Canopy uses on-device machine learning to discover sights, sounds, and stories to inspire your life. The company is taking a new approach to personalized discovery. One that doesn’t require knowing every action you take or every preference you have. Your personal data stays on your phone, in your hands. Canopy doesn’t see your personal information or track your behavior. The company's app looks at things you like—songs you’ve played, places you’ve explored, articles you’ve read and loved—and makes a summary of your tastes. This vector can’t be reverse engineered to identify you or your personal preferences. Most importantly, nothing but this unidentifiable summary leaves your phone. Canopy uses this anonymized summary, along with other anonymized summaries, as a roadmap to find content you’ll enjoy. We then share these picks back to you in your app each day.
