Datum-Take Back Your Data

 

 

Background

We live in a knowledge economy where data is a strategic asset that allows companies to acquire and maintain their competitive edge. The value of raw data varies from a hundred cents to over several hundred dollars per individual. The more it is enriched, analyzed and leveraged for specialized uses, the more its value increases. Despite the large-scale monetization of personal and business data, the only player in the chain that is currently not getting paid is paradoxically the individual him/her/itself — who happens to be the source of harvested data. Your personal or corporate data is worth a lot of money. Facebook, Google and co. all happily collect data in return for nothing. This is the chance to gain back control of your data and determine if and when you want to sell it or share it. There is a quote which most certainly define the world we all live in today: “If you are not paying for the product, you are the product.” — Andrew Lewis, 2010. The Datum network model could provide a basic income for everyone by allowing them to monetize their anonymized data. As user of Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Twitter, Yahoo and similar services — every year you create an excess of US $2,000, created directly from your personal data alone. For corporate entities, the value is even greater. This is only the value represented by data in each of these “data silos”, when you connect this data, the richer and wider the information, the more money it is worth. What if you could monetize this data yourself, deciding yourself how much you are willing to share in return for rewards and new opportunities.

What is Datum?

Datum is a decentralized and distributed high performance NoSQL database backed by a blockchain ledger. This technology allows anyone to securely and anonymously backup structured data from social networks, wearables, smart homes, and other IoT devices. Datum provides a marketplace where users can share or sell data on their own terms.
