Tarriss

What Tarriss does

Tarriss is a Vancouver, BC-based direct-to-consumer e-commerce brand that designs and sells travel security and privacy protection gear, operating as a consumer-facing division of GoDark Technologies Inc. (legal entity: GoDark Technologies Inc., British Columbia). Its product portfolio centers on two technology categories: RFID-blocking travel accessories (passport holders and neck wallets priced around $19, and hidden money belts) using electromagnetically opaque shielding to block RFID signals on credit cards and passports; and the GoDark sub-brand of industrial-strength Faraday bags for phones ($60) and tablets ($84) that block EMF signals between 600 MHz and 6 GHz, covering cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS. Core technical differentiators include a roll-top closure design with visual verification, a 600D poly outer shell with water and puncture resistance, and an inner felt liner that prevents accidental screen activation while preserving signal blocking. Performance is backed by third-party lab testing.

The business model is exclusively direct-to-consumer via a Shopify-powered storefront, with fulfillment from warehouses in Vancouver and Brampton (Canada) and Illinois and California (United States). Pricing is unit-based one-time purchase only — no subscription component — with free shipping thresholds at $150 USD and $175 CAD. Customer segments span privacy-conscious travelers, security-conscious professionals (IT, journalists), military/law enforcement/government, and general travel consumers, with all disclosed testimonials coming from individual consumers. Go-to-market is product-led growth supported by a content-marketing blog ("Privacy Matters") that drives organic SEO traffic on RFID and travel-safety topics, supplemented by email newsletters and on-site testimonials; no paid advertising, retail, or marketplace channels are used. The company employs 11-50 people, has not disclosed revenue or funding, and holds three registered trademarks (Tarriss, GoDark, SearchAlert).
