Mozilla has announced the acquisition of Anonym, a data management startup specializing in targeted online advertising that preserves user privacy. Founded in 2022 by former executives of Meta, Anonym’s solutions involve analyzing data from advertising platforms and advertisers to identify targeted individuals, similar to conventional advertising systems. However, Anonym operates in a secure environment, utilizing techniques to anonymize data and insert noise algorithms to prevent personal identification of ad viewers.
Mozilla stated that this acquisition will integrate Anonym’s technology into their products (details undisclosed) with the goal of advancing the advertising industry while enhancing user privacy. The aim is to maintain user privacy while ensuring effective advertising targeting as before.
TLDR: Mozilla acquires Anonym to leverage their technology for improved advertising targeting and user privacy.
