We’re delighted to share that CR was just named one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies of 2024. CR was recognized in the Nonprofit category, as an organization transforming business and society. We’re especially proud that Fast Company spotlighted all that we’re doing to give consumers power to protect their data via Permission Slip,
In October 2023, we announced the launch of CR’s Permission Slip, an app to help consumers take back control of the personal information companies have. Since then, we have grown to support hundreds of thousands of users and sent nearly 2M data requests to companies on their behalf.
Despite major advances in technology in recent years, privacy, security, and safety standards haven’t always kept up. The Fast Company’s award recognizes CR’s innovation and efforts to ensure that consumer rights and safety don’t fall behind as technology lurches forward.
Marta L. Tellado, president and CEO of Consumer Reports says:,“It’s an honor that Fast Company has recognized CR’s innovation to strengthen consumers’ privacy, security, and safety. We’re committed to building a world where improving technology goes hand-in-hand with improving consumers’ lives.”
