Our vision

Privacy that works in production, not just on paper

We believe privacy should be proactive, not reactive. Instead of playing detective with cookies and trackers, organizations need automated workflows that monitor every line of code, data flow, and third party in real time. Our mission is to bring you instant visibility into what's actually happening on your websites and apps, with automated alerts and clear remediation steps. With Webclew privacy and product teams can focus on fixing real issues rather than chasing info or running theoretical assessments.

Meet the team

Privacy engineering meets software engineering

Webclew uniquely combines privacy expertise with deep technical capabilities to solve real-world privacy challenges that require both domains of expertise.

Founded in Belgium in 2023, Webclew was born from Thomas' frustration with repeating time-consuming audits that were out-of-date within days. After 8 years as a privacy engineer working with publishers, telcos, and retailers, Thomas knew there had to be a better way than playing detective with cookies and trackers.

Together with Dashdot, a venture studio that focuses on developing killer apps for early-stage startups and founders, the team built Webclew to give privacy teams proactive monitoring of every line of code, data flow, and third party across websites and mobile apps. Instead of chasing information or running theoretical assessments, privacy professionals get instant visibility into what's actually happening with automated alerts and clear remediation steps.

Start doing work that matters

Our philosophy is simple, to work great as a team every employee needs to be able to do their own thing, be comfortable and grow with our company. We prefer deep work over meetings. We prototype code rather than crafting mockups. Facts always trump opinions no matter your seniority. We choose independent ownership over management by committee. We prefer any desk you feel comfortable over fixed days at the office. We know great work can be done within 8 hours per day.

We finally have visibility in online tracking and a process for handling cookie compliance risks.
