• Scan your data silos for PII to maintain an up-to-date data map.
• Automate user data deletion & right-to-know requests with our pre-built SaaS, DB, and warehouse automators. Are we missing a data silo that you use? Build your own automator easily, or make an issue if you'd like us to do so.
• Stay compliant with existing (GDPR, CCPA, etc.) and emerging (CPRA, Virginia, etc.) regulations.
• Coming soon: cookie banners, CRM connectors, analytics tool connectors, and more!
• For RoPA generation, audit trails, teams, and more, sign up for our Monoid Cloud (beta).

See our docs for a more thorough introduction to Monoid.

1. Generate an encryption key with openssl rand -base64 32.
2. Run ENCRYPTION_KEY=[key generated in the previous step] docker compose up.

Monoid Cloud is available here! Contact [email protected] if you'd like any help getting set up.

Sign up for a paid plan to get white-glove support, regardless of how you choose to deploy. Contact [email protected] for more information.

For more information on getting set up, please check out our quick-start guide.

Scan your silos for information automatically and map PII.

Schedule routine scans for updated schemas and new PII.

Automate user data deletion/export requests across all silos.

Documentation is available here.

We believe that user data privacy is a fundamental right, and that the next decade will see an explosion of new regulations and standards around how companies handle data.

We also believe that even the most well-meaning companies can have poor privacy practices because being truly compliant is hard. If you're big enough to take on a privacy vendor, you're stuck with a pretty long integration process that doesn't handle the things you want it to; it's either missing the integrations you need out-of-the-box, or it doesn't handle automation so you're left doing the bulk of the work anyways. If you're not big enough to get a vendor, you're probably either sweeping privacy under the rug or spending a ton of time manually dealing with user data requests.

As the implications of holding user data get more dangerous (see: generative AI, deepfakes), regulation can only do so much to curb a disaster. We need tooling that's developer-first, that handles the heavy tail of data silos, and that automates data requests so they actually get carried out. We think that open-source is the way to go.

Monoid v1.0 is a data-mapping, PII-scanning, and right-to-know/right-to-delete request automation solution. We think that making this open-source solves a lot of blind spots of other solutions:

• Monoid can be used for internal data-stores and external SaaS vendors. Most solutions don't play well with self-hosting, so you're stuck making an internal copy to handle internal DB's/warehouses/etc. With Monoid, you can have a private local instance up-and-running in minutes.
• Monoid is easily extensible. We might not have all the automation connectors you need, but you can build them yourself very easily (or enlist us to as part of our paid plans!).
• Monoid is automated! This part isn't necessarily just an open-source thing, but we were surprised to find that most existing solutions have little-to-no request fulfillment automation. Monoid is built around the abstractions of connectors that can execute query and delete requests for user data, so automation is at its core.

We value community contributions, especially around building new connectors. Our contributions guide is still WIP, but if you're interested in helping out, please feel free to make a PR or contact [email protected]
