Building data infrastructure that scales.
Messaging platforms like Podium handle millions of sensitive interactions: contact info, payment data, health details, and more. These interactions span industries, devices, and regulatory zones, requiring fine-grained, real-time control over how data is stored, processed, and retained.
The challenge is not just securing personal data, it’s scaling that security without compromising performance or usability. Podium’s privacy infrastructure must ensure lawful processing across industries like healthcare and financial services, while supporting instant engagement for local businesses operating at national scale.
