Israeli startup MineOS is selling its consumer privacy app to global security company McAfee. While the sale price was not officially shared, Media reports that it is likely in the tens of millions of dollars
After the acquisition, MineOS’s app will be added to McAfee’s consumer protection platform. This means McAfee will now offer the app’s privacy features as part of its own products.
This deal is significant because it is McAfee’s first acquisition of Israeli technology in over ten years, and it comes about four years after the company shut down its operations in Israel.
“The technology we developed will continue to operate as part of McAfee and serve users around the world, and we will now focus all our resources on accelerating growth in the enterprise market,” said MineOS CEO Kobi Nissan.
The app, which launched in early 2020, helped millions of users find out where their personal information was being stored and who had access to it.
It also allowed users to request the deletion of their data from those services with just a few clicks.
The company’s enterprise platform, launched in 2021 and used by clients like Wiz, HelloFresh, Miro, SharkNinja, Selfridges, and Ford, uses autonomous AI agents to constantly track and map company data.
These AI agents also handle data-subject requests, manage supplier-related risks, and provide AI oversight — all from one unified dashboard.
MineOS was founded in Israel in 2019 by Gal Ringel, Gal Golan, and Kobi Nissan. In 2023, the company raised $30 million in a Series B funding round led by Battery Ventures, with support from PayPal, Nationwide, and Google’s AI Fund.
