Your money and your health are the most private things you keep. A Sovereign Node is a low-power mini PC that sits in your house, runs all the time, and belongs to you outright. Your records stay on it, not in an app that needs your health and your spending to make its money. You log in from your own computer, phone or tablet, and reach it through the Relay when you’re away. That connection is encrypted from your phone to your box, and the Relay can’t read it.

• Encrypted from your phone to your box. Away from home, you reach it through the Relay. The connection is sealed on your phone and only your box can open it — the Relay passes it along and can’t read it.
• No one is paid by your data. No ads, no ad revenue, nothing collected, shared or sold. There is no business here that needs your information.
• It isn’t wired into anything else. No link to your email, your social accounts or a search assistant. A doctor’s appointment in your calendar doesn’t turn into an advert for medication.
• Not on the family computer. Your money and your health records don’t sit on the machine everyone games and browses on.
• You own the hardware. It plugs into your router — one small box, that’s the install — and you can unplug it whenever you want.
