Protecting information in the data economy
The collection of data, which is as old as book-keeping, has undergone a remarkable transformation. The rise of information technology has created new opportunities to collect and analyse. Europe’s presence and potential value in the data economy is growing strong but also requires trusted, secure and ethically-driven personal data platforms and privacy-aware analytics methods. The EU-funded DataVaults project is responding to these needs. It is developing a framework and a platform that has personal data coming from diverse sources in its centre, and that defines secure, trusted and privacy preserving mechanisms. This allows individuals to take ownership and control of their data and share them at will, through flexible data sharing and fair compensation schemes with other entities. |
