Local Tech Privacy Guides — by City and Platform

Big-Tech privacy practices look different depending on where you live. State-level laws, local enforcement, and regional carrier or municipal data-sharing agreements all change what a single platform actually collects from you. Our city-level guides cover what major platforms — including Google, Meta, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Netflix, TikTok, OpenAI, Uber, and dozens more — collect from residents of each city, what local laws say about it, and which privacy-respecting alternatives are practical to switch to today.

Each guide is paired with our full delete, switch, and alternative resources so you can take action immediately: opt out of unnecessary tracking, migrate to encrypted alternatives, and understand which protections apply where you live. Updates flow from editorial review and source-data refreshes — never blind “just now” signals. If you don’t see your city or platform combination yet, browse the closest match and use the linked switch and delete guides as a starting point.
