We «map» the digital device world! Roqad’s technology creates an accurate and up to date “map” of (almost) all digital devices used in a specific country. Linking all these devices correctly to individuals and households creates a rich “Identity Graph” powering the open Internet. “Identity as a service with German precision and global reach”. Roq.ad originally had two product lines. In 2018, we split the company in two separate entities and sold the larger, lower margin, part of our business to our largest customer. Since then we focused on the enterprise SaaS part of our business, delivering identity resolution products to our customers. We started the enterprise SaaS business in 2017 Germany, expanded to Europe in 2018 and launched in the US in 2020. Our teams are located in Berlin, Germany / Poznan, Poland / Vilnius, Lithuania and San Mateo / US.

Millions of 2SLGBTQ+ people around the world cannot safely access community life. Find support, get information, and find entertainment where they live. ProudZone is building the online neighborhood they deserve. We are a privacy-first ecosystem connecting 2SLGBTQ+ individuals with community, information, and support — safely and on their own terms. We have laid the first stone, establishing the technical and editorial standards that everything else will be built on. More services follow as we grow. Safety is not a feature for us. It is the foundation every decision is built on — from the technology we choose to the partners we work with. We are a small, international founding team spread across Germany, Canada, and Portugal.

UG in Germany and sensationCLICK Inc. in Canada. We are pre-seed, bootstrapped, and building deliberately. If you are looking for a place where your work has a direct impact on the safety and belonging of people who need it most — you are in the right place.

Every click, signup, purchase, and app download leaves behind a trail of personal data. Most people don't realize that hundreds of data brokers, advertisers, scammers, and AI-powered fraudsters can access, buy, or misuse this information. As identity theft, phishing, spam calls, deepfakes, and data breaches become everyday risks, privacy is no longer a luxury—it's a necessity. Wiseguard is your personal AI-powered privacy and identity protection platform. It continuously finds where your personal information is exposed online, removes it from data broker websites, protects your email and phone through smart aliases, blocks privacy threats, and gives you a simple Exposure Score that proves your digital risk is going down over time. Unlike traditional security tools that overwhelm users with features, Wiseguard focuses on one outcome: making you measurably safer every week. Wiseguard is your personal privacy bodyguard for the AI era. Wiseguard discovers where your personal data is exposed, removes it from the internet, and prevents future leaks before they happen. Get protected email and phone aliases, automated data broker removal, AI-powered threat monitoring, and real-time privacy insights. Track everything through a simple Exposure Score that shows your risk decreasing over time. No guesswork. No false sense of security. Just measurable privacy protection for you and your family.
