FORTYEIGHT is building a vision for the future, for the people that care today
“I never realised what tech knew about me”
until I started using FORTYEIGHT Observer. It’s facinating to learn how websites change the content recommended to me in ways I never even realised was possible.

“GDPR is for politicians, FORTYEIGHT is for me.”
I get tired of all the apps asking for consent. I just want to know when they make a decision about me, so I can decide whether I care enough to do something about it.

“Everyone is talking about digital privacy”
but this is the first time I’ve seen an app that balances digital privacy with transparency that helps me understand the positive and negative effects of the technology I use every day.
