About

Privacy Guides is a socially motivated website that provides information for protecting your data security and privacy. We are a non-profit collective operated entirely by volunteer team members and contributors.

Our current list of team members can be found here. Additionally, many people have made contributions to the project, and you can too!

Developing

1. Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org
2. Install Python 3.6+
3. Install mkdocs-material: pip install mkdocs-material
4. Serve the site locally: mkdocs serve
   • The site will be available at http://localhost:8000/.

Your local site will appear slightly different, because the production version of the website uses a private/custom build of mkdocs-material with additional features.

Team members with access to mkdocs-material-insiders should instead:

1. Clone this repository and submodules: git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org
2. Install Python 3.6+
3. Install pipenv: pip install pipenv
4. Start a pipenv shell: pipenv shell
5. Install dependencies: pipenv install --dev
6. Serve the site locally: mkdocs serve --config-file mkdocs.production.yml
   • The site will be available at http://localhost:8000
   • You can build the site locally with mkdocs build --config-file mkdocs.production.yml
   • This version of the site should be identical to the live, production version
