Hyper personalisation, without tracking

Most of your audience doesn’t want to be tracked. That costs you reach, engagement, and revenue.

Upod changes that: users bring their own data in their personal online datastore and share anonymous, consented access to validated demographics, preferences, and intent.

They keep their privacy. You get reliable insights back

Audience engagement depends on insight. Insights depend on consent

Cookie banners and strict privacy regulation make it harder than ever to understand who you’re reaching. Cookie blockers and non-consent make it harder than ever to monetize your audiences.

The impact: less personalisation, lower engagement, ineffective targeting, dropping CPMs, and shrinking margins.

Upod solves this by giving you direct, consent-based access to high-quality first person data, without tracking, and without dependency on Big Tech or rising costs for proprietary first party stacks.

Personalisation without exclusion. Growth without tracking

Users who say no to tracking or no to new account sign up still deserve relevant content and personal experiences.

With Upod you can (hyper)personalise experiences for 100% of your audience, not just the ones that accept all cookies or create an account for your site.

Win back your audience insights

Users share verified personal data from their own Personal Online Data storage (Upod).

Each session provides validated demographics and/or preferences and intent fully pseudonymised and fully consented.

Upod runs on the independent infrastructure of a personal datastore foundation (SNDK), ensuring that personal data always remains user-controlled, never commercially owned nor sold. Users are their own gatekeepers.

Utonomy unlocks this personal data on a per session level. Based on trust, not tracking.

A future-proof foundation for media

AI is reshaping how audiences read, listen, watch and engage information.

Upod helps publishers build and scale a new standard for the open web: relevance without surveillance, value without dependency and growth build on trust. Not personal data harvesting.
