Evervault raises $3.2M from Sequoia, Kleiner for an API to build apps with privacy baked in

Data privacy for apps is typically part of the purview of compliance teams -- a model that isn't always perfect, judging by the number of breaches and the extensive regulation that's been (and is still being) put in place to force companies and organizations to behave better. Now, in an effort to improve how apps manage data privacy, a startup called Evervault -- founded by a 19-year-old in Dublin, Ireland -- is building a data protection solution aimed at developers, by way of an API, which aims to bake data protection into the app from the start. Led by Sequoia, the round also includes Kleiner Perkins, Frontline, SV Angel and other unnamed backers.
