A company that makes the internet cleaner.

Who we are, what we think, what we do not do, and what the site knows about you.

Who we are.

Methmine makes tools for people who want a clean, anonymous internet: no tracking, no advertising, nobody looking where they were not invited. We are a private company and a closed community around what we build.

Today that is three things: Methmine Browser for people who run many accounts, SodaVPN for people who want a quiet way onto the network, and an ad blocker that is still being built.

Everything but SodaVPN is in closed beta: we admit a narrow circle of people and listen to them before opening the door wider.

The point of view.

Anonymity should not be a choice. It should be the default.

An internet without tracking and advertising belongs to everyone who uses it.

We build tools for ourselves, so they have to work rather than sell.

Data that does not exist cannot be lost, so we collect less of it.

What we do keep, we say ourselves, before anyone asks.

Nothing here is free and paid for with your behaviour. The price is said out loud and paid in money.

What we do not do.

We do not count people.
No counter on the page and no analytics, and we are not starting either.
We do not sell or pass on what we know about you.
The list of it is below, and it is shorter than this page.
We keep no copy of your profiles.
What is not there cannot be carried off.
We push nobody else’s extensions through a channel of our own, wallets included.
What you bring is what runs: signed by you, existing nowhere else.
We do not ask you to switch off your firewall so that our product will start.
What is on your disk can be read and exported without our server.
No identity document.
The application asks for a contact and what you run, in your own words. That is all.
We do not hold your profiles as collateral.
Stop paying, and they stay yours, readable and exportable.

What the site knows about you.

Anonymity here is not a promise; it is the list of what we do not ask and do not keep: no analytics, no advertising, no identity documents. The application asks for a contact and what you run, in your own words, and nothing else personal. In the community you are a handle. You sign in to the browser with an email and a password. What the site and the account know about you is listed below. Each product carries its own list on its page.

the application: Your contact, what you wrote, the page language and the time it arrived. No address, no browser. The founder reads it and may show it to current members before acceptance.
who invited you: A member’s handle, if you gave one.
in the community: Your handle.
the browser account: The sign-in email and a password check, which is not the password.
the recovery key: Held by us, so that a forgotten password is not the end of your profiles.
SodaVPN: The Telegram account the access was handed to, and the term of the subscription. More on the SodaVPN page.
mail: The address confirmation and the key notice are sent through an outside mail service, which sees the address and the link.
our server: An ordinary request log: address, page, time, browser, where you came from. The account service keeps a sign-in log of the same kind.

That is the list for the site and the account. Each product carries its own on its page. Questions about your data: privacy@methmine.com.

We answer ourselves, with no sales team and no bot on the first line.
