Disconnect provides a privacy intelligence platform that continuously crawls billions of web requests, mobile app binaries, and email artifacts to identify trackers, fingerprinting scripts, and data‑sharing relationships. The service delivers real‑time protection lists, an entity‑mapping database, and API‑driven risk scores that can be integrated into browsers, VPNs, MDMs, DNS filters, and security tools for enterprise compliance and consumer tracker blocking.

Problem
Consumers and organizations lack visibility into the pervasive tracking and data‑collection mechanisms embedded in websites, mobile apps, and email, exposing individuals to profiling, hyper‑targeted attacks, and regulatory risk. Existing tools are fragmented, outdated, or require extensive manual configuration, making large‑scale privacy risk management impractical.
Solution
Disconnect operates a privacy intelligence engine that continuously crawls and analyzes billions of web requests, app binaries, and email artifacts to identify trackers, fingerprinting scripts, and data‑sharing relationships. The platform delivers real‑time, structured intelligence through up‑to‑date tracker protection lists, an authoritative entity‑mapping database, and a signal‑intelligence repository of proprietary heuristics. Customers can consume this data via a RESTful API, integrate pre‑built protection lists into browsers, VPNs, MDMs, or DNS filters, or use specialized “App X‑ray” and “Web X‑ray” services for deep asset inspection. The solution provides automated risk scoring, compliance reporting, and customizable controls that enable enterprises to protect employees and regulators to verify data‑handling practices, while individuals receive one‑click tracker blocking and optional encrypted VPN routing.
Target Audience
Primary customers are enterprise security, compliance, and IT teams that need to protect employees and meet privacy regulations, as well as privacy‑conscious consumers seeking automated tracker blocking and encrypted browsing.
Features
- Large‑scale custom crawlers that process tens of millions of websites, apps, and email messages daily, generating terabytes of raw telemetry.
- Real‑time tracker protection lists covering 100s of millions of domains, updated continuously to block advertising, analytics, social, and fingerprinting trackers.
- Entity‑mapping engine that resolves ownership hierarchies for domains, SDKs, and third‑party services, supporting vendor‑risk assessments and supply‑chain security.
- Signal‑intelligence database with proprietary heuristics, script detection, and fingerprinting signatures, exposed via searchable API endpoints.
- App X‑ray service that decompiles, instruments, and dynamically analyzes iOS/Android binaries to surface sensitive file exposure, credential leakage, and SDK usage.
- Web X‑ray service that visualizes data flows, cookie usage, and third‑party request graphs for any URL in seconds.
- Competitive intelligence feeds that benchmark tracking practices, SDK adoption, and network relationships across peer groups.
- Easy integration options: browser extensions, DNS filtering, MDM policies, cloud security platforms, and VPN solutions, all configurable via REST API or SDKs.
