Why is my data safe at OwnYourData?
Encryption to prevent data theft
All data in the data vault is end-to-end encrypted. I.e., even if someone steals data from your data vault it is encrypted and therefore useless. Only you have the key to decrypt your data and this key is never stored in the data vault.
Secured against unauthorized data access and data leaks
OwnYourData enables you to analyze your data using algorithms from an open marketplace. A restricted environment (“sandbox”) makes sure sure that those algorithms do not access unauthorized data and do not leak data externally. Additionally, any data access and transfer is logged and regularly checked.
Choose trusted location for data processing
If you have physical access to the computer that performs a data analysis you can read the raw data. Therefore, OwnYourData allows you to run services with access to raw data on your local and trusted hardware (e.g., your laptop or a Raspberry Pi). With this design approach you have the comfort of a cloud service and the privacy of a on-premise solution.
Data verification in the blockchain
To guarantee immutability and timeliness of data in your data vault OwnYourData stores the hash value of any new or updated record in the Ethereum blockchain. This provides an independent way to verify correctness and timestamp of your data.
