1. Core Mission and Privacy Philosophy

The primary focus of the e Foundation is data privacy.

• Data Sovereignty: The foundational belief is that "Your data is YOUR data!".

• Privacy by Design: The system is built to provide privacy by design, aiming to help users "escape from Mobile Surveillance".

• Non-Tracking Guarantee: The foundation is committed to not scanning data (on the phone or in the cloud), not logging or tracking GPS location, and not collecting what users are doing with their apps. They state they "never will".

• Non-Profit and Open Source: The e Foundation is a non-profit organization leading the development of Open Source mobile operating systems that respect users’ data privacy.

2. /e/OS Operating System

/e/OS is a mobile operating system based on fully deGoogled Android.

• Design and Experience: The OS is described as having a new, optimized appearance in its User Interface and is considered a "very pleasant to use OS". The development is supported by a great support team working hard on the beta with very regular updates.

• Compatibility: Despite being "deGoogled," the OS is compatible with all apps, allowing users to run most of their favorite applications, access bank accounts, chat, and play games.

3. Advanced Privacy and Security Features

/e/OS includes built-in features to protect the user from tracking and surveillance.

• App Tracker Evaluation: Each app in the /e/OS app store is scanned and analyzed. Users are informed about trackers found in apps, allowing them to see which apps are safe and which should be avoided regarding personal data.

• Advanced Privacy Widget: This widget provides users with control over their digital footprint.

  • It allows users to choose whether or not to stay tracked.

  • It offers features for hiding the IP address or geolocation when desired.

• Ad Blocking: An ad blocker is enabled by default in the web browser. This feature, combined with the tracker control, helps users enjoy a digital life with very few or no ads in applications and on the web.
