Mad props to a former sponsor of “Mac OS Ken.” MacPaw advertised their product “CleanMyMac X” on the show a little over a year ago. That company’s founder and CEO, Oleksandr Kosovan, laid out a blogpost Wednesday night. Under the headline “MacPaw’s Operations amidst the Russian Aggression against Ukraine,” Kosovan wrote:
Being humans of the 21st century, we all wish that the tragic days of war were a thing of the past. However, now once more, with the Russian aggression against Ukraine, we’ve been made to witness how easy freedom, independence, and the human right to life and choice are put on the line.
MacPaw was founded and operated primarily in Kyiv, Ukraine. For us, the security of our team members is paramount. We've prepared various assistance programs and launched an emergency plan to ensure the safety of our peers based in Ukraine.
Here’s what got me: The bulk of the post had to do with how the company plans to keep serving customers, even as their country is mauled by a bear. Additionally, they talked about how the privacy of their user information and the payment information of their users remains secure. “So in our day-to-day operations,” wrote Kosovan:
…nothing is going to change for you. MacPaw products will continue to work flawlessly and receive timely updates. Our support team will keep responding to all your messages.
We want to say thank you for all the incredible messages of support you've sent our way. Our team at MacPaw is staying calm, focused, and optimistic for a peaceful future of independent Ukraine.
This is not an ad, though they did support my work some time ago. I’m just - touched by the post. Touched by their commitment to their customers in the face of literal war. And I wanted to let you know how they were doing.
