Anonymous surfing and privacy protection. Anonymous internet transactions, cloaked ids, suppressed IP addresses.
The Secure Surfing Organization (SSO) is dedicated to providing tools, tips and sound advice on enjoying your computing experience in a safe, secure and effective way. The site is intended to be comprehensive, 
covering anonymous surfing and IP hiding, privacy and identity protection, anti-virus tools and recovery solutions. SSO also provides information on what security hardware and equipment everyone should have such as paper shredders, home safes, external hard drives and even security cameras. Too often “secure surfing” is coming to mean anonymous surfing or IP hiding. These are important, security extends well beyond your internet protocol address to the browser you use, the web sites you visit, the toolbox you employ in ensuring safety and stability.
We are particularly concerned with the need for parents to provide a safe environment for their children, and for small businesses to operate a secure and non-disruptive environment. But the Secure Surfing Organization is also strongly focused on the real need for all of us to have a positive experience — under our own control and subject to our own choices — while making use of what should be a wonderful technology for all of us — the internet.
This site will give you the power to ensure the internet is serving you and not secretly turning you into someone else’s servant. The Secure Surfing Organization will provide some very direct advice. We will provide you with many options for your computing and internet needs, but, we will direct you to those solutions that we know work. There are articles explaining why and how these tools work. And there is guidance for enjoying your internet experiences in as risk-free a way as possible.
There is free software on this site and paid software. The difference will be made plain as you review your options.
We are also pleased to enforce one of the tightest Privacy Policies in the world.

About the Publisher
Glenn Caleval is a marketing and business consultant with over three decades experience in online communications. Pre-dating general use of the internet, Caleval operated several BBS systems in the early 1980s through the 1990s. With his system “DataForce” he established one of the first satellite data downlink systems for open public use, erecting a 15 foot commercial C-Band dish in his Regina backyard and signing up with an American-based satellite data distribution company. He also served as the Network Echomail Coordinator for FidoNet, a globally distributed system that in fact constituted the “internet” before there was an internet.
Technology has been avocation for Caleval since purchasing his first personal computer in 1978. The machine produced by Texas Instruments used an external cassette tape recorder for storage and a television adapter for a monitor. It had 16 K of RAM.
For a day job, Caleval has been involved in public policy, agriculture and publishing. His interest in privacy and security issues grew from his affinity for technology and his experience and skills in government and marketing. Having occupied positions that involved the aggressive collection of personal information tuned him to the great potentials for abuse.
As Director of Government Research at the Saskatchewan Legislature, Caleval was an expert in Opposition Research, the discipline of learning every detail possible about groups of individuals opposing a government agenda, most notably the political opposition.
In the early 1990s after leaving his position as Director of Government Research, Caleval used his talents to greenfield a direct marketing business for a private corporation involved in massive personal data management.
Both positions required extensive list-building and complementary use of demographic data and opinion polling to profile neighbourhoods and whenever possible individuals of particular interest.
At the time these tasks were difficult and required extensive effort. To profile a single person demanded dedicated resources directed specifically at obtaining information about that person.
For the most part profiling was limited to the neighbourhood level and so there was limited possibility of abuse or privacy invasion. The biggest privacy concern in electoral politics was that candidates or their staff might misuse voters lists. How quaint that seems today.
Caleval became increasingly concerned as his work in building increasingly personal marketing strategies became increasingly easy. With the spread of technology, the advent of the internet and the social engineering by large corporate interests, privacy was and is increasingly at risk of becoming a polite fiction.
These factors led Caleval to launch the Secure Surfing Organization through his firm Walking Dolphins Consultancy Inc. as well as other initiatives to assist individuals and families protect their privacy and security.
