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.

The software included in Tails is either written by us or inherited from
Debian and other Tor projects:

However, Tails, like Debian, includes closed source binary firmware in order to work on as much hardware as possible.
