About Us
Virtual Privacy is a boutique privacy and AI governance advisory firm headquartered in San Francisco, with in-market operations across the US–Vietnam–EU corridor.
Our story began in 2016 as a pro bono privacy advisory firm dedicated to building trust in the digital ecosystem. Our customers were primarily nonprofits and selected start-ups that lacked the resources for dedicated in-house privacy advice. Over the last 10 years, we have evolved into a commercial practice that supports businesses and public organizations with strategic and operational privacy and AI governance matters, all the while remaining strongly committed to our philanthropic roots.
We offer a variety of consulting services at Virtual Privacy, including program design, responsible product development & technology adoption advice, regulatory readiness, training development, and complex diligence.
