Next week we announce publicly a test of the first working prototype of such a service: The Personal Data Store. In preparation for this launch, we have published a White Paper (http://bit.ly/b1jvGN) which explores the concept in depth: …

The Personal Data Ecosystem supports businesses supporting user’s need to control, manage, and direct the way they want to share and allows for the emergence of new data markets and services. Businesses that aggregate data also face an increasingly tough regulatory environment. B2B clients are constantly seeking accurate data about existing and potential customers to provide better services or products. We are at the intersection of these activities.

We all create data as we navigate our digital lives. User’s are finding the world is making decisions about them, and they can’t see, control, or correct that data. We don’t have an accurate picture of our digital selves. We need to be able to collect and manage our own data, as we make it, on the fly. Convergence on common API’s, data formats, data sharing and data portability standards are key elements PDE is working toward. There are many challenges to make the PDE viable.
