Data Independence: Reclaiming Privacy in an Age of Evolving Tech

Revolutionize how you consent, control, and currency your data

About the Book

In Data Independence: Reclaiming Privacy in an Age of Evolving Tech, Wes Chaar exposes how personal data is collected, used, and traded, often without our complete knowledge or understanding.

Chaar introduces a new paradigm for data Consent, data Control, and data Currency (C3). He outlines a new approach to data that will ensure the power of data is controlled by the people, the rightful owners of the data. In the future, your data could be accessed through a Personal Data Vault Key (PDVK) in which you—and only you—have the key. In this new data ecosystem, the people have the power, their control of their privacy is enshrined as sacred, and bolstered by Transparency, Accountability, Protection, Equality, and Respect (TAPER).

Through detailed case studies and forward-thinking analyses, Data Independence equips readers with the knowledge and tools to regain sovereignty over their digital lives, fostering a new era of informed and empowered data use.
