The Story Behind Private Phone Shop
For more than a decade, we have been at the forefront of mobile operating system customization. What began as a shared passion project for enhancing Samsung tablets and LG smartphones with CyanogenMod for better performance and functionality has evolved into a mission-driven venture dedicated to digital privacy.
The digital landscape changed dramatically by 2020. As major tech companies intensified their data collection practices and content policies during the pandemic and presidential election, our family made a personal pivot toward complete digital independence. We installed a Google-free version of LineageOS on our devices and migrated from our 16-year-old Gmail account to ProtonMail's secure platform.
This transition resonated with our community. Friends and neighbors began approaching us for help with their own "de-Googling" projects, revealing a clear market need: privacy-conscious consumers wanted alternatives but lacked the technical expertise to implement them independently.
Private Phone Shop was established as a family-owned business in early 2021. We operate with the personal touch that only a small, independent company can provide. While we maintain other professional commitments, our family's passion has become helping everyday users discover that privacy-respecting technology isn't just for specialists. We take pride in offering personalized solutions that preserve both personal data security and communication freedom in an increasingly restricted digital ecosystem.
As a family business, we're invested in each customer's satisfaction and privacy journey. Let us handle the technical complexity so you can enjoy both modern mobile convenience and peace of mind.
