Aidan founded Reincubate in 2008 after building the world’s first iOS data recovery tool. Since then he has grown the company into one of the world’s top ISVs, working with companies like AMD, Qualcomm and HP to pioneer meaningful machine-learning features for video software, headlined by the Camo app ecosystem. Under Aidan’s leadership, Reincubate has won the UK’s highest business honour three times, earned a place on The Sunday Times’ 100 Tech list, and garnered industry recognition with Apple Design Award and App Store nominations. His work and techniques are often cited in academic papers on mobile forensics, and he’s been invited to speak at events hosted by companies like Google, Microsoft and Snap.
Guiding values & principles
The company is run according to a set of guiding values and principles.
Create delight
We over-deliver and provide extra value where we can, working with empathy and generosity to create delightful experiences.
We want to make Camo’s magic as accessible as possible. That means empathetic, thoughtful capabilities and content, deep accessibility and automation support, widely localised jargon-free language, and native support for many platforms and devices. We’re so confident in our commitment to this that we back Camo with a refund promise.
Interact with integrity
We treat others with integrity, do what we say, and strive to do the right thing. Authenticity and trust underpin our work.
We seek to collaborate and partner with others, just as we have done with leaders including Microsoft, Apple, AMD, Intel, NVIDIA, Qualcomm, and Snap. User privacy is of paramount importance to us, we treat it as sacred: Camo doesn’t store or analyse anyone’s data, and user video only goes where users sent it. Every customer is sent our CEO’s email address so they can reach out directly at any time.
It just works
We build remarkable, innovative experiences. We’re thoughtful, passionate, and curious about design, detail and how things work.
We think there’s disproportionate value in being the best & we’re committed to doing the best we’ve ever done.
Camo does a lot behind the scenes, and it’s our job to make that invisible to you, for a fluent, intuitive, reliable experience. We’ve studied the emerging science and psychology around video, baking it into the heart of Camo, and we’ve pioneered new techniques such as offloading processing to your camera, keeping your computer cool and quiet.
Sustainable
We strive for sustainability as a business and in our own lives. We’re resourceful and tenacious, and leave the campsite tidier than we found it.
We look to earn long, loyal relationships with colleagues and customers alike.
As a long-term indie company, we have no obligation to “juice” users with invasive ads or tracking. We see our relationship with users as a long-term investment, which is why we’re proud to offer a powerful, perpetually free version of Camo, why we invest so heavily in creating valuable, objective learning content, and why we go to great lengths to offer customer support that’s second to none.
Ethics & beliefs
Identity, expertise & authority
The company was founded in London, England in 2008 by Aidan Fitzpatrick, after he built the world’s first tool for iOS data recovery. Further innovation followed around encryption, iCloud and recovery.
We’re clear about who we are and where we’re based. All customers are automatically sent the CEO’s email address when buying. The company is privately held with no external investors, and the team hold equity and options in the company. We have an ongoing multi-million dollar research & development programme.
Editorial accuracy &
fact-checking
Every author on the site is a technical expert with tenure or exceptional achievement. We don't publish content under pseudonyms; we're not in the business of recycling news for clicks.
We review our content and guides regularly, and a professional editor reviews, proofs, and fact-checks them.
Trust, integrity &
fair play
We back our products with a consumer refund promise so we don’t gain from users buying our products mistakenly. We don’t permit ads, sponsored content or affiliate links on our site. Only a few hand-picked partners are permitted to market our products.
Our terms and conditions are annotated in plain English to make them as clear as possible. We rarely recommend third-party products, but when we do we endeavour to recommend like-minded developers.
We don’t reward customers for leaving positive customer reviews; we feel it’s important that reviews are honest and authentic. All testimonials on our site are from genuine users with real stories.
Privacy & security
We don’t store, own or resell customer data, and — as a British company — we’re subject to the world’s most stringent data protection regime.
We publish our position on privacy and data in plain English, and operate a responsible disclosure policy to reward and engage with security experts.
Our management and senior staff are security screened according to the UK’s Government baseline personnel security standard.
Environment & charity
We aim to make a neutral or net positive impact on the environment by minimising the company's energy footprint and facilitating remote work, choosing partners with strong green initiatives (such as GCP, who power our servers with 100% renewable energy), and supporting environmental charities.
The company funds re-wilding in the Scottish Highlands with a company grove, and separately supports reforestation of Britain in accordance with the Woodland Carbon Code. (Measuring and mitigating impact is complicated, so we strive to learn more and "over-offset" our impact.)
