– A snapshot of the path to human-centric approach to personal data

The “State of MyData” publication was inspired by the discussions at the MyData Online 2020 Conference, the rigorous work of MyData Global’s local hubs and thematic groups as well as the community at large. It will help you understand the landscape of MyData and how to leverage it in various contexts, encouraging further work in governance and standardisation, and highlighting the important pillars crucial for implementing MyData in practice.

We are excited to see MyData gain a momentum around the world! We believe the State of MyData 2021 report helps understand and structure the diverse perspectives and contexts related to the paradigm shift towards the human-centric approach to personal data. We invite businesses, governments, universities, nonprofits and of course individuals to join us in actionable, structured and impactful efforts to make these shifts a reality.

– Teemu Ropponen, General Manager of MyData Global
