About Privara

Built to Keep
Private Data Private

Privara is a privacy intelligence API built for developers who take data protection seriously. We make PII detection, encryption, and tokenization simple, fast, and reliable.

Privacy shouldn't be
an afterthought

Every day, millions of messages containing names, emails, phone numbers, and financial data flow through applications with no protection. Developers know they should protect this data — but the tools to do so have always been too complex, too expensive, or too slow.

Privara changes that. We built a single API that detects PII automatically, encrypts or tokenizes it on the fly, and keeps a full audit trail — all in milliseconds. You focus on building. We handle the privacy.

This project was built as a capstone for SofiTech, with the goal of making enterprise-grade data protection accessible to any developer, any team, any scale.

Our Core Values

Everything we build is guided by these principles.

🔒
Security First
Every feature is designed with security as the baseline, not a feature. AES-256 encryption, automatic key rotation, and zero plaintext storage.
Developer Experience
A single REST API call is all it takes. No SDKs to install, no complex configuration. If it isn't simple, we haven't done our job.
👁️
Full Transparency
Every request is logged in a tamper-resistant audit trail. You always know what data was protected, when, and how.
🌐
Compliance Ready
Built with GDPR, HIPAA, and data minimization principles in mind. GDPR-compliant log retention with configurable data purging.
📈
Always Available
Deployed on resilient cloud infrastructure with PostgreSQL-backed storage. Built to be fast, stateless, and horizontally scalable.
🔄
Automatic Rotation
Encryption keys rotate every 3 minutes automatically. No manual key management, no forgotten rotations, no stale credentials.

A capstone project that became a real product

Privara started as a 4th-year capstone project — an attempt to answer a simple question: why is protecting PII still so hard in 2025?

After months of building, testing, and refining, what started as an academic exercise became a fully deployed, production-grade API with real encryption, real key management, and a real admin dashboard.

The mission is simple: make privacy-preserving development accessible to everyone.
