## Description

WHAT CLOAKID DOES

Browser fingerprinting identifies you by how your browser looks and behaves — no cookies needed, across sites, even in private mode. CloakID protects against it. On supported sites, your browser presents a common, consistent persona derived from real-world data instead of your unique fingerprint, so you blend into a crowd rather than standing out. Random fingerprints are themselves a signal; a common one is not.

HONEST ABOUT COVERAGE

We tell you what is protected, and what is not:
- Explicit, per-site protection: on supported sites CloakID applies its persona and content protections; on unsupported sites it tells you so instead of pretending.
- Visible protection state: the extension shows the real status of the page you are on — protected, partially protected, or not protected.
- Honest trade-offs: first visits to new sites can take a moment longer while content is processed.

HOW IT WORKS

CloakID is a browser extension paired with a secure processing gateway hosted in the European Union. The extension presents websites with the persona; the gateway processes page content to support those protections. Infrastructure is EU-hosted with data minimization as an engineering principle.

WHAT CLOAKID DOES NOT DO
<ul><li>It does not mask your IP address and is not a VPN — pair it with the transport-layer tool of your choice.</li><li>It does not guarantee protection on unsupported sites — it shows you its real state instead.</li><li>It is in active development: some pages may render imperfectly under protection. Telling us is the fastest way to get them fixed.</li></ul>
CURRENT STATUS: PRIVATE DESIGN-PARTNER PILOT

CloakID is being used by a small, invited group of privacy-conscious professionals who shape it with direct feedback. Onboarding during the pilot is free.
