Open Source Privacy Tools: Why It Matters

When it comes to privacy tools, open source isn't just a nice-to-have—it's essential.

Why Open Source?

Transparency

• You can verify exactly what the code does
• No hidden backdoors or tracking

Community Audits

• Security researchers can review the code
• Vulnerabilities are found and fixed faster

Trust Through Verification

• "Don't trust, verify" becomes possible
• Independence from any single company

All Privacy Gecko tools are open source because we believe privacy requires transparency.
