We don’t just sell devices; our expert configurations engineer them to the highest standards using GrapheneOS – the most secure operating system trusted by industry and privacy advocates worldwide. Our ‘Standards‘ ensure every Privacy Phone is hardened against threats, is easy to use, and tailored for long-term digital resilience. We handle a complex 100+ point checklist (spending 4-7 hours per device) so you don’t have to, delivering a plug-and-play experience that balances privacy and security with convenience.
We strive to provide an above-and-beyond approach with resources: providing a full overview of every pre-installed app, curated learning materials, links to video tutorials, and alternative options with apps to save client time and frustration.
The Foundation of Every Privacy Phone
Our standards are built on 4 core pillars: Security, Privacy, Usability, and Resilience. These pillars guide our strategy, drawn from GrapheneOS updates, expert insights, and community feedback as we refine them continually. Here’s a simple breakdown:
- Security 🔒: We prioritise features that protect against hacks, malware, and unauthorised access.
- Verified Boot and Tamper Detection: Every startup checks for changes, alerting you to potential tampering – like a built-in alarm system.
- Hardened Memory and Exploit Protection: Advanced tech (like Memory Tagging Extension) makes it harder for attackers to exploit weaknesses, reducing risks from apps or software bugs.
- App Sandboxing: Apps run in isolated “boxes” using isolation methds.
- Duress PIN/Password: A special PIN can wipe sensitive data (even eSIMs) in emergencies.
- Auto-Reboot Feature: Set to 18 hours by default, clears temporary data to keep phone bug-free, fresh and secure.
- Tips for safe AI use to avoid cloud leaks.
- Privacy 🛡️: Privacy is about minimising what others can see or collect. We strip trackers and give you easy controls, so you decide what gets shared. We also provide guides on best privacy practices to help build habits.
- Zero Telemetry by Default: No background data collection – usage stays private.
- MAC Randomisation and Toggles: Randomises device’s “address” per connection; quick switches for location, microphone, camera, network, sensors, NFC, and USB.
- Memory Zeroing: Automatically clears freed memory to prevent data remnants.
- 4G-Only Mode: Reduces exposure by default while keeping calls (VoLTE) working smoothly.
- Proton Ecosystem Integration:
- ‘Essential’ tier for encrypted email, calendar, and more
- ‘Pro Bundles’ tier gives 1-year Proton Unlimited for advanced tools
- Usability ⚡: A secure phone shouldn’t feel like a chore. We optimise for smooth, familiar use, even if for non tech-savvy. Resources include tips, guides and app suggestions to enhance experience.
- Android-Like Customisation: Recent updates with easy tweaks – no steep learning curve.
- Pre-Optimised Apps: Vetted, open-source apps installed and ready; app stores like Aurora for anonymous downloads. Deeper configuration for ‘Pro Bundle’ tier.
- Navigation & Settings: Starts with 3-button controls (tip: change to gestures); grouped quick settings.
- Consistent Menus: Everything intuitive, with guidance for personalisation without overwhelming complexity.
- Resilience 🛠️: Focus on sustainability, ensuring device withstands evolving threats.
- Community-Vetted Processes: Refined based on real user feedback.
- Tailored Guides: Quick Start Guides and User Manuals for beginners to experts; above-and-beyond approach not a copy-and-paste.
- ‘Pro Bundle’ Extras: Includes resilience self-assessments, a support call, Faraday bags, camera covers, and more.
- Consultations and Donations: Free advice for custom setups; donate per sale to GrapheneOS dev.
Is This Configuration Right for Me?
The investment in quality configuration pays off in saved time and enhanced protection.
With rising concerns over data laws and surveillance, our Standards set the benchmark for de-googled privacy phones in Australia. They’re designed to protect, empower, and simplify your digital life.
We are dedicated on building digital resilience in our communities.
