Swaarm focuses on privacy-enabled user acquisition for mobile games

Usually, privacy and advertising don’t go well together. The more you know about someone, the better you can target ads at them.

And so it came up with privacy-enabled user acquisition technologies. That is one reason Swaarm, which was founded in October 2020 after the changes were announced, was able to get a seven-figure round of funding this summer.
