Winston’s founder, Richard Stokes, was in the ad-tech industry for over a decade, most recently as the Global Head of Innovation for the media intelligence division of the world’s largest advertising agency. 

In that role, he saw the industry move to embrace new technologies that track, mine, and sell private information (imagine every song you like, every relationship, every purchase you make, and every secret you have being stored forever in the cloud). 

That was the beginning of the omnipresent surveillance state. Rich decided this was not a world that he wanted his children to grow up in. It all came down to one question…if he wasn’t the person to do something about it, then who would?

That’s where Winston comes in. 

 

We founded Winston Privacy with a clear mission: to help Internet users take back control over their personal information online

Comprehensive privacy is not only possible, but it’s also realistic. Our team is made of people with diverse technical backgrounds and skillsets, and deep knowledge of the state of online privacy.

Our founder is an engineer by training who left a career in advertising after seeing firsthand the increasing abuses of personal data that are taking place. 

At Winston, we’re not only building products that put the power back into your hands, but we’re also advocating for change.

Our team began the Winston journey by shipping about 100 beta and pilot units so that users could put our claims to the test. Now that we’re 100% sure Winston is ready for the market, we decided to turn to the Indiegogo community for support. 

We’ll use all of the funds from our Indiegogo campaign to fund manufacturing for a large scale order and get privacy to your home.

We can’t thank you enough for checking out our project and helping us make Winston a reality. 

You can also help us spread the word on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Instagram and anywhere else you can think of!
