Executive Summary

Many mid-to-large enterprises—roughly 120,000 organizations by a basic TAM model—struggle with unwanted app telemetry: third-party SDKs and poorly configured products can exfiltrate user data or ignore opt-outs, leaving product, security, and legal teams without reliable ways to detect and prove that telemetry is blocked. That gap creates regulatory, contractual and reputational risk as regulators tighten enforcement and customers demand provable privacy controls. You could build a platform that automatically discovers telemetry SDKs and endpoints across mobile, desktop and web, enforces blocking or redirection at runtime, and produces cryptographic, audit-ready evidence of opt-out enforcement; integrations with MDM, CI/CD, SIEM and consent management would automate remediation and reporting for compliance officers. The $18.0B addressable market (120,000 enterprises x $150K ACV), a market score of 92/100 and strong revenue potential (90/100) reflect regulatory expansion, privacy-first consumer behavior, and the proliferation of telemetry SDKs that increase the attack surface for tooling like this. This opportunity can stand out by combining high-fidelity static and dynamic detection with noninvasive runtime controls and legally defensible audit trails, targeting regulated verticals (finance, healthcare) where procurement is faster and fines are material. Be honest about the work required: competition is medium, and you will face engineering challenges instrumenting diverse platforms, avoiding false positives and availability impacts, countering obfuscation/encryption, and building evidence that holds up in audits—each solvable but demanding clear investment and enterprise sales discipline.

Market Opportunity

Unwanted app telemetry — detect, block, and enforce opt-outs for users targets a $18.0B = 120,000 mid-to-large enterprises x $150K ACV (privacy & telemetry compliance suites) total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 18% CAGR for privacy & compliance tooling.

Key trends driving demand: Regulatory expansion -- new laws and enforcement increase demand for provable data-handling controls; Privacy-first consumer behavior -- users prefer products with clear telemetry opt-outs and transparency, creating brand advantage; Proliferation of telemetry SDKs -- many third-party SDKs embed tracking, increasing attack surface that automated tools can detect; AI-enabled code analysis -- ML makes it feasible to find undocumented endpoints and infer data flows across binaries and web apps.

Key competitors include Objective Development — Little Snitch, GlassWire, NextDNS, Pi-hole (open-source), Fiddler Everywhere (Progress) — network inspection / proxy.
