The Path to Privacy
Active privacy is a journey. You can run through all the tutorials and technology recommendations that others have posted, but you will find the best progress by taking things incrementally.
One good place to start on a new path toward personal privacy is The New Oil. This is an excellent website that lays out important privacy-enhancing steps.
You can also reference Privacy Guides for recommended tools.
From there, it will seem like a mountain of things need to be done. Sometimes the necessary steps will fatigue you. But keep picking at it, piece by piece. Do not get discouraged, you will be better off than you were when you started.

Fighting for Basics
Isn't it odd that we must fight for information about ourselves to not be taken from us?
This site was started to help outlining some concepts, practical applications, and insights into securing your own personal privacy, a basic human right.
Each individual is continually engaged in a personal adjustment process in which he balances the desire for privacy with the desire for disclosure and communication of himself to others, in light of the environmental conditions and social norms set by the society in which he lives.
