Port9 Privacy & Security

Why Port9

In computer networking, port 9 is the Discard service: anything sent there is thrown away, never kept. That's how we treat your data. Port 9 is also where the 'wake-up' signal for sleeping computers is traditionally sent. We'd like to wake people up to how much of their lives big tech is harvesting.

The guardian

Port9 is guarded by the Ghost Rat Cyber Monk, guardian of the digital crypt.

Gh0st RAT was real malware that took over people's computers. The Ghost Rat Cyber Monk takes them back and gives them to their owners. I think like the people attacking you, so they don't get to you.

The nine vows

1. Your data stays yours. Nothing leaves your device unless you choose it.
2. No account unless it is truly needed.
3. No ads, no trackers, no selling data. Ever.
4. Own it, don't rent it. Buy once where possible.
5. We say exactly what it does. No overclaims. We publish checksums, changelogs and our own security reviews.
6. We show the workings wherever it is safe to do so.
7. We lean on big tech as little as possible, and say where we can't avoid it.
8. Always legal, always ethical. We only test systems we own or have written permission to test.
9. Teach, don't trap. You leave knowing more, and you can take your data and go at any time.
