MyData

  • Before: Your personal data stored separately in the silos of various domain services…
  • After: Keep in one place and share easily. Then utilized by other apps and selectively disclosed to 3rd parties
  1. MyData is highly relevant to the “big conversations” of our time.

  2. Cities are becoming pioneers of MyData.

  3. Design is fundamental to the success of the MyData paradigm.

  4. The journey of interoperability is all about the dialogue between governance and standards.

  5. Whats missing is as important as whats there.

Johannes Ernst, CEO of Indie Computing and co-founder of MyData Silicon Valley, explains why in order to increase consumer trust in technology, we need more transparency on key issues such as privacy, and why a common narrative for the innovators in the space is crucial to advancing individual control over personal data.

Yorz has partnerships with leading European payment processors and uses patented technology to automatically capture and make available till receipt data for users to share and monetise. They can also gather other valuable data from across their lives, including finance, health and social media, using digi.mes personal data exchange platform. The Yorz marketplace enables consumers to choose to receive cash, discounts or tailored offers based on the data access they offer brands, leaving them firmly in control.

MyData 2020 Online good sessions continued…

  • MyData4Children-OpenSpace2020

    Three questions, to try to understand how MyData may lead a way to create a safe, enjoyable and empowering digital world for children.

  1. What is the main challenge(s) we face today regarding childrens rights in a digital world?
  2. What would be the ideal digital experience (safe, enjoyable, feasible and viable) for children, parents & educators?
  3. What needs to be done to enable that ideal experience?

The website above is a cool interactive webpage that was shared during the conference. A neat infographic called How your phone is designed to grab your attention is part of the interactive webpage. Theres also a video.

In this edition we explore how social media and the web have changed the way we read information and react to it. We include our animations:

  • Trackography: You Never Read Alone
  • Serious Profiling: Have you been profiled yet?
  • Personal Data: Political Persuasion, Inside the Influence Industry, Whats for sale?
  • Living with Algorithms: Why should you care about algorithms?

Clips from the conference

  • @mydataorg shared some video clips from the conference in a few tweet threads:
  • "20% of average family budget goes to mobility services. With better understanding through #MobilityData the costs and the CO2 impacts could be managed much easier,”@Paultheyskens #PersonalData is an important enabler of sustainable mobility in the future!
  • Better use of #mobilitydata could empower also citizens with special needs to move easier. “When data starts to flow, we can build tailored mobility applications,” says @Rafke from @info_vlaanderen
  • @BeyerMalte explains how to go from strategy to practice with the @EU_Commission's new #EUDataStrategy & #DataGovernanceAct and what is the role of trusted data intermediaries like #MyDataOperators.
  • To share or not to share your personal data. Benefits include free service, better service or moral satisfaction. But the risk is manipulation, Professor @MaxGrafenstein
  • There should be a way for our #data to gain value, be it in example monetary or ethical. So how valuable is “my data”? @nlaout answers the million(or billion)-dollar question
  • A traditional implementation of creating trust concerning data use is cookies. However, its a “hell of a user experience”. Now we have the opportunity to build something completely different that really inspires and keeps trust! @arionair89.
  • Understanding the origins of identity Dr. Mawaki Chango

    #Identity management is not a new problem. Mawaki Chango, PhD explains briefly it's interesting history starting from the Roman Catholic Church keeping records of their believers, leading all the way from passports to the current situation we are in with digital identity credentials! At the #MyDataOnline2020 conference. Read more of his work fromhttps://digilexis.com

  • MyData Strategy of Global Enterprises

    Visionaries from around the world will present success stories and explain why it is important to align MyDatas human-centric principles in the data economy.

Slides:

Ian Henderson talks about leading the application process for two MyData Operators Tru.net and DataYogi .

The core of the awards process is an online questionnaire that each photo-operator completes which provides background on the applying organisation, and then allows them to describe their business in terms of the shared MyData Operator Reference model shown below. This reference model, described in detail in the MyData Operators white paper, is not prescriptive; it is more a useful way to ensure each applying operator frames their responses so that they become easier to understand and assess.

