Private location awareness

Like a fingerprint, a person’s movements through the world are unique. We have created a way to use this location behavior to create a unique anonymous identity that provides a balance between privacy and security. We call this private location awareness.

Our global story

Incognia is a privacy-first, innovator in location technology. We are headquartered in Palo Alto, with teams in the San Francisco Bay Area, New York, and Brazil. Today 100M+ devices leverage our location technology.

We enable the use of anonymized location data to increase account security, reduce fraud, and deliver private location context aware services. Incognia’s location technology uses network signals and on-device sensors to deliver highly precise location information without capturing any PII. By building an anonymous behavioral pattern, unique for each user, Incognia provides location context and creates a private digital identity for account security.

Companies with mobile apps and connected devices use Incognia to deliver secure frictionless experiences through adaptive authentication, private location context aware services, frictionless user ID verification, background authentication, risk assessment and fraud detection, all while protecting user privacy.
