At dotmobile, we are designing our services in a manner that respects and protects your personal information. Most wireless service providers don’t openly talk about what happens with your personal information, and we want to change that. In this post, we are providing an overview of our design of privacy. Let us know if we’re on the right track in comments or by emailing us at privacy@dotmobile.app. We look forward to reading your thoughts.

The other day my girlfriend was venting about her wireless provider. They were charging overages, as usual, but this month they also cut off her data. “I should be able to control my plan and just pay for data when I need it,” she told me. I proudly responded that dotmobile's building exactly what she needs, but to my surprise, she looked surprised.

The big telecoms finally have unlimited plans, a welcome relief from typically punitive overages. Despite what they want you to believe, however, there is nothing innovative about their approach. Freedom Mobile has been doing unlimited data for years, starting all the way back to when they were still called WIND; so for the better part of a decade, many Canadians have had their data throttled.
