The Data Passport system is a suite of technical services that builds on Dataswift One’s decentralised capability to enable organisations to create data networks. It comprises of 3 services - (1) Data Connector Services to bring source data into PDAs, (2) A Data Passport Service to display data within a consumer app and (3) a Merchant Data Terminal Service to receive data from a PDA when the individual shares it. The Data Passport issuer create Data Passes - a description of a bundle of data within a PDA that can attract complementary services (offers) from partners within a network, usually called a Merchant. Should a user wishes to go to the merchant and accept their offer, the merchant will benefit from the audience, the data, or both. Any data transaction would result in a licensing of the PDA data described on the Data Pass from the individual to the merchant. <br /> <br /> '''Dataswift Prime'''.

This platform is part of Dataswift’s Enterprise Solution with Economic and Business Model Frameworks for centralised, decentralised and distributed data architectures to assist enterprises in creating value with data.<br /> <br /> =Governance=<br /> Data stored within Personal Data Accounts on the Dataswift One platform is out of scope of global data regulations due to individuals being the data controllers and processors of their own data. Hence, a governance and regulatory framework was put in place, guided by the original research project on how the ecosystem should be organised, managed and regulated. This is part of the &quot;institutional rearrangement&quot; of the ecosystem using a combination of technology, markets and regulatory controls. <br /> <br /> The company is governed on 2 levels by HCF. At the corporate level, HCF owns a guardian share of Dataswift and sits on its board, to ensure directors perform their fiduciary duty to uphold Dataswift’s complementary social purpose “to operate for the public benefit, a digital exchange for the exchange of personal information including data processing, hosting and related activities”. At the operational level, HCF has oversight over Dataswift One Platform through the Platform Management Committee that decides on any changes to various Platform policies, technical artefacts (e.g. APIs) and risk assessment of data contracts. Dataswift cannot set up the contracts between Application owners and server owners if risks fall outside approved parameters set by the governance framework and the approval of the contract (and hence the app) would have to be escalated to HCF. Where there is ambiguity in contracts, the HCF Ethics Board would have to be consulted. Application owners have recourse to appeal to HCF in the unlikely event that a contract to use a PDA is denied. All PDS owners are members of HCF when they own a PDS and all Application owners are corporate members of HCF when their app goes live. As a consequence of the legal and governance framework, Dataswift is able to be a fully commercial enterprise to scale its infrastructure and build new networks and markets that have not been possible before.<br /> <br /> =Business Model=<br /> Dataswift provide “Decentralization-as-a-service” (DCaaS) through a per PDA user per month fee starting from $0.10 with user inactivity rebates of up to 80% for numbers in access of 100k.

Dataswift provides a no-code onboarding of partners to offer services and content for the Data Passes. Network-as-a-service enables consumer app owners to derive income from creating a data network with their partners through listing, traffic and data sharing fees paid by Merchant Partners. The network income are distributed 50% to the Passport issuer and 50% to Dataswift as network operator.<br /> <br /> Universal Data Passes such as income verification, age verification or National Passport verification are add-ons to a Data Passport that any app/website can incorporate.<br /> <br /> The Governance and Business Model of Dataswift was informed by the following grants:<br /> <br /> The original hub-of-all-Things [https://gow.epsrc.ukri.org/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/K039911/1 HAT Project], [https://gow.epsrc.ukri.org/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/K003542/2 Digital Economy 'New Economic Models' Network+], EP/K003542/2 (grant amount £580k), British Academy-SAMS Small Research Grant: Smart City and Smart Citizens: New Business and Economic Models of Urban Living, EP/L023911/1, (Grant Amount £10k), [https://gow.epsrc.ukri.org/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/N028422/1 Control and Trust as Moderating Mechanisms in addressing Vulnerability for the Design of Business and Economic Models (ConTriVE)], EP/N028422/1 (Grant amount=£1m), [https://gow.epsrc.ukri.org/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/L023911/1 RCUK/EPSRC Research in the Wild: Smart Me versus Smart Things: The Development of a Personal Resource Planning (PRP) System through Human Interactions with Data Enabled by the IoT] (Grant amount=£485k)<br /> <br /> =Economic Model=<br /> The Data Passport issuer networks designed and implemented by Dataswift is a combination of technical code, “[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institutional_theory institutional]” work and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_design market design].

The Data Passport system is a suite of technical services that builds on Dataswift One’s decentralised capability to enable organisations to create data networks. It comprises of 3 services - (1) Data Connector Services to bring source data into PDAs, (2) A Data Passport Service to display data within a consumer app and (3) a Merchant Data Terminal Service to receive data from a PDA when the individual shares it. The Data Passport issuer create Data Passes - a description of a bundle of data within a PDA that can attract complementary services (offers) from partners within a network, usually called a Merchant. Should a user wishes to go to the merchant and accept their offer, the merchant will benefit from the audience, the data, or both. Any data transaction would result in a licensing of the PDA data described on the Data Pass from the individual to the merchant. <br /> <br /> '''Dataswift Prime'''.

