Our Values

Why Useful?

01

SECURITY

We believe you should have to opt in to share your data, not opt out. All our products are built with privacy as a priority.

No personal data leaves the device – 3rd party verified
No internet connection required
Intentionally difficult to tamper with

02

EASE

We believe in making things easier

We leverage technology to reduce friction in people’s lives
We enable a more natural way of interacting with devices
Setup is simple. Step 1: Plug it in. There is no step 2.

03

PEOPLE FIRST

People are the priority, not their data
We support creating tech for people with disabilities and support projects to make AI less biased
We advocate the use of “nutrition labels” on electronics indicating which information is shared or private
