PrivacyHawk is a firm that provides a personal data manager that aims to allow individuals to take back control of their personal data thus mitigating fraud, identity theft, hacks, and scams.
PrivacyHawk CEO and co-founder Aaron Mendes said that personal data is one of the most valuable things we have, but there is an enormous risk of fraud, identity theft, and more.
“PrivacyHawk is building a future where people’s data can be automatically protected from falling into the wrong hands by reducing their digital footprints.”
PrivacyHawk offers personal data protection by utilizing “robotic process automation” and advanced technology, says CTO and co-founder Justin Wright. He said they are working toward a future where everyone has control of their personal data.
PrivacyHawk said it would use some of the funds to incorporate more automation and the use of AI to help identify digital footprint vulnerabilities and optimize the ability to remove those exposures.
