Company mission
Jumbo's mission is to give users back control of their privacy, protect sensitive data, and to ultimately give greater peace of mind.
Our take
Jumbo is a privacy app for iOS and Android looking to provide a sense of data ownership to the over 6 billion smartphone users across the globe. It acts as a privacy and security assistant that protects users from a number of risks like data breaches, tracking, and unsafe networks, as well as a hub from which online accounts can be monitored.
Jumbo’s coverage is comprehensive even on the cheaper Plus tier, and the Pro option even scans the dark web for sensitive user data like social security and credit card numbers. This kind of expressly user-serving app is a welcome reprieve from the dizzying number of privacy and security vulnerabilities internet users are exposed to daily.
The smartphone user demographic is becoming increasingly wise to the surveillance economy facilitated by devices, and a correspondingly strong appetite is registering for transparent tech that returns some sovereignty to users. Nevertheless, Jumbo are perhaps wisely focusing on product refinements as opposed to growth. This will help them maintain the integrity and quality of offering that must be at the heart of any trusted security service.
