EFF which companies protect your data

The Foundation (EFF) today released a handy graphic that lets you know which of the most important companies in the tech world are protecting your data from government data handover requests. Like most technical problems, the issue is not simple.eff

However, the EFF list ranks five in an effort to educate consumers about the companies that share their data.

The points s that the EFF examined were:

The company follows best practices across the industry: It issues the Authority's requests, requires a warrant before disclosing the of users in and publishes a transparency report.
He informs them on government requests: Companies committed to providing their customers with information about pending data handover requests.
Promises not to sell user data: Definitions vary, but usually revolve around using data, from for surveillance purposes.
Companies that disputed NSL orders before applying.
When companies are under NSA online surveillance.

The list below is by no means comprehensive, but it does include most of the tech companies you use regularly - 26 in total.

Adobe, the dropbox and others achieved top results while companies such as and AT&T are very insecure as you would expect.

Each of the points mentioned above comes from a larger exposure, ‘Who Has Back? 2017: Protecting Your Data From Government Requests,’ , which you can see from here (PDF).
