Who is WhenU?

When free software or content is made available to consumers in an ad-supported bundle, most people will be fine with the trade-off – as long as they are not being tricked, tracked or taken advantage of. There is a small but vocal and passionate minority of Internet users that believes anything bundled with ad-serving software – even an offering as benign, transparent and privacy-protecting as WhenU's – is intrinsically evil.

During the last year, WhenU and it's products have been acknowledged as the industry leader in "best practices."

• WhenU installs without trickery (clear notice and consent)
• WhenU doesn't spy on people with cookies or harvest behavioral data
• WhenU doesn't bury people in a ton of irrelevant, unstoppable pop-ups
• WhenU doesn't significantly impact computer performance
• WhenU helps people save money with highly relevant offers
• It can be uninstalled easily using Windows' Add/Remove
