- -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. -- **Source Availability**: Open-source projects are generally preferred over equivalent proprietary alternatives. -- **Cross-Platform**: 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. -- **Documented**: Tools should have clear and extensive documentation for use. - ## Developer Self-Submissions We have these requirements in regard to developers which wish to submit their project or software for consideration.
