Our Philosophy · Rooted deep in our DNA

Our Philosophy: Security begins
within.

As a feeling of calm. As the freedom to be yourself.

Founded 2004

Security you can
feel.

Since 2004, Protectstar™ has been creating security you can feel—security that inspires confidence: clear, understandable, and human-centered.

Shaping Security
more than a motto.

It is our promise: protection that empowers you – without demanding your attention.

Protection that works in the background and makes a visible difference.

We believe in
simplicity.

Our apps are built by teams that put quality first. We translate technology into clear experiences –

with thoughtful design, deliberate care, and proven principles.

We believe in transparency
decisions you can understand.

Explainable decisions. Technology you can understand.

Where it makes sense, we have our work independently reviewed by institutes such as AV‑TEST and the App Defense Alliance / DEKRA (MASA L1).

We believe in independence
privacy without compromise.

For privacy without compromise.

Less friction.
More protection.

Our infrastructure follows the same principle: ISO 27001‑certified data centers in Germany, energy-efficient architecture, powered by renewable energy.

Security is a right, not a luxury. That is why we work to make first-class protection accessible to everyone. Simple, fair – and as private as possible.

When you put users at the center and make security as simple and strong as possible, you create something magical: people feel free, not unsettled.
Chris Bohn Founder & CEO · Since 2004
Our Stance

We live and breathe protection,
not attention.

No advertising-based business model.

No selling data.

No hidden agendas.

Our goal: Protection for 1 cent a day.

Today: 1.6 cents.

In the end, it is about you

Three promises.
One human being.

Your

freedom.

Privacy without compromise. No ads. No hidden agendas.

Your

privacy.

Protection that works in the background and makes a visible difference. Clear, understandable, human-centered.

Your

time.

Technology that simply works – without overwhelming you or demanding your attention.

In the end, it is about YOU.

Your freedom.
Your privacy.
Your time.
