Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) are tools and methods designed to protect individuals' personal information while using digital services. They help users maintain their privacy by minimizing data collection, anonymizing user identities, and securing communications. Examples of PETs include encryption, virtual private networks (VPNs), and anonymous browsing tools like Tor. These technologies aim to empower users by giving them control over their data and reducing the risks of surveillance and data breaches. By implementing PETs, individuals can navigate the internet more securely, ensuring that their sensitive information remains confidential and protected from unauthorized access.
