About Soapstone
Connecting people to a freer, safer web
Privacy-first software solutions that put your data security first. Zero trackers. Zero user following. Zero compromise.
Our Story
In an era where data has become the world's most valuable commodity, Big Tech companies routinely collect, analyze, and monetize user information—often without meaningful consent or transparency. This pervasive surveillance has created a digital landscape where privacy is treated as a luxury rather than a fundamental right, leaving individuals and businesses vulnerable to data exploitation.
Soapstone was founded to challenge this status quo. We recognized a growing demand among privacy-conscious users and businesses for ethical alternatives that don't compromise on functionality or performance. Founded by experienced technologists with expertise across finance, healthcare, and defense sectors, our team brings deep technical knowledge in building secure, scalable solutions.
Our mission is simple yet powerful: connecting people to a freer, safer web. We believe privacy is an inalienable right, not a privilege. That's why we built Soapstone as the ethical alternative—offering enterprise-grade privacy solutions that are accessible, affordable, and built on the principle that your data belongs to you, not to us.
From Vision to Reality
Our Privacy Promise
Soapstone's commitment to user privacy is unequivocally demonstrated by our operational standards. We don't just talk about privacy—we build it into everything we create, following three fundamental principles that guide every product we develop.
Zero Trackers
We never track user searches, serve ads, or save user data for undisclosed purposes.
Zero User Following
Your online activities remain private and are never silently observed or recorded.
Zero-Trust Networks
All information remains isolated and secure through robust network segmentation.
Battle-Tested Promise: We share the same customized tools that we build and use to protect ourselves online. If it's not secure enough for us, it's not secure enough for our customers—delivering enterprise-grade privacy solutions at a fraction of the cost of Big Tech alternatives.