This platform is part of Dataswift’s Enterprise Solution with Economic and Business Model Frameworks for centralised, decentralised and distributed data architectures to assist enterprises in creating value with data.<br /> <br /> =Governance=<br /> Data stored within Personal Data Accounts on the Dataswift One platform is out of scope of global data regulations due to individuals being the data controllers and processors of their own data. Hence, a governance and regulatory framework was put in place, guided by the original research project on how the ecosystem should be organised, managed and regulated. This is part of the &quot;institutional rearrangement&quot; of the ecosystem using a combination of technology, markets and regulatory controls. <br /> <br /> The company is governed on 2 levels by HCF. At the corporate level, HCF owns a guardian share of Dataswift and sits on its board, to ensure directors perform their fiduciary duty to uphold Dataswift’s complementary social purpose “to operate for the public benefit, a digital exchange for the exchange of personal information including data processing, hosting and related activities”. At the operational level, HCF has oversight over Dataswift One Platform through the Platform Management Committee that decides on any changes to various Platform policies, technical artefacts (e.g. APIs) and risk assessment of data contracts. Dataswift cannot set up the contracts between Application owners and server owners if risks fall outside approved parameters set by the governance framework and the approval of the contract (and hence the app) would have to be escalated to HCF. Where there is ambiguity in contracts, the HCF Ethics Board would have to be consulted. Application owners have recourse to appeal to HCF in the unlikely event that a contract to use a PDA is denied. All PDS owners are members of HCF when they own a PDS and all Application owners are corporate members of HCF when their app goes live. As a consequence of the legal and governance framework, Dataswift is able to be a fully commercial enterprise to scale its infrastructure and build new networks and markets that have not been possible before.<br /> <br /> =Business Model=<br /> Dataswift provide “Decentralization-as-a-service” (DCaaS) through a per PDA user per month fee starting from $0.10 with user inactivity rebates of up to 80% for numbers in access of 100k.

Dataswift provides a no-code onboarding of partners to offer services and content for the Data Passes. Network-as-a-service enables consumer app owners to derive income from creating a data network with their partners through listing, traffic and data sharing fees paid by Merchant Partners. The network income are distributed 50% to the Passport issuer and 50% to Dataswift as network operator.<br /> <br /> Universal Data Passes such as income verification, age verification or National Passport verification are add-ons to a Data Passport that any app/website can incorporate.<br /> <br /> The Governance and Business Model of Dataswift was informed by the following grants:<br /> <br /> The original hub-of-all-Things [https://gow.epsrc.ukri.org/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/K039911/1 HAT Project], [https://gow.epsrc.ukri.org/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/K003542/2 Digital Economy 'New Economic Models' Network+], EP/K003542/2 (grant amount £580k), British Academy-SAMS Small Research Grant: Smart City and Smart Citizens: New Business and Economic Models of Urban Living, EP/L023911/1, (Grant Amount £10k), [https://gow.epsrc.ukri.org/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/N028422/1 Control and Trust as Moderating Mechanisms in addressing Vulnerability for the Design of Business and Economic Models (ConTriVE)], EP/N028422/1 (Grant amount=£1m), [https://gow.epsrc.ukri.org/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/L023911/1 RCUK/EPSRC Research in the Wild: Smart Me versus Smart Things: The Development of a Personal Resource Planning (PRP) System through Human Interactions with Data Enabled by the IoT] (Grant amount=£485k)<br /> <br /> =Economic Model=<br /> The Data Passport issuer networks designed and implemented by Dataswift is a combination of technical code, “[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institutional_theory institutional]” work and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_design market design].

At the corporate level, HCF owns a guardian share of Dataswift and sits on its board, to ensure directors perform their fiduciary duty to uphold Dataswift’s complementary social purpose “to operate for the public benefit, a digital exchange for the exchange of personal information including data processing, hosting and related activities”.

Dataswift cannot set up the contracts between Application owners and server owners if risks fall outside approved parameters set by the governance framework and the approval of the contract (and hence the app) would have to be escalated to HCF. Where there is ambiguity in contracts, the HCF Ethics Board would have to be consulted. Application owners have recourse to appeal to HCF in the unlikely event that a contract to use a PDA is denied. All PDS owners are members of HCF when they own a PDS and all Application owners are corporate members of HCF when their app goes live.

