"If I were configuring a smartphone today, I'd use
[this OS] as the base operating system."
– Edward Snowden
I noticed a dramatic, dramatic drop off in transmission of information and thus an increase in speed and bandwidth available using this phone...
Because it's not sending all that google data back to google, it's not reporting all of the stuff you're saying, and this kind of stuff, there is no giant funnel heading back to big-tech continuously with this phone.

Select a tab to view the FAQ for your selected device
What are the key privacy features of your de-Googled phones?
Our de-Googled phones come with enhanced privacy features such as the removal of all Google apps, servers, and services by default. This ensures your data remains private and untracked by big tech.
What type of phone do you configure?
We use Pixel phones and tablets due to their compatibility with GrapheneOS. These devices are selected for their security chip and overall performance.
What makes your phones different from other privacy-focused phones?
Our phones offer a balance between privacy, functionality, and ease of use. Unlike other privacy-focused phones, we ensure that you can still use all your favorite apps securely. With years of experience in digital security and privacy, we meticulously configure each device to provide you with a seamless user experience without compromising on security. We understand the needs of privacy-conscious users and combine that with the latest in secure technology to deliver a product that truly stands out.
What Operating System (OS) do you use?
We use GrapheneOS, regarded as the most secure phone operating system at this time. Edward Snowden has also acknowledged its security features. You can learn more about GrapheneOS via: https://grapheneos.org/features
If I were configuring a smartphone today, I'd use @DanielMicay's @GrapheneOS as the base operating system...
GrapheneOS has absolutely no google applications or services pre-installed. Due to this not all applications will work with this phone, though most of the security and privacy based applications such as Signal, Telegram, Protonmail, and many more do work.
In some cases where a client requires a phone that can function with all their favourite apps we can can enable the Sandboxed Google Play store and service. "Google Play receives absolutely no special access or privileges on GrapheneOS" - GOS.
Can I still use popular apps on a de-Googled phone?
Yes, you can use popular apps via the Sandboxed Google Play feature, which allows you to run all apps available on the Play Store while maintaining privacy.
How do de-Googled phones handle software updates
Our de-Googled phones receive regular updates [the good kind] directly from the OS developers, ensuring that you always have the latest security patches and features without compromising your privacy.
Is it difficult to switch from a standard phone to a de-Googled phone?
Switching is straightforward. We provide a comprehensive guide and support to help you transition smoothly, including transferring your contacts, apps, and data.
What apps can I run?
With GrapheneOS, you can run most security and privacy-based applications such as Signal, Telegram, Protonmail, and many more. For a sample list of privacy apps included with our Privacy Plus package, visit our apps page.
Is the phone safe?
Absolutely! We take special care to ensure all aspects of the phone are secure and safe before sending it out to you. We only use brand new phones to ensure that our clients receive a quality product.
Why is it important to replace the original OS?
Most phones, whether Android (Samsung, LG, etc.) or Apple, are shipped with copious amounts of trackers and third-party software. Our custom OS's prioritize privacy and security above all.
Will the battery last as long?
Absolutely, and in most cases, it will be extended due to not having all the bloatware that is put on a phone by Google, Samsung, Apple, and other providers.
How do I know that you didn't put spyware on the phone?
PThe GrapheneOS Auditor app uses hardware security features on supported devices to validate the integrity of the operating system from another Android device. It verifies that the device is running the stock operating system with the bootloader locked and that no tampering with the operating system has occurred.
Do you offer a cell service?
People are free to choose on their own the method by which they connect the phone. Some use privacy phones on WiFi only, others purchase a pre-paid sim card, and some use their existing sim. We do not offer a cell service to avoid having access to your call logs and data usage.
Is it legal to have a privacy phone?
Absolutely! Privacy is a human right, protected in over 130 countries. Being able to make decisions privately and control how your private information is communicated is at the core of personhood and individuality.
Are these phones covered by warranty?
Installing a custom ROM can void the warranty on the phone, similar to replacing a car's engine with a custom one. However, we use brand new phones to ensure the devices are not faulty.
How long are your phones supported with updates, and why is there a limit?
