COAST COMPANY TAKES ON PRIVACY BREACHES
SURFERS Paradise tech company Anonyome Labs has been named a worldwide “cool vendor” for a new app that protects users’ privacy online.
Anonyome’s mobile app MySudo was dubbed one of the world’s top five by research and advisory company Gartner in its top five 2018 “Cool Vendors” report.
Technologies selected for the “Cool Vendors in Consumer Mobile Applications and Bots 2018” report have been identified as the year’s top emerging solutions for consumers featuring the best user experiences.
MySudo allows users to create unique personal identities, called Sudo, to call, text, and email safely and securely. Each Sudo identity can have a unique name, email, phone number and handle.
The company is also working on virtual credit cards for users, with all features working without having to reveal sensitive personal information.
The 2018 Gartner report said MySudo was cool because it put users in control of what data they shared online.
“This is particularly useful since at the moment the data trail that all users leave in their digital world is being stored, tracked, analysed and sometimes sold to the highest bidder,” the report said.
