It's Time to De-Google Your Life
Google monetizes your emails, searches, location, and calendar. You are the product. This site exists to help you take it all back—with expert-vetted migration guides and privacy-first alternatives.
Why You Should De-Google
Google's business model is built on collecting and monetizing your personal data. Here's what they know about you.
Your Private Conversations
Gmail scans your emails for advertising keywords. Your most personal messages are analyzed by machines.
Your Location History
Google Maps tracks everywhere you go, building a complete picture of your daily movements and habits.
Your Search History
Every search reveals your interests, fears, health concerns, and political views—all stored indefinitely.
Your Private Files
Documents on Google Drive can be scanned and accessed. Your sensitive files aren't truly private.
Your Schedule
Google Calendar knows about your doctor visits, therapy sessions, job interviews, and personal meetings.
Your Financial Data
Gmail receipts, Google Pay transactions, and purchase tracking paint a picture of your financial life.
The World Is Rethinking Big Tech
New research shows consumers are actively moving away from US tech platforms. The shift toward privacy-first European alternatives is accelerating.
