DATA for GOOD Foundation

DATA for GOOD has developed a neutral platform infrastructure that offers the possibility to connect citizens, companies, and public organizations in a digital ecosystem where data can be shared under the control of the individual citizen enabling new digital services for citizens and value-creating new insights.

Unleash the Potential of Data

DATA for GOOD believes that the individual citizen should be the locus of control in the increasingly expanding data economy. We believe that empowering the individual as a gatekeeper in the data economy will help (re-)establish trust in data sharing and motivate individual citizens to share more of their data with projects, organizations and institutions with legitimate interests in this data - and thereby help create valuable insights and solve critical societal challenges.

In collaboration with trusted partner organisations, we have developed the DATA for GOOD Platform. With this platform researchers and analysts can get access to valuable insights derived from accumulated data without ever accessing the actual raw input data. This is achieved by means of the encryption protocol Secure Multiparty Computation (MPC). With MPC it is possible to combine and compute encrypted, anonymised and distributed data.

New opportunities with the GDPR compliant data partnership

For the individual citizen

At DATA for GOOD we believe that the individual should be in charge of their own data in a dynamic data economy. That is, data generated by the individual should only be shared if the individual citizen provides an explicit and informed consent. A consent that at anytime can be edited or withdrawn.

With the use of DATA for GOOD data sharing platform you can at any time get an overview of your consents, give or withdraw these and be part of a greater partnership between customer and organisations.

Most importantly, the DATA for GOOD platform functions as the neutral intermediary that ensures your data will always be anonymous and never sold or exploited.

“An easy-to-understand good governance-based platform app where I can subscribe to digital services, collect my data and where I can get an overview of where I control my data and manage my consents based on how it makes sense to myself, but also to society and companies.”

Support the good cause – become a beta tester

You can take control of your own data and its use by becoming a BETA-tester member and supporting the good cause.

DATA for GOOD is based on individual data control and makes it possible, in compliance with GDPR and EU legislation to promote value creation and the sharing of data to create insights for citizens and the organisations.

For professional organisations

When getting informed consent from an organisations own customers or clients to store and analyse their data, organisations can also achieve a greater consent to utilize its internal data and to a customized extend, include external data where the organization will achieve a greater amount of data to research and analyse new connections, discover new opportunities and improve the overall insigts to meet customers best - in encrypted mode without us removing data from the source.

With the DATA for GOOD platform, the organisation gets access to a marketplace which consists of a good governance and technological platform that makes it possible to create insights, new knowledge and value for citizens and organisations with consented access to all citizen data on a legally correct basis. With the opportunity to create value and development through this. Alone and in community. All is done in alignment with the EU’s GDPR laws of personal data protection. GDPR compliance is incorporated in the DATA for GOOD’s platform – the individual has control over data and their anonymity while the organisation is left with valuable data results without sensitive information.

The DATA for GOOD Products

The DATA for GOOD products originate - and are build upon - the GDPR framework, in addition to the upcoming new EU personal data regulations. Businesses and organisations can rest assured that the personal data they hold is always in compliance with the regulations. It is a simple and responsible new way of acquiring and utilising data for new insights, research, development and understandings.

The user will always be able to see their consent and choose the degree of anonymisation, along with ensuring what data a provider can use and in what form. Data can never be sold or used in any other way that deviates from DATA for GOOD’s mission.
