DataWallet Launches to Empower Consumers to Claim the Profits Made with Their Data

After a long wait, blood, sweat and tears, I’m proud to tell you that today we are officially launching the DataWallet marketplace.

Now, for the first time, you can claim back data ownership and get paid for the data that is rightfully yours.

So how does DataWallet work?

Using DataWallet is free and involves three easy steps:

Connect the data you feel comfortable sharing. This can be data from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest, with more platforms to be added in the coming months.

Select your Data Buyers. You can choose from more than 19 types of Data Buyers to sell your data to — from marketing agencies to producers of household appliances to banks.

Enjoy! Sit back and relax, while we take care of all the work. Whenever a company uses your data, you’ll get paid.

How much can I expect to make?

You will get paid $1-$50 each time your data is sold. The amount depends on three things:

The amount of data you connect. The more data you link to your DataWallet profile, the more value it will have.

The amount of data that Data Buyers purchase. The more companies you allow to buy your data, the higher the likelihood that you’ll make a sale.

Some luck. How much you make will depend, to an extent, on what the Data Buyers are looking for, and how unique or relevant your data is to them.

One important note: the more Data Buyers we get on the DataWallet platform, the more often you’ll get paid and the more you’ll get paid when your data is purchased. In the early stages of DataWallet, it may take a couple of weeks to get your first data sale. But the more data you connect, the more easily we can attract more Data Buyers. We’ve just started building out the data marketplace, and we need your help to keep doing that. So please spread the word and help us get as many people as possible paid for their data!

Is DataWallet secure?
Yes! When Data Buyers buy your data, they don’t get your raw, personally identifiable data: they get an analysis of your data, along with that of a couple thousand other DataWallet users. We never share any personally identifiable information about you, whether it’s your name, email, Twitter handle or photos. We also handle all data ourselves, and no third party ever gets direct access to it. So we can guarantee that your data is always 100% anonymized and 100% secure.

When can I get started?
Right now! Well, if you’re in the top 1,000 on our waitlist that is. 😁 Every 4 weeks, we’ll let another 1,000 users from our waitlist into the app. You can download the app from the App Store now, and we’ll notify you once you’re in:
