<div class="admonition example" markdown>
<p class="admonition-title">Work in Progress</p>
Below are some general priorities we consider for all submissions to Privacy Guides. Each category will have additional requirements for inclusion.

The following page is a work in progress, and does not reflect the full criteria for our recommendations at this time. Past discussion on this topic: [#24](https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org/discussions/24)

</div>

Below are some things that must apply to all submissions to Privacy Guides. Each category will have additional requirements for inclusion.
- **Security**: Tools should follow security best-practices wherever applicable.
- **Source Availability**: Open-source projects are generally preferred over equivalent proprietary alternatives.
- **Cross-Platform Availability**: We typically prefer recommendations to be cross-platform, to avoid vendor lock-in.
- **Active Development**: The tools that we recommend should be actively developed, unmaintained projects will be removed in most cases.
- **Usability**: Tools should be accessible to most computer users, an overly technical background should not be required.
- **Documentation**: Tools should have clear and extensive documentation for use.

## Financial Disclosure

We do not make money from recommending certain products, we do not use affiliate links, and we do not provide special consideration to project donors.

## General Guidelines

We apply these priorities when considering new recommendations:

- **Secure**: Tools should follow security best-practices wherever applicable.
