Key facts

Biography

Kelly Peterson Miranda, who now uses the name Kelly Peterson, is a privacy and compliance executive. Yobi's website lists her as Chief Privacy and Compliance Officer, and a TheOrg profile dates the start of that role to May 2025. Yobi describes itself as a behavioural AI company. Her LinkedIn profile gives her location as Overland Park, in the Kansas City area.

Her best-known role for the dating industry was at Grindr. Grindr's blog says she first joined in June 2018, working on privacy, compliance and data security policy. She left for a few years, and in a podcast interview she said she worked on European regulatory compliance for Amazon Advertising in that time. She returned and, according to Recorded Future News, became Grindr's Chief Privacy Officer in January 2023. A May 2022 press release had described her as Grindr's Director of Business and Regulatory Affairs and a former Principal of Data Privacy at Amazon. The Women We Admire profile says she served as Deputy Security Officer under a National Security Agreement with the US government and helped the company go public in 2022.

While at Grindr she gave public statements for the company on privacy matters, including to TechCrunch and LGBTQ Nation. She also took part in IAPP events. The IAPP lists a Master's and an Educational Specialist degree from the University of Missouri-Kansas City and the CIPP/E, CIPM, FIP and CDPSE certifications.

Editor's note: a DII story lead says she testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee. No source found confirms this, so it is not included here. Grindr's December 2025 blog post on the App Store Accountability Act was reported as written by Joe Hack, and she would have left Grindr before then.
