10Bytes - Privacy Protection Solution via User Data Compensation
“If companies can be compensated for sharing data, why can’t individuals?” – In her presentation, UX designer Soyeon Kwon walks us through her award-winning concept “10Bytes“ that tackles the issues user privacy, data collection and compensation.
About the project: 10Bytes
Winnner of the "UX Design Award | New Talent" 2020
Companies like Facebook, Amazon, Instagram, and Google collect data from the public on a daily basis. This data includes our search history, location, product purchases, and photos. However, it is unknown how much data is collected and how data is used because no existing platform equips the public with the knowledge of what information is being taken.
Rather than limiting the provision of information, it is necessary to provide users the ability to actively share data and receive compensation accordingly. 10 Bytes allows users to regulate the sharing of their data with larger companies by focusing on creating a mutually beneficial and compensatory relationship between users and companies.
The UXDA-jury called 10Bytes an “outstanding concept that empowers users by restoring sovereignty over their personal data.”
