Company mission
Hazy's mission is to increase privacy and innovation by helping companies innovate with their data whilst also treating it responsibly.
Our take
Numerous data breaches have created a backdrop of increased consumer and corporate sensitivity. It is in this context that Hazy set out to build an anonymisation platform that helps companies speed up their innovation without risking their customers' data.
Synthetic data is generated from scratch but is based on the statistical properties of the real data. Hazy's synthetic data doesn’t contain any identifiable information, surpassing the privacy guarantees provided by anonymisation while maintaining the statistical quality.
Hazy advocates for the responsible and ethical use of data and at the same time helps businesses make the most of it. The trend of being responsible with data is unlikely to slow down, and Hazy should benefit from that trend if they can build products that deliver enough value to companies. It works with a number of banks and financial institutions, including Nationwide, to help them speed up innovation and get products and insights to market more quickly.
The company is using recent capital to grow its team, expand its capabilities and work with more customers in the financial sector and other regulated industries.
