The Privacy-First Initiative is committed to protecting millions every year—defending individual freedom in an age where
emerging technologies are too
often exploited by bad actors.
Through the Plunk Foundation Portal called Plunk, we prioritize the digital privacy of families, children, and veterans, giving them the
tools to protect what matters most.
The Privacy-First Initiative: 2025
Defending fundamental freedoms through the Plunk Portal:
At Plunk, we’re driven by one mission: protecting those who matter most—our children. In a world where every connection can be a potential threat, the Plunk Portal ensures that sensitive information remains in the right hands, safeguarded from the reach of bad actors.
How the Plunk Portal Protects Children:
Every year, ChildFund serves 30 million children—providing vital support for education, health, and well-being in communities around the world. Through a network of 120+ nonprofit organizations, they work tirelessly to improve lives.
However, this essential work often relies on insecure channels like messaging apps and email—channels vulnerable to human trafficking, data breaches, and the interception of aid. This is not just a technical challenge; it’s a matter of life and death.
Sensitive information about children and families must be protected from those who would exploit it. That’s where the Plunk Portal comes in. By enabling secure, end-to-end encrypted communication, the Plunk Portal ensures that the information shared between organizations stays private, safe, and out of the hands of those who wish to harm.
This tool is more than just a safeguard—it’s a fundamental solution to the crisis of data insecurity. With the Plunk Foundation, ChildFund and their network can now continue their vital work without fear. Sensitive data is protected, children are kept safe, and the work of 30 million lives continues—free from the threat of exploitation.
How the Plunk Portal Protects Survivors of Abuse:
For survivors of abuse, privacy isn’t just a right—it’s a lifeline. With 63% of survivors reporting tech-based abuse, protecting their digital privacy is critical to their safety.
Survivors rely on social workers and service providers for emotional support, safety planning, and access to resources like shelters, legal aid, and counseling. But too often, sensitive information is shared through insecure channels—leaving them vulnerable to cyberstalking and tech-based abuse.
The Plunk Portal provides a secure, encrypted space where survivors can share vital information safely. By partnering with the National Network to End Domestic Violence, we aim to ensure that privacy and protection are never compromised. With Plunk, survivors can take back control of their safety, free from the threat of exploitation.
How the Plunk Portal Protects Those Seeking Nonprofit Services:
For many, nonprofit organizations are a lifeline—providing vital services like mental health support, workforce training, shelter, education, medical relief, and more.
But when nonprofits share sensitive information with partners to deliver these services, that data is often at risk.
41% of nonprofits have been victims of cyberattacks, leaving individuals’ personal information exposed. Since many nonprofits aren’t bound by strict privacy laws, there’s a significant gap in protecting sensitive data.
The Plunk Portal changes that. By providing secure, end-to-end encrypted communication, the Plunk Portal ensures that sensitive information stays safe, allowing nonprofits to focus on what matters most: their mission.
With Plunk, both nonprofits and those they serve can work without fear—knowing their data is protected.
