Transparent about what we protect against
No security tool can protect against everything. Here's our explicit threat model.
What Privacy Guard protects
- ✓ Third-party surveillance and data harvesting
- ✓ Man-in-the-middle attacks on communications
- ✓ Metadata exposure and traffic analysis
- ✓ Unauthorized access to stored data
- ✓ Server-side breaches (zero-knowledge architecture)
What it does NOT protect against
- ✗ Compromised endpoints (malware on your device)
- ✗ Physical access to unlocked devices
- ✗ Social engineering and phishing attacks
- ✗ Nation-state level adversaries with unlimited resources
- ✗ Legal compulsion in certain jurisdictions
