Message from Our CEO

“We need to see innovation among technology teams and an industry wide move to build ‘private by design’ spaces that offer an alternative to the persuasive technologies and user manipulation techniques that focus only on monetizing user data at the expense of privacy.”

– Joel Wallenstrom, CEO
