A recent press release reports, “Today, digi.me is announcing the launch of a new platform that will radically change the way that we view data online and provide unprecedented levels of privacy to consumers concerned about how their data is being used. Using the digi.me platform, consumers can connect with more than 15,000 sources of personal data – including social media, credit cards, banks, fitness wearables, music history, and health records. The growing catalog offers clean, structured data from many of the most used services in the world, which means a user’s digi.me library can quickly grow into tens of thousands of unique, authenticated data points. Users can then install apps specifically designed to be powered by digi.me in order to gain insights, analytics, and other valuable information about their lives.”

The release continues, “Digi.me is also different because it does not store a user’s data library on a centralized server. Once the data is downloaded and compiled, it is encrypted and stored on a personal cloud service (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive) of the user’s choosing. Because the user stores their data library in their own personal cloud, they retain full ownership and control over it. Digi.me never sees, touches, or holds individual data in what is a truly decentralized approach to app/data integration. ‘We are offering a solution that gives people control over the single most important input in the digital world — their own data,’ said Shane Green, CEO (US) of digi.me. ‘While other copies of that data may exist in corporate or government silos, we as individuals have the unique advantage of being able to combine all of it in one place and give clear consent to its use’.”
