Our commitment to donor privacy at Tor

At the Tor Project, transparency for a privacy project is not a contradiction: privacy is about choice, and we choose to be transparent in order to build trust and a stronger community. This is how we operate in all aspects of our work: we show you all of our projects, in source code, and in periodic project and team reports, and in collaborations with researchers who help assess and improve Tor. Transparency also means being clear about our values, promises, and priorities as laid out in our social contract.

KWallet to SecretService, a client application: name wanted

posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Jul 10, 2025

Another pain point is the application used to look inside the wallets, KWalletmanager, which only speaks the KWallet api and looks a bit dated nowdays...
