Privacy Guides launches merch shop with new designs for in-person advocacy
For Immediate Release — Privacy Guides, a non-profit organization focused on building a strong privacy & digital rights advocacy community, launched a new web store today featuring quality product designs for people who want to advocate for digital rights and Privacy Guides' resources within their local communities.
Defender of Privacy
The Defender of Privacy uses many tools to keep their data well protected. Equipped with end-to-end encryption, libraries of knowledge, and of course Privacy Guides, you too can be a Defender of Privacy: Fighting against surveillance to protect our fundamental rights.
— Em, Product Designer & Staff Writer
The shop, currently available at shop.privacyguides.org, features a variety of designs representing privacy-related concepts. All proceeds from the store are helping Privacy Guides continue its mission to advocate for privacy, and empower people with the knowledge they need to fight for their digital rights.
Surveillance Banner Rocks Glass
The "Privacy is a Human Right" banner design (also featured on the Defender of Privacy shirts) shows a variety of invasive surveillance products being cut from their cords.
The Article 12 design represents a declaration that privacy rights are human rights. The Declaration consists of 30 articles. In point 12 is the article asserting that privacy is a fundamental right essential to everyone.
Article 12 T-Shirt
On December 10th, 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly. This international document codifies an agreement between nations recognizing the rights and freedoms that are inherent to all human beings.
There are currently a few designs to choose from, and like all Privacy Guides work, no generative AI was utilized in the creation of these products.
This is the first phase of multiple pro-privacy merch designs that will be released in the future. Privacy Guides will also be open-sourcing these designs under a Creative Commons license to be determined within the next few months.
The shop also sells gift cards in time for the holiday season. In addition to using them anywhere in the shop in the future, unused gift card funds can also be converted to a Privacy Guides membership upon manual request, at a rate of $10 in gift card funds per month. You must not be a current member to redeem this offer, membership time can only be added to free subscribers.