  • Two new applications have been integrated in your Cozy to offer you more uses and control: Pass, a French and open source password manager and Notes, a collaborative text editor
  • Nearly 70,000 data-conscious individuals have already adopted a personal cloud
  • A partnership that we are really proud of was created with CEMEA and the support of Secours Populaire Français, the Afnic Foundation, the Samu Social de Paris and Framasoft to fight against digital exclusion
  • A partnership with Gandi allows their customers to create a Cozy space on their own domain. You will stay because you can leave.
  • Cozy Cloud has been rewarded by the NGO MyData as MyDataOperator
  • Cozy was chosen as the data platform for its energy savings service offered at the Data Challenge thanks to Métropole Grand Lyon

Our top picks for potential improvements are:

  1. Explicitly include individuals as active participants in the definitions
  2. Clear and comprehensive scope
  3. Moderate requirements
  4. Interoperability between the data sharing services

Sander Swinkels, DTACT CEO, explains that a common vision of securely enabling and safeguarding the sharing of personal data with consent is what drew the two companies together. And they have been working to build something unique, frictionless and fast with users firmly at the centre, based on an open framework which is easily scalable.

The Me2B Respectful Tech Specification is a sorely needed ethical and safety standard for the internet. It consists of a series of tests that objectively measure the behavior of a connected product or service. The Specification helps people (“Me-s”) understand how technology is treating them, and helps businesses (“B-s”) build technology that is safe and respectful for the people that use it.

MyLog/LogBoard pulls together health information on temperature, sleep, heart rate and more into a single place that can be shared with doctors and medical staff. Users can log their Covid symptoms, thereby allowing them and medical staff to get a holistic picture of their health while strengthening the national response to Covid-19. Data is held on mobile devices and not in the cloud and can be shared with a one-off URL that wipes all data after 72 hours.

Several committees promote the MyData movement in Japan in specific thematic areas. One of the most active committees is the Public Policy Committee, which has submitted expert opinions from the MyData Japan community to the Japanese governments Public Comments.

The development of the Data Governance Act (DGA) is exciting for MyData because it shows a clear link to the MyData Operators white paper, which describes the operations and functions of what the EU terms as “data intermediaries”.

As highlighted by the ongoing Facebook Files scandal, transparency and accountability in personal data are increasingly acknowledged as critical for safety online.  To show their commitment to ethical personal data management, participating organisations are required to disclose information about their operations. The MyData Operator Award shows that ethical alternatives exist and provide value for companies and users alike. The Internet Society Foundation recently granted the Me2B Alliance $100,000 to complete its “U.S. EdTech Industry Benchmark: Data Sharing in Primary & Secondary School Mobile Utility Apps.” The benchmark will build on previous findings about harmful data sharing practices by uncovering how sensitive student information is being treated by school utility apps in grades pre-k through 12 in schools across the nation.

Highlights include the keynote from Amsterdams chief technology officer, Ger Baron and the awarding of the MyData Operator 2021 Awards to 22 companies and organisations.

This post sets out a vision for what could become a sustainable set of human-centric processes around the sourcing, management and use of personal data. Our context for doing so is that the current model for personal data management on The Internet is badly broken and has architectural limitations that are largely un-resolvable.

Against the widespread assumption that data are the oil of the 21st century, this article offers an alternative conceptual framework, interpretation, and pathway around data and smart city nexus to subvert surveillance capitalism in light of emerging and further promising practical cases. This article illustrates an open debate in data governance and the data justice field related to current trends and challenges in smart cities, resulting in a new approach advocated for and recently coined by the UN-Habitat programme People-Centred Smart Cities.

Last month, UNICEF published a Manifesto on Good Data Governance for Children, an initiative that was the result of a year of collaboration between a working group of 17 experts, many of them affiliated with the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society and UNICEF.

MyData Global announces to have joined forces with Team Data Spaces a coalition of leading European players with experience in standardising, creating and operationalising data sharing to facilitate the development of European data spaces which are at the heart of the EUs data strategy.

2021 has been a productive year for MyData Global, and a significant one for the wider personal data world. The Facebook Files helped raise the issue of personal data and ethics to the general public, and the EUs Data Governance Act has helped put into practice many of the changes MyData Global has been advocating for.

The data sharing market is taking off and there is enormous uncaptured value. Many organisations are looking for new trustworthy ways to create value from data collaboration. Individuals can also benefit tremendously if data can be more readily shared across service providers.

You will learn about business models, compliance with complex regulatory regimes, standards, and governance mechanisms. You will be connected with EU funding opportunities, and you will learn how to build successful partnerships with companies and cities

Data sovereignty has gained much recent attention, whilst interpreted in varied ways. MyData Global describes in this blog post what to make of data sovereignty when taking a human-centric approach to personal data.

In order to improve the competitiveness of EUs workforce, the strategy identifies a need for high-quality data for qualifications, learning opportunities, jobs and skill sets of people.

Last week, the Prime Minister of Finland, Sanna Marin, stated that she will not give consent to the media to take and publish photos of her child. This led to wide discussion and international headlines even though the right to privacy is guaranteed under the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
