Principal Architect
Cloaked is a privacy startup dedicated to rebuilding consumer trust in how personal data is used. Our vision is to create an internet that serves the needs of its users, first and foremost—with individual privacy and opt-in at the core. Our product is a virtual “cloak” that you use as you visit any website — Facebook, Amazon, etc. It lets you choose to share all, some, or none of your private information based on your personal preference.
$250,000 - $300,000 semi monthly
Cloaked is creating the first ever consumer based privacy eco-system that offers complete data ownership, without sacrificing user experience.
