Overview

Ethyca is a privacy engineering platform that enables companies to build privacy and data governance into their technology infrastructure. The company's flagship product, Fides, is an open-source privacy engineering platform that helps organizations manage data privacy compliance across regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and other global privacy laws. Ethyca serves as a critical infrastructure layer for companies that need to operationalize privacy compliance, offering tools for data mapping, consent management, privacy request automation, and data governance. While not a traditional AdTech company, Ethyca plays an important role in the advertising technology ecosystem by helping AdTech platforms, publishers, and marketers manage consent, respect user privacy preferences, and comply with increasingly stringent privacy regulations. The company's solutions enable AdTech companies to maintain compliant data practices while continuing to deliver personalized advertising experiences. Ethyca has positioned itself at the intersection of privacy technology and developer tools, offering both open-source and commercial solutions. Ethyca has raised venture funding and serves enterprise customers across various industries, including technology, media, and e-commerce companies that handle significant amounts of consumer data.
