We know that not all companies or organisations ignore privacy and digital rights. More and more companies and organisations are realising the benefits of giving people control over their personal data. The MyData Award 2023 recognises and celebrates these human-centric solutions around the world. Applying companies can either receive the MyData in Practice 2023 status if they provide personal data based services to individuals in line with MyData principles, or the MyData Operators 2023 status it they provide a human-centric infrastructure for using and sharing personal data.
