Consumer devices with cameras and AI can now capture and identify you without your knowledge or consent. CloakDots is developing the tools to give you control over your own biometric identity.
Your biometric identity is being captured. Without Your knowledge.
Your biometrics are unique to you. Your face, your features, the way you are composed, there is no one else like you. That uniqueness is now being used to identify you, in real time, in the spaces you move through every day. Without your knowledge. Without your consent.
AI-enabled consumer devices, glasses, wearables, and cameras, can now identify you in seconds. Your social profile, everything publicly available about you, retrieved before a word is spoken. This technology already exists. Its availability is increasing rapidly.
CloakDots exists because your biometric identity belongs to you. Not to the devices around you. Not to the platforms behind them.
Autonomy begins with the simplest thing
The Human Connection
We are living through a period of technological change so rapid that the rules of human interaction are being rewritten before we have had a chance to agree to them. One of those rules, one of the oldest, is the right to introduce yourself. To choose what you reveal. To meet another person on equal terms. To decide when you are identified. That right is now at risk. Not from governments. Not from institutions. From the consumer devices in the room.
Before you speak. Before you choose. Before the moment of introduction has even begun, a device can already retrieve your social profile. The introduction you never gave. This is not a surveillance problem. It is a human one. CloakDots exists so that you stay in control of when you are identified. In every room. In every introduction. On your terms.
