Welcome to the Android privacy course! In this course we will teach you everything about creating the best possible privacy setup on your Android device. Not only do we endorse privacy, but this course is build around a couple of key values: privacy, open-source software, freedom of speech, and if possible: decentralization.
The first part of the course is focusing on the violation of our privacy and the definition of privacy itself. Why would you even want or need it? Is it even possible to maintain your privacy in today’s day and age? Later on the course we will focus on solutions, without the need to go and buy a new phone. It’s even better: your phone will feel like it’s brand new! Better privacy also means more battery life. Gone with all the bloatware and tracking! Start the course by clicking on the course introduction down below.
Pick one of our Frequently Asked Questions below. Is your question not there? Feel free to contact us.
I don't have any technical knowledge, can I still enroll in this course?
Yes, you can. We believe privacy is a basic human right that should be available to anyone. We made this course so that even our grandmothers could be following it!
When I DeGoogle my phone, will I still be able to use my favorite apps?
You will. In the course we will explain what the different implications will be for using different kind of apps. We will, for example, highly discourage you to use an app like Whatsapp or Facebook. But, if there’s really no other option (on another phone for example), we will still offer the option to use it in the most privately friendly way possible. And, on the other hand, we will still highly encourage you to get used to using alternatives.
I have an iPhone, can I still follow this course?
The first section of the course will be a general one, focusing on the privacy flaws we have on the internet in general. The rest of the course will be specifically for Android phone. The thing with iPhones is that the software is not as editable as much as Android, so there is a lot less you can do. What you can do, however, is purchase a cheap Android phone with great specs (like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro). You can then rebuild this phone and use this one for the maximum amount of privacy. You then have a choice to make.
Can I get a refund?
We believe in the quality of this course. Next to that, we really want this information to be spread. That’s why we give a money back guarantee. Not what you expected? Let us know within two weeks and you’ll get a refund.
Can I pay, but still maintain my privacy?
We actually encourage you to pay with privacy cryptocurrency by giving you a 25% discount! We accept Monero, Verge and Zcash. Next to that we also accept Bitcoin.
I want to buy a new but affordable phone to DeGoogle it, which one should I get?
We at Android-Privacy.com we like the Xiaomi Redmi note 8/9, because of it’s great specs for a really low price. This low price mostly comes from all the bloatware that comes pre-installed on it, but we are going to get rid of that anyway 😉
I can just install a custom rom and then I'm done right?
No! This is a big mistake a lot of people make. Just installing a private rom will get rid of Google’s Android, but you’re still far away from the most privacy friendly setup (also see section 2 of the course).
How long is section 3?
Section 3 itself is 2 hours of video material. The rebuilding will probably take 3 hours for a more technical person and 4/5 hours for a less technical person.
How much time do I save?
Figuring all of this out on your own will probably cost you weeks. That’s why we created this course, so you can have digital privacy without the need to do all the research!

Service met een hoofdletter S
Helaas bleek de telefoon die ik ontving een mankement te hebben. Daar kwam ik pas na een tijdje achter.
Geen probleem. De telefoon werd ingenomen en ik kreeg per omgaande een nieuwe.
Gelukkig zijn er ook nog steeds organisaties die zaken doen vanuit vertrouwen.
Top !!!!!

Leuk om te horen Karen, dankjewel!
Blij met telefoon! Maar het ging met horten en stoten
Ik heb de telefoon nu een paar maanden. Ben er inmiddels ontzettend blij mee. In het begin was het echt wel wennen. Vooral mail, agenda (voor werk) was een ding! Whatsapp ging ook niet zonder horten en stoten. Belangrijkste voor mij is toch dat de telefoon goed werkt. Ondersteuning was goed, reactie snelheid kan wel stukje sneller. Al met al zou ik geen andere telefoon meer willen.
Snowden mobiel
Ik ben blij met mijn nieuwe mobiel, moet wel wennen. Het duurde even voordat ik door had hoe het werkte en ben er nog niet helemaal uit. Maar het begin is er.
makkelijk overstappen
De overstap verliepsoepel, een hoop apps gebruikte ik nog nauwelijks en ik vond voor de meeste een alternatief. Sommige via de alternatieve store Aurora. Een goed alternatief voor Google Maps en Buienradar ontbreekt nog helaas…
Verder heel tevreden en een veilig gevoel.

Bedankt voor je review FFW Kouwenberg! Heb je de vervanger voor Google Maps op het Privacy Platform al gezien? Verwacht hier snel een video over.
Privacy telefoon
Ik ben erg blij met deze telefoon, in combinatie met de info die op de community te vinden is. Een awareness van privacy risico’s waar je op ieder moment en overal aan bloot word gesteld
