Privacy policies and data request forms SHOULD be easy to find, but many companies hide them deep in their UI. Privacy hunt is a simple, free, crowd-sourced repository to reduce that to 1 click! 😁 Find a company, click on the link, and reclaim YOUR data. 🙌
If multiple services use Rownd, will I, as the end user, get to manage all my data from one central location? Would this mean that Rownd is acting as a data fiduciary?
@chrismessina great question! Yes, using our Personal Data Center, you (as an end user) can easily claim, manage, and edit, and even revoke access to multiple sites, in one place. We firmly believe the data is yours and that you have the right to "lease" or "lend" it to websites and apps.
For those that don't know what a data fiduciary is an intermediary between the data owner (user) and the data processor (the app). That is exactly what Rownd is doing!
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
My name is Robert Thelen and I lead the wonderful Rownd team. We are very excited to be launching The Rownd Data Privacy Platform on Product hunt!
Personal data belongs to us! It is our name, our address 📬 , our email 📧, our cell number ☎️, our birthdate 🎂, our MAC address 💻. The summation of that data is our identity! 🧑🦰👨🏽🌾👩🏽🏫👨🏻🍳🧑🏾🚀🧑🏻🚒🎅🏻👩🏾💻🧑🏿🎓🙋🏼
For too long, our data has been exploited, traded, and sold. This diminishes the value of something that we own. But through data privacy laws (like GDRP and CCPA) and rapidly changing consumer attitudes (just look at what happened to WhatsApp after their privacy policy edit) real data privacy and ownership is coming. Focus on your app, your project, your passion, not on personal data privacy.
We at Rownd believe EVERYONE deserves true individual data privacy, ownership, and security. We build the Rownd Data Privacy Platform to empower every app builder and business owner that agrees with us to turn their project or company into a data privacy-centric one.
A few months ago, we launched Privacy Hunt.
We started by putting the END-USER (the user of the app) at the very center of our platform. From how data is stored, to how the end-user can claim their data, we assume personal data belongs to the person.
We added a number of dev tools to make it easier to get started!
🚀 Developer centric platform, add your app and data types (and data governance) in minutes
🚀 Easy to use API and over 10 SDKs for the most popular languages
🚀 Secure and encrypted Rownd Data Vault with data stored from an end-user perspective
🚀 Plug and Play Personal Data Center: End users can claim, manage, edit, and even delete data (hello no more manual Data Subject Access Requests (DSAR))
Give your customers and users control and make the world a slightly better place! (And save yourself the headache of responding to DSARs- while you’re at it!)

Wanted to tell you a bit of WHY we built the Rownd Data Privacy Platform: There was no aha moment, it was more of a slow burn. We started as a connected car company that wanted to save lives by giving driving feedback, take turns slower, etc. But we also wanted to make sure the end user had comlete control over their data, since that much data can be dangerous. But, we found out that most of the people we interviewed thought they were above average drivers, but they really loved the data angle! At the same time, at my day job, I also worked with large enterprise clients that were just starting to extract personal data for gain. They knew so much it was like having a spy follow you around. All of this came to front when my duaghter was born! At that moment, I knew I wanted to build a world where she would not have corporations spying on her and she could have control over her personal data. So we started to build the Rownd Personal Data Center on nights and weekends.
Congrats on the launch! Just tried it out and really enjoyed the "try it out" button. As a non-developer, it was nice to be able to at least give it a whirl. Do you have any no code tools coming?
