- **Founded**: 2015
- **Founders**: Chandler Givens and Ryan Flach

## Products & Services
- **TrackOFF Privacy Software**: Desktop and mobile applications that block online tracking, prevent data collection, and protect against identity theft. Available for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not disclosed (acquisition price not publicly reported)
- **Annual Revenue**: Approximately $8 million (2025 estimate from RocketReach) – conflicting reports; $2.5 million reported in 2019 by the Baltimore Sun at time of acquisition, and $2M from other sources.
- **Total Funding**: ~$1 million (Seed Round in 2017 led by Blu Venture Investors, and a subsequent Venture Round in 2018)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Blu Venture Investors (lead investor); Parent company: Avast Software s.r.o. (global cybersecurity firm)
- **Growth Signals**: Acquired by Avast (one of the world's largest consumer cybersecurity firms) in 2019 — a major exit for a Baltimore startup. Currently employs 5 people (per RocketReach, though previously reported 25 employees in 2019). Active hiring in 2026 (Front End Engineer, Senior iOS Engineer, Application Developer roles posted).
