AVALW is a European technology company building privacy-first software. Four products live, twelve more coming this year.
Most software collects your data first and promises to protect it later. The business model depends on having your information, and every privacy policy is really just a description of how that information gets used. AVALW takes a fundamentally different approach. We build software that does not collect data in the first place. When there is nothing to store, there is nothing to breach.
Every product we make is designed to work offline or with minimal connectivity. Your documents, your browsing history, your search queries, your biometric data, all of it stays on your device. We do not upload it, we do not analyze it, and we do not sell it. The processing happens locally, on hardware you own and control.
We believe that privacy claims should be verifiable, not just trusted. That is why our products include public telemetry and open verification steps. When we say a feature runs offline, you can confirm it yourself. When we say we do not track you, the architecture makes tracking structurally impossible. Trust is built through transparency, not marketing.
The long-term goal is a complete ecosystem where every part of your digital life is private by default. Browsing, search, document analysis, device security, communication, and more. Not as a premium add-on, but as the way things work from the moment you start using them.
Everything we ship is built around the same idea: your data belongs to you, and software should work without taking it.
A web browser with 100% offline AI and public telemetry. Available on Windows and iOS.
A privacy scanner for legal documents. 5 analysis modes, 200+ detection patterns. Available on iPhone and iPad.
AI face recognition that locks your screen when you leave and hides it from shoulder surfers. Available on Mac.
A private search engine. No accounts, no cookies, no IP logging. News from 239+ sources.
16 apps planned for 2026. Four are live.
These are the rules we follow when designing, building, and shipping software. They are not aspirational. They are operational.
If it can run locally, it runs locally. Cloud is the last resort, not the default. Every feature we build starts with the question: can this work entirely on the user's hardware? If the answer is yes, that is how we ship it.
Public telemetry, open verification steps, hardware indicators. Users should not have to take our word for it. If we claim something is private, the architecture should make it provable.
If data is never collected, it cannot be breached, subpoenaed, or sold. This is the simplest and most effective form of data protection. We do not need your data to build useful software.
Privacy should not require technical knowledge. It should be the default experience. You should not need to toggle settings, read documentation, or understand encryption to be protected.
Every product page explains what it cannot do. No misleading claims. If a feature has trade-offs, we document them clearly. We would rather under-promise and over-deliver than the other way around.
AVALW is an independent, self-funded company. We have not taken venture capital, and we do not plan to. This matters because funding shapes incentives. Companies that raise money from investors eventually need to show returns, and when the product is free, the returns usually come from user data. We avoid that pressure entirely by keeping the company small, lean, and funded by the products themselves.
Being self-funded also means we answer to users, not shareholders. Product decisions are driven by what is genuinely useful and what genuinely protects privacy. There is no board meeting where someone asks how to extract more engagement or collect more behavioral data.
AVALW is headquartered in Romania, a member of the European Union. All products comply with GDPR. Being European means operating under some of the strictest data protection laws in the world. This is not a limitation, it is an advantage.
Everything is in Europe. Our servers, our DNS, our IP addresses, our infrastructure, our data processing. Nothing is routed through non-EU jurisdictions. This means your data is protected by EU law at every layer, from the moment a request leaves your device to the moment a response arrives.
Our servers are physical machines in European data centers, not rented cloud instances from American companies. We do not use AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure. The hardware is ours, in locations we control, under EU jurisdiction. No third party has access to the machines that run our services.
We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any third-party tracking script on any of our websites or products. There are no cookies from external services, no behavioral tracking, no conversion pixels. If you inspect the network requests on any AVALW website, you will not find a single call to a tracking service. This is verifiable right now, in your browser's developer tools.
GDPR compliance is not something we retroactively bolt onto products. It is part of the design process from day one. Our legal obligations align with our engineering philosophy: collect as little data as possible, give users full control, and be transparent about everything.
While our company is based in Europe, our products are available globally. Privacy is a universal right, and the software we build reflects that. Whether you are in Bucharest, Berlin, or Buenos Aires, the experience is the same: private by default, no exceptions.
