With #DataPrivacyWeek in full swing, we're excited to be part of the conversation - and part of the solution - in regaining and maintaining privacy of your personal and corporate data.
We're humbled to be recommended everywhere as the go-to private cloud - find out how we're making a difference:
Since #privacy online became a broader concern, #BigTech companies now attempt to appear privacy-oriented while just changing the way they spy on their users.
Such is the case with #Google disabling third-party cookies in #Chrome and developing technologies such as #FLoC or #Topics, both of which we've opposed from the very beginning.
Yes, our browser is based on #Chromium, but we do a lot of modifications to the code and take special measures to always protect our users and their privacy.
Bluetooth devices like AirTags and Tile Tags can help with the stress or losing your keys or luggage. They work by enrolling a massive number of phones into a network that monitors and reports back the locations of these tags. #DataPrivacyWeek
Much of the web is supported by advertising, too often at the expense of #privacy and at the risk of causing or contributing to serious harms like discrimination, manipulation, and more. #DataPrivacyWeek
All sorts of companies collect a host of data that can reveal sensitive info about a person’s health and health care choices. Search queries, browsing history, the contents of communications, and a person’s location data can all reveal incredibly private info. #DataPrivacyWeek
Not only should you get a #browser that offers anti-tracking protection (or a tracker blocker extension), but one that cares about you and doesn’t spy on your browsing habits. In the end, blocking trackers is almost pointless if you are using a browser that collects far more details than any tracking ad ever could.
At Vivaldi we believe what you do online is your business. We don't profile you, nor share or sell information to any third party.
This #DataPrivacyWeek, keeping #privacy at the forefront of discussion about #AI regulation is important. It ensures that personal data is protected from exploitation and helps users maintain autonomy over their private information.
Our first recommendation for someone who wants to be better protected online is easy: switch to a #privacy-friendly #browser!
Using Vivaldi? We take your privacy seriously:
Our built-in Tracker and #AdBlocker lets you block invasive trackers, the biggest sources of #surveillance out there. You can set different blocking levels for different websites.
Cookie dialogs can be confusing. Enable the option ‘Remove cookie warnings’, to avoid the risk of unwillingly giving sites permission to create behavioral profiles about you.
Search Suggestions are disabled by default, so that your search engine doesn’t see what you type on your address and search field.
Go to Settings > Privacy and Security to check all the privacy-related settings. 🔒
It's #DataPrivacyWeek: join us this Thursday for a virtual live event where we discuss the challenges and opportunities of digital rights advocacy in 2024 with a panel of experts. 📺 Set a reminder here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-K8ki7zBArs
Happy #DataPrivacyWeek! Privacy and good data governance are core, intersectional values that ground each of our expert teams’ fight to advance civil rights and civil liberties in the digital age.
Your data is yours, and others shouldn’t have access to it, let alone profit from it. 🙅
This is something we stand by, which is why we’ve always campaigned against tracking malpractices. We made our Sync service end-to-end encrypted for the same reason: to ensure that your data remains yours.
On the occasion of #dataprivacyweek, we’ll be posting content to help raise awareness about the importance of steering away from privacy-unfriendly habits.
@Vivaldi yo what about open sourcing your browser so we have no questions about the code that's being run on our machines, that'd be even more privacy conscious i think
