Here’s your challenge

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has the purpose of making significantly easier for citizens to have any data which is stored with one service provider transmitted directly to another provider.

This means European residents need you to develop interoperable solutions that enable data portability and tackle the following issues:

Service portability

empower users to share their data with any service provider and host that they trust

Data Compatibility & Interoperability

facilitate switches between service providers

Security & Privacy

ensure the security & privacy of consumers when their personal data are transferred from one provider to another

Do you have an idea to solve Data Portability Challenges?
