Clarke for Activists & NGOs


Encryption for Those Who Speak When It’s Dangerous to Be Heard.

Sector Overview

Activists, advocacy groups, and non-governmental organizations operate in high-risk environments. Whether they’re fighting corruption, defending human rights, protecting the environment, or challenging powerful systems, these groups often face surveillance, censorship, and targeted data breaches.

Unlike corporations, they cannot afford expensive infrastructure. But they cannot afford to be unprotected either.

Clarke exists to fill that gap.

Threat Landscape for Activists

  • Government surveillance of emails, phones, and file uploads

  • Raids, confiscation of devices, or forced access demands

  • Cloud syncing accidentally exposing names, addresses, or evidence

  • International collaborators under different digital laws

  • Lack of IT support or in-house cybersecurity training

Why Clarke Works for Advocacy

  • Offline-first encryption: no internet? no problem.

  • Zero-knowledge architecture: we don’t know your files, keys, or sessions

  • Biometric unlock + passphrase fallback for trusted team access

  • No server storage = no central point of compromise

  • Clarke Emergency Vault Mode: fast session wipe in case of compromise (coming soon)

  • No accounts, no tracking, no telemetry

The Clarke Covenant for Defenders

Clarke will not cooperate with surveillance requests. If asked to compromise human safety, we will shut down. This is not a feature—it is our foundation.

The price of freedom should not be your files.

Clarke protects what you're fighting for—quietly, irreversibly, and always in your control.
