  Ketch is a San Francisco-based data permissioning and consent management platform — known as Ketch
  Switchbit — that helps enterprises keep customer data clean, permissioned, and AI-ready across web,
  mobile, and backend systems. The platform spans consent management, data subject rights (DSR)
  automation, AI-powered data mapping, marketing preference management, risk and reporting, a Data
  Sentry privacy pentest, and an AI Governance layer. The Ketch Agent Network turns privacy program
  insights into agent-driven actions. Builders use a public REST API hosted at global.ketchapi.com,
  Web/iOS/Android SDKs published across the github.com/ketch-com and github.com/ketch-sdk orgs, a
  Google Tag Manager template, a React Native module, and event forwarders for Node, Go, and Java.
  Ketch advertises 1,000+ pre-built API integrations across analytics, CRM, CDP, ecommerce, marketing,
  tag management, and data warehouses, with a free cookie banner tier alongside paid mid-market and
  enterprise editions.
