The difference is who holds the truth about you — them, or you.
Privacy basics
Not "we removed your name". It means the system is built so it cannot link a signal back to you at all — the classification travels, the identity does not. Ask what a service can re-identify, not just what it promises.
Privacy basics
Consent is only real if revoking it is as easy as giving it. Look for a clear off switch, a record of who saw what, and no dark patterns between you and it.
Privacy basics
Access (get a copy), rectification (fix it), erasure (delete it), portability (take it elsewhere), objection (say no). Under GDPR and Swiss FADP these are yours by law — not favours.
More to come
A fuller set of explainers and guides is being written. Until then, these are the ideas that matter most.
