Tiles PrivacyPrivacy tools for everyone
Our mission is to empower people by designing and building software that provides agency, control, and choice in our digital lives. We believe that privacy adoption at scale must work backwards from preserving utility. This means negligible impact on user experience, model intelligence, throughput, latency, tool use & agentic capabilities, and web access.
Tiles Privacy is also a signatory to the European Social Stack initiative, supporting an open, interoperable, and publicly accountable digital ecosystem for Europe.