Dataswift provide developers with infrastructure (compute, storage, database), APIs, and SDKs to build apps that are compliant with strict new privacy laws like GDPR and CCPA. Dataswift One also enables secure and legal transactions and sharing of sensitive personal data through the individual by being able to transform third and first party data to zero party data for licensing by individuals themselves.<br /> <br /> '''Data Passport System'''. The Data Passport system is a suite of technical services that builds on Dataswift One’s decentralised capability to enable organisations to create data networks. It comprises of 3 services - (1) Data Connector Services to bring source data into PDAs, (2) A Data Passport Service to display data within a consumer app and (3) a Merchant Data Terminal Service to receive data from a PDA when the individual shares it. The Data Passport issuer create Data Passes - a description of a bundle of data within a PDA that can attract complementary services (offers) from partners within a network, usually called a Merchant. Should a user wishes to go to the merchant and accept their offer, the merchant will benefit from the audience, the data, or both. Any data transaction would result in a licensing of the PDA data described on the Data Pass from the individual to the merchant. <br /> <br /> '''Dataswift Prime'''. Dataswift One’s sister platform for Organisations with their own Organisation Data Servers. This platform is part of Dataswift’s Enterprise Solution with Economic and Business Model Frameworks for centralised, decentralised and distributed data architectures to assist enterprises in creating value with data.<br /> <br /> =Governance and Business Model=<br /> Data stored within Personal Data Accounts on the Dataswift One platform is out of scope of global data regulations due to individuals being the data controllers and processors of their own data. Hence, a governance and regulatory framework was put in place, guided by the original research project on how the ecosystem should be organised, managed and regulated. This is part of the &quot;institutional rearrangement&quot; of the ecosystem using a combination of technology, markets and regulatory controls. <br /> <br /> The company is governed on 2 levels by HCF. At the corporate level, HCF owns a guardian share of Dataswift and sits on its board, to ensure directors perform their fiduciary duty to uphold Dataswift’s complementary social purpose “to operate for the public benefit, a digital exchange for the exchange of personal information including data processing, hosting and related activities”. At the operational level, HCF has oversight over Dataswift One Platform through the Platform Management Committee that decides on any changes to various Platform policies, technical artefacts (e.g. APIs) and risk assessment of data contracts. Dataswift cannot set up the contracts between Application owners and server owners if risks fall outside approved parameters set by the governance framework and the approval of the contract (and hence the app) would have to be escalated to HCF. Where there is ambiguity in contracts, the HCF Ethics Board would have to be consulted. Application owners have recourse to appeal to HCF in the unlikely event that a contract to use a PDA is denied. All PDS owners are members of HCF when they own a PDS and all Application owners are corporate members of HCF when their app goes live. As a consequence of the legal and governance framework, Dataswift is able to be a fully commercial enterprise to scale its infrastructure and build new networks and markets that have not been possible before.<br /> <br /> The Governance and Business Model of Dataswift was informed by the following grants:<br /> <br /> The original hub-of-all-Things [https://gow.epsrc.ukri.org/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/K039911/1 HAT Project], [https://gow.epsrc.ukri.org/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/K003542/2 Digital Economy 'New Economic Models' Network+], EP/K003542/2 (grant amount £580k), British Academy-SAMS Small Research Grant: Smart City and Smart Citizens: New Business and Economic Models of Urban Living, EP/L023911/1, (Grant Amount £10k), [https://gow.epsrc.ukri.org/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/N028422/1 Control and Trust as Moderating Mechanisms in addressing Vulnerability for the Design of Business and Economic Models (ConTriVE)], EP/N028422/1 (Grant amount=£1m), [https://gow.epsrc.ukri.org/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/L023911/1 RCUK/EPSRC Research in the Wild: Smart Me versus Smart Things: The Development of a Personal Resource Planning (PRP) System through Human Interactions with Data Enabled by the IoT] (Grant amount=£485k)<br /> <br /> =Economic Model=<br /> The Data Passport issuer networks designed and implemented by Dataswift is a combination of technical code, “[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institutional_theory institutional]” work and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_design market design].

The Symposium on the Digital Person is an annual event organized by the HAT Community Foundation (HCF) and Dataswift that discusses personal data from three perspectives: Digital personhood, law, freedom and democracy (humanities) Value, economics and markets (social science) Data analytics, data science and technology (science and technology).<br /> |Start Date=2022-03-01<br /> |Location=Online<br /> |Website=https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/5th-annual-symposium-of-the-digital-person-registration-120019927835<br /> |Virtual Access=Yes<br /> }}<br /> The theme for the 5th Symposium on the Digital Person is The Empowered Digital Person: Global Projects with Data Passports and Personal Data Servers, addressing the problem statement of equity and economic justice, as well as how Personal Data infrastructure technology is now unlocking entire markets for SMEs across verticals.<br /> The Symposium on March 1 will uncover our ecosystem partners' projects that are leveraging Data Passports and Personal Data Accounts (PDAs) to rapidly transform business models, and hopefully, entire verticals. Their emerging innovations are delivering commercial breakthroughs through data portability, whilst providing individuals with greater agency and rights, all resulting in market solutions that are finally achieving organic scalability, equity and economic balance.</div>
