Atlanta, GA (Apr. 18, 2024) \u2013 Privacy4Cars, the first privacy-tech company focused on solving the privacy and security issues posed by vehicle data to protect consumers and automotive businesses, is pleased to announce the US Patent Office has approved three new patents.<\/p>\n
Two are novel areas of expansion for Privacy4Cars:<\/p>\n
The third patent is an expansion of the company\u2019s signature method to delete personal information stored in vehicles and to create records of deletion. This news cements Privacy4Cars\u2019 unchallenged leadership in the automotive privacy tech space. Hundreds of companies already rely on Privacy4Cars\u2019 AutoCleared\u2122 data deletion service \u2013 and its distinctive IP now includes six patents.<\/p>\n
The news of the expanded patent portfolio comes on the heels of Privacy4Cars\u2019 recent successful financing round. In December 2023<\/span>, Privacy4Cars secured a multi-million dollar debt facility with SaaS Capital, the leading provider of growth debt to software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies, to provide additional non-dilutive growth capital.<\/p>\n It comes at a pivotal time, as there has been an increased focus and action on the part of regulators to improve privacy in vehicles across the globe. This includes the first two laws to very specifically mandate a process to delete the personal information of consumers stored in vehicles exchanging hands.<\/p>\n \u201cAs vehicle technology evolves and new legislation emerges to protect consumers\u2019 privacy, the need to innovate \u2013 and advocate \u2013 for better privacy tools in the automotive space has never been greater,\u201d said Andrea Amico<\/span>, CEO and Founder, Privacy4Cars. \u201cThe issuance of these three new patents is a testament to our unwavering commitment to driving privacy. Through these new patents, we will be able to offer new privacy tools for consumers and auto businesses, alike.\u201d<\/p>\n Privacy4Cars\u2019 newly-awarded patents will fuel the expansion of its product offering, adding to its already robust suite of privacy tools. Its patented AutoCleared\u2122 has been used in nearly 1.5 million vehicles to efficiently manage, execute, and log the deletion of personal information from cars (phone numbers, call logs, location history, garage door codes, and more). Its Vehicle Privacy Report\u2122 tool is a first-of-its-kind solution for privacy disclosures and has been visited over 250,000 times through pure word of mouth. In March 2024<\/span>, Vehicle Privacy Report\u2122 smart labels had over 10 million impressions on participating dealership websites. Both services are free to consumers and offered as a solution for businesses seeking to grow trust, engagement, and compliance standards through privacy.<\/p>\n Since its launch in 2018, Privacy4Cars has emerged as the industry standard across auto finance companies, fleets and fleet management companies, and franchised and independent dealerships. Many of today\u2019s top organizations in the automotive space \u2013 including several OEM\u2019s captives and large dealer groups \u2013 have adopted the data deletion service powered by the Privacy4Cars platform, and a growing number of industry associations are speaking out about the need to clear personal information from cars, and tapping Privacy4Cars as a resource to educate members.<\/p>\n Privacy4Cars is the first and only privacy-tech company focused on the automotive ecosystem.
