openPDS allows users to collect, store, and give fine-grained access to their 
data all while protecting their privacy.

With the rise of smartphones and their built-in sensors as well as web-apps, an 
increasing amount of personal data is being silently collected. Personal 
data–digital information about users’ location, calls, web-searches, and 
preferences–is undoubtedly the oil of the new economy. However, the lack of 
access to the data makes it very hard if not impossible for an individual to 
understand and manage the risks associated with the collected data. Therefore, 
advancements in using and mining this data have to evolve in parallel with 
considerations about ownership and privacy.

Many of the initial and critical steps towards individuals data ownership are 
technological. Given the huge number of data sources that a user interacts with 
on a daily basis, interoperability is not enough. Rather, the user needs to 
actually own a secured space, a Personal Data Store (PDS) acting as a 
centralized location where his data live. Owning a PDS would allow the user to 
view and reason about the data collected. The user can then truly control the 
flow of data and manage fine-grained authorizations for accessing his data.
