Privacy engineered into the product.

GDPR, CCPA and emerging privacy regulation handled the way they should be — by engineering, not legal alone. DSAR automation, consent infrastructure, data mapping, retention, deletion done correctly.

§ 01The problem

The problem we solve

Privacy work is mostly delegated to legal, who write policies the engineers don't read. The result is a public-facing privacy statement and a product that quietly violates it. We close that gap — building the systems that turn the policy into reality: DSAR fulfilment, consent capture and enforcement, retention and deletion, vendor data flow.

§ 02Capabilities

What we ship

  • 01Data mapping: what data, where, who has access, why
  • 02DSAR automation: access, deletion, portability requests handled in software
  • 03Consent management: capture, propagation, enforcement
  • 04Data retention and automated deletion
  • 05Sub-processor and vendor data-flow tracking
  • 06Cookie compliance done correctly (not just the banner)
  • 07PII discovery and redaction in logs and analytics
  • 08Cross-border transfer mechanism setup
  • 09Privacy-by-design review of new features

§ 06Process

How an engagement runs

  1. 01

    Data map

    Where personal data lives, why, who touches it. Often the first time anyone has this written down.

  2. 02

    DSAR & deletion

    Automated handling for access, deletion and portability requests integrated into your systems.

  3. 03

    Consent & retention

    Consent captured, propagated, enforced. Retention rules implemented in the database, not the policy.

  4. 04

    Continuous

    Privacy review built into your feature shipping process, not bolted on quarterly.

§ 07Engagement

How to engage

01

Privacy Audit

2 weeks

Data map and gap analysis with prioritized remediation.

02

DSAR & Consent Build

6 — 12 weeks

Automation and infrastructure implemented end-to-end.

03

Privacy Retainer

Ongoing

Privacy review for new features and ongoing maintenance.

§ 08Common questions

Frequently asked.

01Isn't this our legal team's job?

Legal owns policy. Engineering owns the systems that make policy real. Most privacy failures are engineering gaps — we fix those.

02Does this work for CCPA too?

Yes, and most emerging US state laws. The underlying engineering — data mapping, DSAR, retention, consent — is the same across frameworks.
