About the UK DNS Privacy Project ​
The UK DNS Privacy Project is a company limited by guarantee, established to provide privacy-first DNS services to protect the online activity of UK internet users. Our mission is to promote online privacy and security by delivering a free, no-logs DNS service that prioritises user rights and data protection. We aim to lead by example in creating a safer and more transparent internet ecosystem.
Our Mission ​
Our goal is simple: to ensure that every internet user in the UK has access to a DNS service that respects their privacy. By leveraging secure and encrypted technologies like DNS-over-TLS (DoT) and DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH), we aim to safeguard user data and prevent unauthorised tracking or surveillance.
Our Structure ​
UK DNS Privacy Project Ltd is a company limited by guarantee, meaning we have no shareholders and operate solely for the public good. This structure offers significant benefits for our users:
- Without shareholders, we are not driven by profit but by the mission to serve our users and protect their privacy.
- As a company limited by guarantee, our structure ensures that we are transparent and accountable in all our operations.
- Funds are reinvested into the organisation to improve services, develop new features, and support the community.
- Our structure aligns with our vision to act in the best interests of the public, ensuring that privacy remains a fundamental right for all.
Governance ​
While we currently operate under a straightforward organisational structure, we are planning to implement a more formal governance model in the future. This will include a board of directors composed of individuals with expertise in technology, privacy, and public service. The board will set strategic priorities, oversee operations, and ensure that decisions are made in the best interest of the public and our users.
In addition, we aim to establish a member-based model that allows individuals and organisations aligned with our mission to join as members. These members will contribute to key decisions and help shape the future direction of the project. As part of our commitment to transparency, we also plan to publish annual reports detailing our financials, activities, and achievements. These governance enhancements are part of our long-term vision to strengthen community involvement and trust.
