Tails will never try to harm you or any of our users, as a core principle of our [social contract](https://community.torproject.org/policies/social_contract/). As part of that commitment, we have written this page to help you make an informed decision about whether you can trust Tails.
Known issues in Tails are described publicly in our [[!tails_gitlab tails/tails/-/issues desc="GitLab issue tracker"]]. We might hide embargoed security vulnerabilities in Tails while we work on a solution, but only as a way of protecting our users.
We provide [[strong and easy-to-use verification mechanisms|contribute/design/download_verification]] to make sure that our users are downloading a genuine copy of Tails.
Our downloads are [[reproducible|contribute/build/reproducible]] to make sure that the process of building the downloads from our source code was not altered by our own infrastructure.
