Ramp x Ethyca
When Ramp’s privacy team realized traditional compliance tools couldn’t keep pace with their engineering culture, Privacy Counsel Michael Razeeq chose Ethyca to rebuild privacy from the ground up. By adopting Ethyca’s privacy-as-code platform, Ramp automated data rights requests, unified data classification, and established an engineering-owned governance layer powering AI readiness across $100B+ in transactions.
Ramp & Ethyca:
Building world-class, engineer-owned privacy infrastructure
As Ramp scaled to process over $100B in payments, its engineering-driven culture outgrew traditional privacy software designed for legal teams. Manual data mapping, brittle integrations, and limited configurability made it impossible to govern complex B2B financial data or prepare for emerging AI regulations.
In this case study, discover how Ramp’s Privacy Counsel partnered with Ethyca to rebuild privacy as engineering infrastructure—automating data subject rights fulfillment, integrating directly with internal systems, and extending the open-source Fideslang taxonomy to model nuanced fintech data. The result is a unified data governance foundation that bridges legal and engineering workflows, establishes a trusted layer for AI readiness, and redefines what privacy operations can look like in modern financial technology.
