Palantir https://www.palantir.com

Palantir was founded on the conviction that it's essential to preserve fundamental principles of privacy and civil liberties while using data. Our earliest work in counter-terrorism required us to ask whether we could meaningfully strengthen national security in the US without weakening constitutional privacy protections. In response, we invested financial and intellectual capital to build technology that is now trusted by the world's most stringent — and skeptical — data protection regimes. Our culture of open and critical discussion around the implications of our technology ensures that we remain true to that initial conviction, even as the nature of data and the environments where we operate evolve. From their first day, new Palantirians are trained to ask: "Do I want to live in the kind of world that the technology we're building would enable?"
