🚀 Take Back Your Data (TBYD) | Senior Advisory Circle (SAC) 🔍 We are architects of digital sovereignty – designing privacy-first, open-core technologies. 🌍 Who We Are 📌 Take Back Your Data (TBYD) is a nonprofit think tank dedicated to building the future of digital sovereignty. 📌 The Senior Advisory Circle (SAC) is an elite group of 11 former BigTech executives & engineers, now retired, who shaped the digital infrastructure of today. With no corporate or investor pressure, they are finally free to build what BigTech cannot: a fully private, user-controlled, and open-core digital ecosystem. 📌 Why Retired Experts? No business interests, no career incentives – only pure technological excellence. Decades of insider knowledge – using BigTech’s own principles to create something better. A lifetime of experience, now fully independent & dedicated to open digital sovereignty. 📌 What We Build Zero-Knowledge Security & Post-Quantum Encryption 🛡 Edge Computing & Federated Systems ⚡ Open-Core, No Centralized Control 🔓 Scalable, Cost-Optimized, High-Performance Architectures 💡 📌 📢 Starting February 2025 – Permanent Release of Digital Sovereignty Blueprints From now on, TBYD will permanently release open-core blueprints that enable true digital independence for businesses, governments, and individuals. Each blueprint replaces BigTech-controlled systems with fully private, decentralized alternatives – making surveillance-based business models obsolete. 📌 Why We Offer Blueprints for a Protection Fee Unlike traditional tech firms, we do not operate for profit. Instead, the protection fee covers the costs of development & ensures technological independence. This guarantees that our solutions remain free from corporate or investor influence—designed purely for digital sovereignty. 📌 Join the Movement. We are not a company but a nonprofit expert network shaping the next-generation digital infrastructure. Our technologies redefine how businesses, governments, and individuals interact with data—without surveillance, tracking, or third-party control.
