Gather round the virtual campfire because we've got special treats for you! Since 1990, the Electronic Frontier Foundation has fought to protect your right to privacy, security, and free expression online. Our scrappy team became a leading voice in debates about your freedom on the internet through work in the courts, grassroots activism, and free privacy-enhancing tools for the public interest.
To celebrate EFF's 34th anniversary, we invite you to join EFF for as little as $20 today and you’ll get two special-edition gifts including a Bigfoot "Privacy is a Human Right!" enamel pin.
We’ve been having some fun with tales from The Encryptids—the rarely-seen enigmas who inspire campfire lore. Learn more about how they survive this ever-digital world with the legendary Bigfoot de la Sasquatch...

P
eople say I'm the most famous of The Encryptids, but sometimes I don't want the spotlight. They all want a piece of me: exes, ad trackers, scammers, even the government. A picture may be worth a thousand words, but my digital profile is worth cash (to skeezy data brokers). I can’t hit a city block without being captured by doorbell cameras, CCTV, license plate readers, and a maze of street-level surveillance. It can make you want to give up on privacy altogether. Honey, no. Why should you have to hole up in some dank, busted forest for freedom and respect? You don’t.
Privacy isn't about hiding. It's about revealing what you want to who you want on your terms. It's your basic right to dignity.
Privacy isn't about hiding...It's your basic right to dignity.
A wise EFF technologist once told me, “Nothing makes you a ghost online.” So what we need is control, sweetie! You're not on your own! EFF worked for decades to set legal precedents for us, to push for good policy, fight crap policy, and create tools so you can be more private and secure on the web RIGHT NOW. They even have whole ass guides that help people around the world protect themselves online. For free!
I know a few things about strangers up in your business, leaked photos, and wanting to live in peace. Your rights and freedoms are too important to leave them up to tech companies and politicians. This world is a better place for having people like the lawyers, activists, and techs at EFF.
Privacy is a "human" right
Privacy is a team sport and the team needs you. Sign up with EFF today and not only can you get fun stuff (featuring ya boy Footy), you’ll make the internet better for everyone.
XOXO,
Bigfoot DLS
