Acquire data

How to acquire your data into the HAT

HAT users can acquire their own data into the HAT through data plugs.

Using Rumpel™, you can pull in data about yourself from the Internet – Facebook, calendar, photos, just to name a few – into your HAT and view it.

We work hard to help you pull more of your data in but if you are a coder, or a company that is HAT ready (how to be HAT-ready), you can register a data plug yourself (here) and help the community with more data plugs so that we can acquire more of our data into our own HATs.
