"We Care About Your Privacy" — Then Why Is Facebook Watching?
At Wysor, we take privacy at the root of our product. Being GDPR compliant is our baseline, not our limit.
We built Wysor because we couldn't find an alternative that truly respected user privacy. There are products out there that market themselves as privacy-oriented. We looked at them. And when we looked closer, we found the same thing on nearly all of them: tracking pixels and advertising tags quietly running in the background.
Here's what that means for you.
What happens when you visit most websites
When a company puts advertising trackers on their website, they're giving Google and Meta a direct window into your life. Your location. Your email. Your behavior on the site — what you clicked, how long you stayed, what caught your attention.
That data doesn't just sit there. It gets sold. A digital profile of you is built in the background — who you are, what you're interested in, what you might buy next. Advertisers pay to access that profile. And suddenly you're seeing ads that seem to know exactly what you were thinking about last week.
This is the industry standard. It's how most of the internet works. And it happens on websites that proudly display their GDPR compliance badges.
We fundamentally disagree with this approach.
What we do differently
We run ads. We're a company — we need to reach people and we need to know if our ads are working. That part is no different from anyone else.
The difference is what happens when you actually visit our website.
Most companies let Google and Facebook see who visits their site, what they look at, and what they do. In return, those ad platforms help the company target their ads better. It's a trade — your data for their ad performance.
We didn't make that trade.
When you visit Wysor, Google and Facebook don't know you're here. If you sign up, we tell the ad platform that their ad worked. But we only share that something happened — not who you are, not what you did, not where you went on our site.
Your visit is between you and us. That's it.
Why most companies don't do this
Honestly? Because the easy way works fine for them.
The standard tracking pixel is a copy-paste. What we built takes real engineering effort. It also means we give up data that would make our ads cheaper and more targeted. We know that. We accepted it.
For most companies, the calculation is simple: better tracking means cheaper ads means faster growth. Privacy is what they write about on the blog. Growth is what they actually optimize for.
We don't think you should have to pay for someone else's growth with your personal data.
This goes deeper than our website
The way we handle advertising is part of something bigger. Privacy at Wysor isn't a policy document or a marketing message. It's an engineering decision we make every single day.
Your AI conversations are protected by binding legal agreements with every provider we work with. Your data is never used to train AI models. Not as a setting you can toggle. As a contract they're legally bound to honor. Read how that works →
Your voice notes are transcribed directly on your device. The audio never leaves your phone. There's no server in between. We can't access your recordings because we never receive them.
Your emails are processed under dedicated data protection agreements that prohibit storage, training, and human review by any AI provider.
And your visit to our website doesn't generate a single byte of data for an advertising company.
The difference between compliance and conviction
GDPR compliance is important. We take it seriously and we follow it fully. But let's be honest about what compliance actually means: it means you show a cookie banner, you let people opt out, and you document your data flows.
That's the legal minimum. And it still allows a company to send your data to advertising networks the moment you click "Accept."
We didn't build Wysor to meet the minimum. We built it because we believe your data shouldn't end up with companies whose entire business model is built on selling access to your attention. Not by default. Not after consent. Not at all.
That's not a marketing position. That's how we built the product.
