Whooster NightWatch is a human trafficking intelligence dataset built directly into the Whooster WebUI, developed in partnership with DeliverFund. It surfaces the illicit advertising traffickers depend on and connects it to the phone numbers, emails, and identities behind it — giving investigators leads they could not otherwise reach.

Our partnership with DeliverFund combines Whooster’s advanced data analytics with DeliverFund’s extensive expertise in fighting human trafficking. DeliverFund is a nonprofit intelligence agency dedicated to equipping law enforcement with the training and technology necessary to combat human trafficking on a large scale.
