Trust in Data & Technology
Over a year ago, we quietly started working on an engineering problem that is painful for developer teams everywhere. At the same time, it’s vital for the safety of every user of the internet and data-powered businesses.
We’re incredibly excited to share Ethyca with the world!
Over a year ago, we quietly started working on an engineering problem that is painful for developer teams everywhere. At the same time, it’s vital for the safety of every user of the internet and data-powered businesses.
Everyone is talking about data privacy, breaches, system safety/integrity, and regulation. Businesses articulate this as fear of fines with the knee jerk reactions to search for a quick ‘bandaid’ – all while trying to avoid several risks.
A Better Way
As developers, the friction introduced in CI/CD and the additional human overhead needed to manage data privacy is Sisyphean without any tangible improvement in the end user’s data safety.
As people who work in technology, we found it disappointing. Our talented industry, particularly those companies that have seen ‘hockey stick’ growth curves on their user bases and untold financial gains, are not taking their users’ needs more directly to the heart.
We believe there has to be a better way. One that minimizes friction for developer and product teams while maximizing the privacy controls in place around user data. We also believe the solution to better user privacy is not just regulations but code.
Our Mission
To increase trust in the internet and data-driven businesses. We strive to benefit developer teams and end-users equally.
Our team of engineers, product designers, and data privacy specialists have worked to disassemble and interpret privacy regulations in Europe (GDPR), California (CCPA), and Brazil (LGPD). Additionally, we’ve tackled many draft privacy regulations that are in review globally.
What We Do
We create infrastructure and elegant abstractions that manage privacy requirements as code that easily integrates with your existing tech stack.
We’re excited to invite our first Beta Developer teams and Pilot Customers to trial two versions of our infrastructure and eager to get your collective feedback. We’re confident we already have the most comprehensive technology solution to data privacy. We’ll continue to iterate and improve rapidly in the coming months and years.
With Ethyca, you can trust in data.

Ethyca’s Second P.x Session: From 0 to Full DSR Automation in 15 Minutes
Read MoreEthyca hosted its second P.x session with the Fides Slack Community earlier this week. Our Senior Software Engineer Thomas La Piana gave a live walkthrough of the open-source privacy engineering platform, Fides 2.0. He demonstrated how users can easily deploy Fides and go from 0 to full DSR automation in less than 15 minutes. If you weren’t able to attend, here are the three main points addressed during the session.
Consent Management in Fides 2.0
Read MoreIntroducing consent management in Fides 2.0. With the coming state privacy laws in 2023, your business needs to have granular control over users’ data and their consent preferences. Learn more about how Fides can enable this for your business, for free.
Key Points From Ethyca’s First P.x Session
Read MoreEthyca launched its privacy engineering meetup, P.x, where Fides Slack Community members met and interacted with the Fides developer team. Two of our Senior Software Engineers, Dawn and Steve, gave presentations and demos on the importance of data minimization, and how Fides can make data minimization easier for teams. Here, we’ll recap the three main points of discussion.
Seen And Heard At SOUPS 2022
Read MoreWe enjoyed two great days of security and privacy talks at this year’s Symposium on Usable Privacy and Security, aka SOUPS Conference! Presenters from all over the world spoke both in-person and virtually on the latest findings in privacy and security research.
How Do Software Engineers Feel About Data Privacy?
Read MoreAt Ethyca, we believe that software engineers are becoming major privacy stakeholders, but do they feel the same way? To answer this question, we went out and asked 337 software engineers what they think about the state of contemporary privacy… and how they would improve it.
Convenience Is Not The End-Goal Of Privacy Legislation—In The UK Or Anywhere
Read MoreThe UK’s new Data Reform Bill is set to ease data privacy compliance burdens on businesses to enable convenience and spark innovation in the country. We explain why convenience should not be the end result of a country’s privacy legislation.
