CEO Arjun Bhatnagar sat down with Hosting Advice recently to share more about Cloaked and our commitment help everyone take control of their personal information with ease
TL; DR: Data privacy can be murky territory for the everyday user. We have concerns but are often too preoccupied to learn more to protect ourselves or go through those 15 sliders on a company’s website to decline their cookies. Cloaked makes protecting your personal information simple with its all-in-one browser extension and mobile app. Users can leverage Cloaked to create unique virtual identities for their favorite accounts, including Uber, Walmart, Spotify, and Hulu. In one click, Cloaked generates new email addresses, phone numbers, usernames, and passwords so you won’t have to share your data. We spoke with Arjun Bhatnagar, Co-Founder and CEO of Cloaked, about the platform’s unique capabilities and security architecture.
Online surveillance and tracking have become a prominent and pressing issue for everyday users. Awareness of data privacy breaches has skyrocketed in recent years, and internet users aren’t happy.

Cloaked may not sell that spellbinding garment, but it does have a similar solution.
“Cloaked’s goal is to put people in control of their data and, ultimately, their identity. We want to make privacy not this impossible, unattainable goal but one meant for everyday people. And it is an achievable goal,” Arjun Bhatnagar, Co-Founder and CEO of Cloaked.
Cloaked is a browser extension and mobile app that protects user personal information from online surveillance by creating unique virtual identities for their online activities. Cloaked can provide users with new email addresses, phone numbers, and credit card numbers in one click so individuals and companies can never track their actual data.
