Proud of our team for taking the podium at Le Mans!

Even if you haven't bought one of our products, odds are pretty good you've used one of the many gadgets built by our senior product design engineer David Guasca. osomprivacy.com/chronicles/sen…

In episode 3 of Privacy is OSOM, we chat with analyst @mweinbach about Apple's privacy practices — as well as how working there can make for some pretty weird parties. Available now most places you get podcasts and with video on YouTube. youtu.be/hZRSclLD6oM

From all of us at OSOM: Happy 4/20. (It's the anniversary of our company's founding, among other holidays.)

Finally got a chance to use the @OsomPrivacy USB cable with data cutoff switch. Allows you to select either data+charging or charging-only modes. Not that I was too worried about scrapers/juice-jacking on today's Delta flight, but ... good idea for a product, regardless! 😄 (Sample provided by OSOM.)

Tune in for episode 2 of the Privacy is OSOM Podcast — now available with video! Host @MarySRoss18 and OSOM's @J909 join guest @joejerome to chat about KOSA. Available now on YouTube and most places you listen to podcasts. youtube.com/watch?v=ZGPKkO…

Companies don't care about your privacy and, so far, governments don't care too much either. Stories like this are WHY we exist: theverge.com/2024/2/22/2408…

Web apps/PWAs are inherently more privacy-respecting than native apps: Apps are based on trust, but browsers are based on distrust. So, if you support an open privacy-respecting web, lend your support against Apple's attempts to destroy all of that. open-web-advocacy.org/apple-attempts…

@TechEvolvedDad Stay tuned!

@OsomPrivacy are y'all working on Android 14 for the Saga?

@htsuka We were happy to have you! Hope to see you on the show again soon.

Thanks for having me on your inaugural episode!

It's more than a marketing term — or, at least, it should be. Tune in to learn more about the history of privacy by design and what legislators, companies, and customers can do to make a dent in their privacy.

In our first episode, host Mary Ross (OSOM Chief Privacy Officer, former CIA and house intelligence committee counsel, architect of the California Consumer Privacy Act) joins Dave Evans and the @EFF's Assoc. Dir. of Legislative Activism @htsuka to chat about "privacy by design."

Today is Data Privacy Day. In addition to changing your passwords and registering for passkeys or 2FA support, consider tuning into our brand new podcast: Privacy is OSOM! Available most places you can listen to Podcasts — and more coming soon youtube.com/watch?v=sodFsG…

You can read the full news on our blog here, and more to announce soon! osomprivacy.com/chronicles/oso…

And, our Type-C cable is available in a matching design: amazon.com/dp/B0C41BW4N8

We paid attention to your feedback, and this version of the cable can be used with older and more common chargers, charging stations, and ports, allowing you to disable USB data with the flick of a switch when you need to.

Excited to announce that our popular Privacy Cable is now available in a USB Type-A version. New port, same data-disabling functionality, same price. amazon.com/dp/B0CPZFZC4G

In today's Employee Spotlight Interview, OSOM's Jan Altensen talks about BSP work, his love of Exynos documentation, and real engineering — while digging up critical Chromecast vulnerabilities in his spare time. osomprivacy.com/chronicles/sen…
