Company mission

Our take

Dataswift are enabling individuals to own and use their own data, tackling the issues of ethics, transparency and user control in personal data.

Typically, companies store user data alongside corporate data, but staying up-to-date and compliant with this data is expensive and often is non-dynamic and non-representative.

Dataswift's platform helps companies to put user data onto the user side. They have developed Hub-of-All-Things (HAT) accounts, which are personal databases, allowing people to store and manage their own user data and sensitive information.

Personal data infrastructure affects the apps and websites of companies spanning over a range of sectors globally, and people taking control of their own data is a recent and growing trend. Dataswift should be well set to capitalise on this.
