# Privacy and Decentralization
Maybe I don't understand OpenID well enough, but it looks like there are just few providers, most
of which are huge companies or belong to such, and I don't trust them to verify me identity
or to not track all my logins. I'll use OpenID only if I can make my own home server
be my OpenID provider, and if doing so doesn't interfere with the design and security and
privacy of OpenID, and doesn't require me to use centrally-signed certificates or pay to some
company or anything like that.
Is it possible to use OpenID in a way keeping the user in full control and allowing any user to
have their personal provider without damaging the architecture behind OpenID?
I'm worried, at least until the issue is cleared.
