Jumbo Privacy

Paris, Ile-de-France, France

Overview

Jumbo Privacy provides a mobile dashboard that lets users view, adjust, and automate privacy settings on platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Google, and Twitter, even deleting or archiving old posts locally in a secure on-device Vault. The company differentiates itself by operating like an on-device browser rather than relying on third-party APIs, ensuring actions stay private and under user control. After reaching only 25,000 paying subscribers and facing roughly 40% annual churn, Jumbo eliminated its premium paywall and now makes every feature free, supplementing the product with complimentary U.S. identity-theft insurance covering up to $25,000 (expandable to $1 million through referrals). The app also alerts users to data-breach exposures via SpyCloud’s database and encourages stronger security practices such as two-factor authentication. Jumbo now employs about 25 people after recent marketing layoffs and is pivoting toward a future B2B SaaS offering that could help employers improve employees’ personal-account security. Founder and CEO Pierre Valade believes the free model will accelerate user growth, which can later be monetized through corporate subscriptions. Despite the pivot, the company remains focused on “selling simplicity” in privacy and security management.
