About

Why Privacy Action Network?

I started PAN because I saw everyday people getting exploited by systems built to extract their data. Families, small business owners, people just getting on with things. The tools to fight back exist. Most people just need someone to show them how. That’s what I do.

This isn’t about going off-grid.

Privacy is a spectrum, not an all-or-nothing proposition. You don’t need to disappear from the internet, and you don’t need to be a tech expert. You just need to move from where you are now to somewhere meaningfully better.

  • Real people from first message to finished job, never a call centre
  • Every change broken down, with the reason behind it
  • No trackers on this site, and your details never shared

Get in touch

Tell me what’s going on.

A short form and a personal reply, wherever you are.

What happens next

  1. You get a personal reply. By email, a private video call or a phone call: you choose in the form. I aim to get back to you within two working days.
  2. You get a plan and a quote. What I’d do, in what order, and what it costs. Nothing starts until you say yes.
  3. We put it right. Remotely, or on-site in Gippsland, with each change explained as we go.
PAN enquiry

I'll email you a link to a Proton Meet call. It's end-to-end encrypted and opens in your browser: no account, nothing to install.

Your details are read only within PAN and used only to reply to you. Nothing goes on a mailing list. Privacy policy
