Advancing the personal data economy
Our Mission
Enabling HAT owners and HAT-enabled organisations to exchange data with privacy and security by implementing global operating standards for personal data exchange on the Internet so that the economy can thrive for the betterment of society
(Learn about the HAT here)
Create a Competitive Advantage with Personal Data
Give your Customers HAT Private ‘Microserver’ Data Accounts
We built the Milliner™ service to help organisations provision HATs from their own cloud infrastructure and to become trusted HAT service providers. Our white-labelled, open-sourced HAT dashboard and iOS app lets your customers view their HAT data with your own brand, logo and colour. All set up for you, within a week.
Do clever AI with the HAT’s privacy-preserving Data Transformation Capability
HATs can call on near-HAT Computation and functions for transformation of data that outputs only into the HAT. HAT Providers have no access to the data but they can request this data through the usual data debit, and only for the data that is relevant. Privacy preserving and Meaningful consent.
Be a Multi-sided Market
Our DEX service lets companies create an exchange platform for all types of personal data e.g. being a Health personal data exchange, a Financial personal data exchange, linking companies with HAT owners and create new revenue streams for the benefit of both sides. Ideal channel to unlock the potential of IoT data, with full control and cooperation of customers themselves.
Directly exchange data with HAT owners
We built DataBuyer to demonstrate how privacy-preserving data buying can work. DataBuyer sits on the DEX service and lets companies offer benefits for past data and even future data, influencing digital action (currently on beta testing). DataBuyer is a new model for data acquisition, one that is based on complete transparency, direct communication, and fair reimbursement. Read MoreHATDeX Technology Suite

A new data infrastructure for personal data exchanges
Privacy could be unworkable. One of the paradoxes of a privacy-preserving data exchange is that users can be private to the point that the exchange is unworkable. The analogy goes like this: think of your HAT as a private cabin in the woods. You get your privacy, but if you do not have a way of

Why your data must be yours
In modern society our data seems almost ethereal. It is a mysterious cloud of one’s and zero’s that pickpockets our phones and processes it to pinch our personality, prying through our private conversations, with enough vigor to promote paranoia… okay. I’ll go easy on the alliteration. But this data dystopia (sorry) we’ve found ourselves in
