Description
The EAT2GIVE project in Subang Jaya, Malaysia, leverages the CheckD Data Wallet to unite food lovers, local businesses, and charities in a unique fundraising initiative. By claiming the EAT2GIVE campaign badge on their CheckD wallets, food enthusiasts can support local causes every time they purchase designated menu items at participating food merchants, who pledge RM3 per validation to charity. This innovative campaign promotes community engagement and philanthropy while maintaining user privacy, enabling merchants to boost foot traffic cost-effectively, and providing organizers with seamless validation and transparent reporting. Driven by a partnership between Dataswyft, SubangFood, and TheBFG.team, EAT2GIVE fosters a culture of doing good through commerce, connecting residents and businesses in a shared purpose to strengthen the Subang Jaya community.
Challenges
Challenges including ensuring widespread adoption of the CheckD Data Wallet among foodies and merchants, which requires effective marketing and user education on the wallet’s privacy and security features. Establishing and maintaining trust among participants is critical, particularly regarding the transparent use of funds and secure handling of personal data. Encouraging merchant participation and aligning their incentives with the campaign’s charitable goals requires strategic engagement and demonstration of tangible benefits. Additionally, the project must efficiently coordinate and monitor badge validations and donation tracking to prevent errors or misuse. Lastly, sustaining momentum beyond the initial campaign period presents a challenge in fostering long-term community engagement and support for local charities.
Solutions
To address these challenges, the project employs targeted outreach and education campaigns to promote the CheckD Data Wallet's user-friendly design and privacy features, building trust among foodies and merchants. Strategic partnerships with SubangFood and TheBFG.team leverage their strong local networks to encourage merchant participation by showcasing the wallet's ability to drive foot traffic and enhance brand reputation.

Standards, Replicability, Scalability, and Sustainability
The project must adhere to several key standards to ensure its success. It requires compliance with global data protection regulations, such as GDPR, to safeguard user privacy and manage personally identifiable information (PII) securely. The CheckD Data Wallet infrastructure must meet high standards of cybersecurity to protect against unauthorized access and ensure data integrity. The project also relies on transparent financial tracking standards to validate donations and build trust among stakeholders. Furthermore, operational processes must align with industry best practices for digital wallet implementations, ensuring seamless user experiences and efficient badge validation. Adopting these standards is critical to maintaining user trust, regulatory compliance, and the campaign's credibility.
Cybersecurity and Privacy
The project implements robust cybersecurity precautions to protect user data, merchant contributions, and campaign operations. The CheckD Data Wallet uses end-to-end encryption to ensure that all user data, including personal identifiable information (PII) and credentials, is securely transmitted and stored. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is employed to safeguard user accounts from unauthorized access. Data minimization principles are applied, collecting and processing only the information necessary for badge validation and donation tracking. The system undergoes regular security audits to identify and address vulnerabilities. Role-based access controls restrict sensitive operations to authorized personnel, ensuring accountability. Additionally, the platform adheres to international data protection standards such as GDPR, implementing measures to prevent data breaches and ensure compliance with privacy laws. Real-time monitoring and incident response mechanisms are in place to detect and mitigate any potential cybersecurity threats promptly. These precautions collectively safeguard the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of data within the project.

For foodies, it offers an opportunity to contribute to local charities while enjoying unique dining experiences, all while maintaining their privacy through the CheckD Data Wallet. Local merchants benefit from increased foot traffic and brand visibility, creating economic value while supporting charitable causes. Charities receive much-needed financial support through a transparent and efficient donation system. The project also promotes digital literacy and trust in emerging technologies, such as data wallets, showcasing their potential to drive inclusive economic growth. Furthermore, it strengthens community bonds by aligning the interests of residents, businesses, and organizations toward a shared goal of social good, leaving a lasting legacy of collaboration and innovation.
Demonstration/Deployment

The project was also promoted through various marketing channels, such as social media and community outreach, to raise awareness and encourage participation. Additionally, key community partners, including SubangFood and TheBFG.team, played a role in demonstrating how the campaign fosters collaboration between businesses, consumers, and charitable organizations.
