What is Pryv?
Pryv is an open-source personal data platform designed to give individuals control over their personal data and digital footprint. It allows users to collect, store, manage, and share their personal information securely while maintaining privacy.
Some key features of Pryv include:
- Secure encrypted data storage
- Tools for collecting and visualizing data
- Flexible privacy controls and data sharing options
- APIs for integrating with other apps and services
- Open-source codebase that ensures transparency
Pryv emphasizes privacy and consent, allowing users to decide what data is collected, how long it's retained, and with whom it's shared. It aims to move away from the centralized data mining models of major tech platforms toward an individual-centric approach.
By giving people a private space to store their information and greater control over their digital footprint, Pryv offers an alternative model for personal data management aligned with personal privacy and autonomy.
