users' data – users' decision
You have a right to privacy. Especially on the internet!
It has become impossible to move around on the internet without leaving traces. Buckets of money are being made with our personal data at the expense of our privacy. And what do we get out of it? Not much. Help us change that!
What is the value of your data? It depends
There are different considerations about the value of your data. They depend on the type and quality of the data, and from whom it originates. One indication can be how valuable a user was considered when a company was sold or went public.
Nowadays all data is stored at central points
Today's data economy is centrally structured. This means that all data is stored, evaluated, and distributed at central points. These central points are servers or clouds, behind which are multiple servers.
Each of these servers belongs to a company that has control over our data. It decides what is stored and how it is evaluated. The company also decides to whom they will distribute or sell our data, or the results of the analysis.
With great power comes great responsibility
There is nothing wrong with monopolies. Not even data monopolies like Facebook, Amazon or Google. It becomes problematic when monopolies intervene deeply in our society, economy and states. We do not accuse anyone of being a bad actor. But we do question whether they are capable of living up to their immense responsibilities.
Europe has lost most of its data capital
This concerns us all, whether you are a citizen, an entrepreneur, or a civil servant. We are all affected, and each of us suffers our share of the consequences. The money, however, is lost to us all.

Our polyPod – Protects your privacy
The polyPod ensures that private matters remain private
You are asked when someone wants to know something about you. This sums up what the polyPod does for you. With polyPod you always control who knows what about you, who is allowed to know what about you, and what no one should know about you.

Our cooperative – Your voice
Achieving together what is impossible alone
We have decided to share our technology and make cooperative members co-owners. We have no desire to build a new data monopoly. We want to fundamentally change the way we deal with our data. This can only be done together! That is why we formed a cooperative.
If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together!
We are slowly becoming aware of how powerful data is. We are also discovering who controls these data sets and how they can be manipulated. If you are also beginning to question if data monopolists should be trusted with such immense power, then you should join us. Nothing will change by wishing it so. Together we can make a positive difference.
Protected together!
Achieving goals works better together rather than doing it alone. This is the basic idea of a cooperative. Fundamental decisions are made together in the General Assembly of members. As a member, you have one vote, regardless of how many shares you own. This protects the Cooperative from dominance of individual majority owners, and also from "hostile takeovers".
We offer a solution that lets you know who has access to your data. Determine who may see your information and delete what to keep private. Reclaim your personal data from the monopolies with the polyPod and be part of our movement!
