Jumbo is an iPhone and Android app that acts as a privacy dashboard, letting users connect accounts, change settings, delete old posts and archive content in a local Vault. The app can mimic JavaScript calls on web pages to perform actions not exposed via APIs and can regularly scan accounts to delete content older than user-set thresholds. Recent updates add background notifications, improved data‑breach monitoring via SpyCloud, simpler toggles and a DNS‑based tracker blocker that routes requests through a Jumbo‑managed profile. Jumbo offers a freemium model with paid tiers: Jumbo Plus (features include Instagram archiving, Alexa deletion, Reddit/Dropbox management and multi‑email breach tracking; $3–$8/month) and Jumbo Pro (LinkedIn management, expanded breach tracking and tracker blocker; $9–$15/month). The company emphasizes privacy-preserving design: archives remain on the user’s phone or optional iCloud/Dropbox backup, it says it does not store email addresses, assigns only a unique ID for push notifications, and has undergone security audits. Jumbo says it has funding through February 2022 and aims to attract 100,000 subscribers to reach profitability. Jumbo is a privacy assistant app that automatically adjusts about 30 Facebook privacy settings, archives and deletes old tweets locally, and can remove Google Search and Amazon Alexa history. The startup launched from stealth with an iPhone app (Android coming soon) and processes all data locally on users' phones rather than on its servers. Jumbo plans to add Instagram and Tinder cleanup, build Dropbox and iCloud connectivity for tweet exports, and introduce premium subscription and enterprise features following a Dropbox-style freemium strategy. Founder Pierre Valade (creator of Sunrise) leads a six-person team in New York. The company intends to open source parts of its stack to demonstrate it does not retain user data. Jumbo’s Facebook integrations currently act by scripting actions on the website where no APIs exist, a technique the company acknowledges could prompt platforms to block its integrations.
