            We do not want parties to gain influence which do not or might not stand
            behind our values. That is why in the initial funding phase we took more
            personal risks instead of selling parts of our company for easy money.
            <br>
            <br>
            The legal entity behind Safing is <i>Safing ICS Technologies GmbH</i>, a private company registered in Austria.

            We are thankful for all the partnerships & possibilities that emerged
            from our earlier R&D heavy years in order to explore new privacy frontiers.
            <br>
            <br>
            Slowly but surely we migrated into our dream scenario where we only
            have to rely on the support and trust of our users. Help us remain independent by
            using Portmaster and considering an upgrade.
