Found an interesting part:

> Otonomo is one example of the dozens of companies that market their attempts at keeping information anonymous. Otonomo describes its platform as having “privacy and security by design” and notes the use of patented “data blurring” technology to protect user privacy.

> It also has an “Otonomo Driver Pledge” page promising drivers the ability to easily grant or revoke access to personal data,

This doesn't add up. If they collect only anonymized data, then they won't be able to find that customer's data and do anything with it.




> patented “data blurring”

This can be looked up. I suspect it is not their own patent though, so not under their own name.
