Head of Privacy / Lead Privacy Lawyer

Mapbox is the leading real-time location platform for a new generation of location-aware businesses. Mapbox is the only platform that equips organizations with the full set of tools to power the navigation of people, packages, and vehicles everywhere. More than 4 million registered developers have chosen Mapbox because of the platform’s flexibility, security and privacy compliance. Organizations use Mapbox applications, data, SDKs and APIs to create customized and immersive experiences that delight their customers. 

We operate a mapping and location platform that enables enterprises and software developers to quickly embed location-based context into their applications (e.g., where am I, where is this place, and how do I get there). Our main products are APIs and SDKs (not a SaaS service), which means that our customers control what information they send to us in the form of the structured API requests (e.g., please send me map content at X location). Our maps are designed for the ever-evolving world, accessing, aggregating, and adapting de-identified data from millions of sensors and phones in real-time.
