A contract from you to them
Companies always make you sign their long, unreadable legal agreements to use their sites or apps. We turned the tables and developed the
Owner Data Agreement to provide you with your own legal protections.
This simple, legally binding contract ensures that you own the data you choose to manage in Personal, not us or anyone else. And when you grant access to others -- people or companies -- it gives you the peace of mind that they acknowledge your ownership rights and will only use your data as intended.

"It's like patenting your data"
Current laws do not recognize your personal data as your intellectual property. We worked with Jon Dudas, the most recent Director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, to develop this novel approach. Watch Jon explain how registering with Personal is similar to "patenting your data."
