WHy would I sell my data to anyone?
For money Also i the future selling your data can become useful for your own convenience. Example, you dont know what to eat, but your refrigerator knows everything in your fridge and what you ate the past 1-2 weeks. You upload your fridge data to a cooking receipt app, that can suggest meals you can make with the stuff you have in your fridge and is divers from anything you ate that week.
Just one example of the many applications possible with data
You want to give it for free or sell it for money?
I can think of many use cases where i would sell my data, and use it to my own advantage to make life easier, like the example i stated before
Well, I am a privacy-oriented person and I don't want to sell my data but, I can't stop facebook and twitter to sell my data because I need them. Not sure what will be datum's pitch to convince me. Just money is not enough. If they could cut down the fb, twitter etc. that would be nice.
Just to take your example of facebook and twitter. If they collect your personal data to sell them and you don't want to relinquish them, why not take what Datum offers and make money with that data. With using facebook you already gave up your privacy so why not benefit from it.
In an ideal world, probably i would never sell my data. But in this one, they are already taking it for free without asking me. If i am already giving away for free, if i have some chance, i would definitely get some money for it.
Yeah that's exactly what I mean. If you have to give away your personal data anyway, you should at least try to get some sort of reward for it!
I could think about it only after knowing what data datum wants to sell or I have right to choose what I share.
the data that makes companies money, like your specific likes, location and shopping behavior
But you can choose what data you want to sell to the companies, as I understood. Like there is a marketplace with companies searching for specific type of data, you can say I will sell them this and that, for example your health information on your phone, or your recent facebook states.
I think that the data in the array will be classified for buyers. No one needs chaotic unsorted data. The data buyer has a specific request. For example, a buyer wants to buy the data of people suffering from a certain disease in order to offer them some new medicine. If these people agreed to sell information about their health in the database. Although it is possible that some data on health pharmaceutical companies are already collected behind the scenes using any electronic bracelets and mobile applications to control the circulatory system for hypertensives. But Datum offers to sell this data, which looks more correct than the unsolicited collection and analysis of personal data through social networks, for example.
