Community Privacy Residency

The Community Privacy Residency brings together researchers, builders, and community organizers to co-design and build open-source tools for community privacy, with a focus on Countersurveillance, Privacy & Cryptography in AI, and Community Infrastructure.

As surveillance technologies proliferate and AI systems reshape how data is collected and used, communities need practical, human-centered privacy infrastructure grounded in real-world community needs, participatory design, and an open-source ethos.

We welcome community partners, sponsors, and collaborators. If you or your organization are interested in supporting community-driven privacy infrastructure and applied cryptography work, let’s talk! communityprivacyteam@protonmail.com
