MyData Declaration
MyData wants to build a world where people are empowered with their own data. A world where we have:
- The ability to use our data independently in interactions with organisations and for our own purposes
- Greater agency through the effective assertion of our human and legal data rights
- Safety and protection from imbalances of data power and abuses of our data
- A better understanding of how our data is collected and used, by who, and how we can control its use.
Personal data empowerment is good for individuals and good for the communities and societies in which we live. It opens up new opportunities for economic growth and personal fulfilment.
Everyone can contribute to achieving the MyData mission – individuals, communities, organisations, policymakers, service providers, technology innovators, entrepreneurs, researchers, funders and many more.
MyData’s goal is to bring them all together, collaborating in a common cause to create data ecosystems that are fair, transparent and human-centric.
Come and join us in this mission.
