Relationships

Who we work with — and who we deliberately don’t.

  • Intelligence servicesNo relationshipWe have never received a national-security letter, FISA request, or equivalent gag-ordered demand. The warrant canary above is updated every 30 days.
  • Defense contractorsNo relationshipNo defense contractor funds or directs Sighted. We do not white-label our data to military adjacencies. We do not accept R&D grants conditional on access controls.
