Controlled exposure
Privacy controls should let people choose what an access state reveals instead of forcing a binary refusal.
About Liberty Lock
Privacy for the moment
access changes.
Liberty Lock exists to explore a gap in ordinary smartphone security: protection at rest does not always provide control over what becomes visible after access is granted.
Why this exists
A smartphone concentrates a person’s private life into one surface.
Messages, identity documents, financial access, photographs, work material, and recovery information can all sit behind the same ordinary unlock action.
Liberty Lock is designing an additional control layer for that problem. The aim is not to replace platform security. It is to make exposure more deliberate through protected and secondary access states.
The mobile product remains in development. Its architecture targets are public here so they can be judged against the eventual implementation.
Principles
Three ideas guide the product.
Predictable response
A prepared action should behave consistently even when connectivity and attention are limited.
Narrow visibility
The company should avoid receiving protected information it does not need to operate the service.
