MyData Operator Award information session 2
The MyData Operator Award recognises personal data companies that have shown leadership by providing human-centric solutions that empower individuals to manage their personal data.
A key concern for personal data companies is reputation management in the under-regulated personal data sector. Users and investors share concerns as well – users want to know their data is safe and that they have practical means to manage their data. Investors want to be assured there isn’t a data handling scandal hiding behind glossy annual reports and impressive growth figures. Governments too increasingly want to open up the personal data they hold to other organisations in order to improve public services.

State of MyData 2021
– 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
