Is your favorite app tracking you? Likely so. Is that just a necessary evil for the conveniences of modern life? No! There are great options now that you will love.

This is a free workshop for people who want apps that better protect their privacy and align with their values.

The platforms we've gotten used to - like Google, Meta, and Amazon - have created dependency on a surveillance, data-harvesting model largely owned by our problematic billionaire class.

Many people realize that's a problem and would like to change, but don't know where to start.

Reclaim control over your data by moving away from invasive platforms to more ethical, privacy-respecting alternatives.

It's now easy to switch to greater 'digital sovereignty', let me help. I've done the research so you don't have to.

As a 'starter kit' we will mainly cover replacement apps for:

• Messaging

• Email

• Browsers/Search

• Maps

• AI

Plus we will briefly discuss VPNs, social media, shopping, and phones.

This will be an overview and we will move fast, but I will help you walk out emancipated with some new apps and tech choices. Bring your laptop and/or your smartphone, a way to take notes, and a willingness to make changes.
