DataHive brings together some of the cornerstones of personal data economies in one AI-driven and blockchain-based concept. It couples decentralized, self-sovereign identity management together with user-controlled and transferrable personal data profiles. Users are given power in the form of effective consent management.As the users opt-in to share their data, they get in return a number of useful services: A universal login to sign in to websites. A credit and reputation score for financial services, and truly personalized product and service offers. There’s even an option to automate repeating online tasks with an AI-powered assistant.To companies, DataHive provides an ethical and sustainable way to collect consumer data and manage user consent for marketing purposes. Instead of building their own identification and KYC (Know Your Customer) solutions, companies can rely on the identity and profile that the users carry with themselves on DataHive. Companies get rich consumer insights based on the coupling of financial and consumption data, and can create product offerings with a level and accuracy of personalization never seen before. This, of course, happens only with the consent of the users, which they can change or withdraw at any time.
