Launched in 2021, Cypaw is a mobile privacy app that helps people clean up their digital footprint. The average person has over 350 online accounts – this would take up to 30 hours to sort, manage, and clean. Using Cypaw, this reduces to as little as under an hour.
Cleaning your digital footprint is incredibly important. Companies will often hold onto your data for years, increasing your chance of having your information leaked in a data breach.
About the Founders
– Adam Pritchard, CEO and Co-Founder
I was sick and tired of not feeling in control of my email inbox looking like it was owned by marketing companies rather than myself. It got to a point where only 1% of my incoming emails were items that I actually wanted… I started to unsubscribe, but this process seemed to be different for each website and many seemed to ignore my request. After being in a data breach for a website I no longer used and had already ubscribed from, I realised that I needed to go a step further.
Dark Patterns. Companies don’t want to delete your data – your data is valuable to them so they make it as complicated as possible to practice your privacy rights. This didn’t sit well with me, which is why I founded Cypaw – a simple, easy to use mobile app that makes the process of cleaning your digital footprint as easy as possible.
– Ryan Bosley, COO and Co-Founder
I have always been passionate about new tech and an advocate for online privacy. The real pain point for me was not having a simple way to view all of the websites I had signed up for over the years. I would spend endless hours combing through my email address to try and discover just how widespread my personal data had become. So I started Cypaw to help create a tool that could make this process as easy as possible and most importantly so that anyone could do it.
Cypaw has and always will be built with our user’s best interests at heart. I strongly believe in trying to do my part in making sure people’s personal data remains personal.
