PDATA - The Blockchain Solution for Personal Data Industry

in #blockchain6 years ago

Introduction

The personal data industry is a multi-billion-dollar industry and nowadays most people are not even aware how careless they deal with their own data. Examples are the numerous lotteries where people just give away their names, age, gender, phone numbers, physical and electronic addresses. As well as participating in loyalty programs, quizzes and subscriptions people give their data right away to companies, which they barely know. This can lead to fraudulent or nerve-shattering activities, which might require you to change your phone number for example in order to stop annoying calls from certain groups.
First of all the industry can be split into data collectors and data aggregators. So, surfing on Facebook and using Google or Amazon while being logged in will make these companies collect data about you with the goal of personalized marketing and further recommendations. I think anyone will know the creepy feeling, when discussing with your friends or colleagues about a book and the next time when you visit Amazon it just pops up as a recommendation for you. But we not only have the data collectors, but also the data aggregators who use the collected data in order to create a customer profile. This could also be with the goal of targeted marketing and advertising or it can focus on a more financial aspect like credit reporting and risk assessment.

The Solution - PDATA

A lot of people agree that they already have lost control about their personal information and that it can be found easily online. PDATA is a blockchain solution, which has the goal to build a decentralized marketplace for personal data. The platform shall enable a secure and transparent way of buying and selling personal data. It gives the power over personal data back to the rightful owners of the data and it can help to diminish passing on of personal data to unauthorized third-parties and give the people to monetize the data they are sharing.

Great review. I haven't looked up the project yet, but will definitely do now. I think as the internet has changed how we are using our private data and the younger generation are even more careless, it is quite important that blockchain can help with personal data protection and enables users to get back control over their data.

thank you! I would say the older generation is as careless as the younger generation since my parents for example are not clear about the consequences and for them it's something they wouldn't think of that the personal data industry is such a big business.

Well done @goya58! You successfully guessed the match result.

Interesting project. I think privacy and personal data are quite an important topics with internet of things slowly taking over traditional data handling. How many years do you give PDATA or in general blockchain to take over and finally get adopted?
