Consent, Control, Currency:
Data Ownership Redefined

Data Independence

In Data Independence: Reclaiming Privacy in an Era of Evolving Tech, Wes unveils the hidden dynamics of how corporations and entities use our personal data footprints — often without our complete knowledge or understanding. This compelling book provides a deep dive into the methods used to collect, augment, and monetize data, revealing the pervasive impact on privacy and personal freedom.

A new paradigm for data Consent, data Control, and data Currency (C3) is introduced to ensure the power of data is managed by the people, the rightful owners. In this future, data can be accessed through the groundbreaking concept of the Personal Data Vault Key (PDVK), a tool that enables individuals to exercise C3, while ensuring transparency, accountability, protection, equality, and respect (TAPER). Through vivid case studies and a detailed exploration of the data economy, Data Independence empowers readers to reclaim their digital sovereignty and navigate the complexities of data ownership in the modern world. Join the data independence movement and reclaim your data power. Your data, your rules, your “data vote”.
