No Tracking Pixels or Beacons
Today's internet has become infested with hidden trackers — tiny “pixel beacons,” scripts, and device tracking tools designed to follow you without your knowledge.
As a Member Enterprise of The Authenticity Alliance, the operator of this website uses no tracking pixels, no beacons, and no covert identity-reporting mechanisms of any kind.
What is Authenticity™?
The word “Authenticity™” identifies a digital or physical space of “accountable anonymity” in which people enjoy both privacy for themselves and accountability from others.
Authenticity™ is the condition that exists in a space where there are
- Digital Signatures Everywhere backed by
- Measurably Reliable Identity Certificates that are
- Owned by their Users and which provide
- Privacy via Accountable Anonymity.

What is The Authenticity Alliance?
We are an Authenticity Growers Cooperative
Similar to familiar agricultural cooperatives in the physical world, The Authenticity Alliance is a network of enterprises and individuals whose purpose is to “grow” Authenticity and bring it to the digital world.
Each Authenticity Enterprise—that is, each Member Enterprise of the Alliance—solves a particular inauthenticity problem in its chosen target market or audience.
What Does The Authenticity Alliance Do?
The Alliance brings together independent enterprises that share a common mission: creating spaces of accountable anonymity where digital signatures, reliable identity certificates, and privacy protection work together to solve real-world inauthenticity problems.
WHO is the Authenticity Alliance?
The Authenticity Alliance is comprised of two groups working together to promote trust and transparency across digital ecosystems.
- Enterprises: Authenticity Enterprises that provide Authenticity solutions for the inauthenticity pains in a specific market or industry.
- Individuals: People who understand the problems of inauthenticity that plague the world’s information systems and who want to help implement and promote Authenticity™ principles.
