Vivek Vaidya, Co-founder and CTO at Ketch

“Privacy compliance is not just a legal problem – it’s an engineering problem. Because at its core, regulatory compliance is about how you collect, organize, process, store, and use consumers’ data. We learned a lot of lessons as engineers building infrastructure to comply with these regulations, and we built Ketch as a gift to our former selves.”

“Responsible data practices have a significant and measurable impact on your bottom line”

“Data privacy requires comprehensive safeguards that recognize the inherent value and vulnerability of personal information.”

“We urgently need data infrastructure that allows data to flow freely through our economy but also leaves data subjects in full control over how their data is used.”

“Responsibly-gathered data will be the default. Data strategy will be considerate of consumer preferences.”
