Creating a static webpage is one of the main goals for the next time. Fundraising is one of our main topics for the next time, so this should be the focus of our communications for a start. This wiki page serves for communicate about basic text content for the webpage.

privact - reclaiming privacy
Vision
We strive for a world where everyone has full control over their own personal data. A rich market of applications enables individuals to use this data for their own benefit. At the same time, this data will drive progress for society without compromising privacy.
Solution
To make personal data controllable by users and useful to society, we will develop technological and organisational solutions:
Technology:
- Allow users to store data decentralized on their own devices
- Provide transition support for entry into the privact system
- Provide a data mining system that protects individual privacy
Organisational:
- Establish a foundation to act as a trustee for user interests
- Establish an audit system
- Establish a system for working with personal data
Mission
We will achieve our goals together with strong civil society partners. We will work with privacy initiatives to create the necessary technical and organisational means. On this basis, we will ally with free software projects as pioneers to implement the new standard in society. Finally, we will work with NGOs to maximise the positive impact on society and the environment.