The update and support period for our phones is standard across all manufacturers. It is impractical and almost impossible to keep updating phones beyond a certain period. This is similar to how it's not possible to get original manufactured parts for older cars. For example, iPhones have a support period of 5 to 7 years, while Samsung supports their devices for 4 years.
Our Ninjaphones are supported for 5 years from the day they were released. The new Pixel 9 and 9 Pro that we now offer are supported for 7 years, until 2031. By support, we mean receiving software updates and security patches. This ensures that your device remains secure and functional throughout its supported lifespan.
Think of it like this: expecting perpetual updates is like asking your first car to sprout wings and fly! Rest assured, our phones will keep you cruising smoothly with updates and security patches for years, without feeling like you're being trapped in a digital time capsule.
If I change my mind, can I return the phone?
We only deal with brand new phones, which are meticulously set up following strict protocols. Once shipped and received, we cannot guarantee they have not been tampered with, so we cannot accept returns due to a change of mind. We provide extensive information and consultation to ensure you receive the right service.
What privacy features are included in your laptops?
Our laptops come with Linux pre-installed, which is known for its strong security and privacy features. This includes encrypted home drives, root access, and robust file permissions management.
Why choose Linux over Windows or macOS?
Linux offers enhanced privacy and security, with no telemetry or data collection. It’s also open-source, allowing complete transparency and control over your system. Think of it as shifting from fast food to a home made meal and knowing what ingredients are being used.
What type of laptop do you configure?
We use the Lenovo X-Series due to their proven tested military standards, and quality engineering. They are great laptops that have been used due to their design and overall performance.
How does Linux ensure my data is secure?
Linux includes features like full disk encryption, encrypted home directories, regular security updates [the good kind], and much more.
Can I still use my favorite software on Linux?
Yes, Linux Mint supports a wide range of software. Additionally, you can use compatibility layers like Wine or virtual machines to run Windows applications if needed. The only limitations are apps like Adobe Suite that are only developed for macOS and Windows. If you are unsure please contact us.
Is Linux Mint user-friendly for non-technical users?
Absolutely. Linux Mint is designed with a user-friendly interface and comes with extensive documentation and community support to help you get started and troubleshoot any issues.
What privacy apps are pre-installed?
The laptop will have Brave Browser, Mullvad VPN, Signal, Telegram, Protonmail, Bitwarden Password Manager, and many more privacy and security apps pre-installed with the Privacy Plus package.
Why is it important to replace the original OS?
Unfortunately most laptops, whether Microsoft Windows or Apple macOS are shipped with copious amounts of trackers and third-party software. The good news is that we have the tools and custom OS for people that are seeking an ecosystem that prioritizes privacy and security above all. Welcome to the parallel society.
Is it legal to have a privacy laptop?
Absolutely! All the software and apps installed on the laptops are open-source and publicly available. Privacy is a human right, over 130 countries have constitutional statements regarding the protection of privacy, in every region of the world.
What are the main privacy features of your routers?
Our routers come with advanced encryption, VPN, and Tor support, providing secure and private internet access. They also include features like hardware kill switches to disable internet and prevent data leaks.
How do hardware VPNs compare to software VPNs?
Hardware VPNs offer plug-and-play simplicity with no need for software installation on end-user devices. This ensures compatibility and reduces maintenance efforts. They also act as firewalls, adding an extra layer of security.
Can your routers be used with all devices?
Yes, our routers are compatible with nearly all IP-enabled devices, including legacy devices. This makes them versatile for various setups.
How do I manage and set up your routers?
Our routers come with an easy-to-use interface for setup and management. We provide detailed instructions and support to help you configure your network according to your privacy and security needs.
What makes your routers different from standard routers?

Can I turn off 5G on the router?
Yes, you can turn off 5G on the router. This is useful for users who prefer to minimize exposure to 5G signals or those who want to use specific network frequencies.
Can I run a VPN on the router?
Yes, you can run a VPN directly on the router. This provides an added layer of security for all devices connected to the network, ensuring your internet traffic is encrypted and private.
What if I need help with the router setup?
