Why We Started, and What We’re Building
Our vision is to contribute to a long-term societal shift:
where people of all ages are empowered to navigate digital life with agency, where businesses prioritize trust and ethics, and where privacy is no longer treated as an afterthought, but as a shared cultural value.

Our principles
Our goal is to reshape existing digital norms, ensuring data privacy is a shared responsibility
- Empowering Through Creative DoingWe believe that real understanding comes from active engagement. That's why we create opportunities for people to explore privacy and digital wellbeing through interactive workshops, printable toolkits, and even art exhibitions. By turning complex concepts into tangible experiences, we make privacy personal, actionable, and achievable for all.
- Interdisciplinary CollaborationWe believe privacy is too complex to solve from a single angle. That’s why we work across disciplines, bringing together creatives, educators, tech professionals, privacy and security experts. This mix of perspectives helps us design more meaningful, user-friendly experiences that connect with people in everyday life.
- Future ThinkingBy applying creative methods and imagining "how might be" scenarios, we explore potential futures and address the challenges ahead. At Boxfish Labs, we see a future where privacy is a natural part of our digital lives, allowing people to feel confident and in control.
- Ethical ResponsibilityWe advocate for a future where privacy, a fundamental human right, is built into technology, not treated as an afterthought. We are committed to digital ethics principles, ensuring that technology respects human dignity, fairness, and transparency. Our goal is to develop tools that would help businesses prioritize user rights over profits while making critical decisions. We challenge unethical design practices, and raise critical questions about ethics in the digital world.
- Participatory ApproachWe believe in giving people a voice in how their data is handled. By using collaborative and participatory methods, we empower individuals to take control of their information. Through education initiatives, co-creation workshops, open discussions, and inclusive design prototypes, we work to build a future where privacy is an essential aspect of democracy, a shared responsibility and a fundamental right for all.
From Small Steps to Systemic Change
