Your action plan

Harden your own accounts

Each step protects your data. Check them off as you go — your score rises with every one.

Privacy, explained simply

Short lessons on protecting yourself. No jargon, no fear — just what actually helps.

Everything here is about defending your own accounts, devices, and personal information. That's the whole goal: make you a harder target for scammers, data brokers, and identity thieves.

Privacy toolkit

Categories of tools that help protect your own communications and data. Always research the current reputation of any specific product before trusting it — this space changes fast.

Naming a category isn't an endorsement of any one product. Check independent, up-to-date reviews and each tool's security-audit history before you rely on it.

Certificate of completion

Finish all lessons and every checklist step to unlock a certificate you can save or print.

Save your progress

This is a prototype, so your progress lives on this device only. Save a backup file to keep it, or load one to pick up where you left off. A hosted version would sync this automatically.

Your backup file only records which lessons and steps you've marked done, plus the name you enter for the certificate. Nothing leaves your device unless you share the file.
