MyLife Digital has developed the Consentric Platform. Consentric empowers Citizens (directly or via Proxy) to control how an organisation uses their personal data. They can see what data an organisation collects and holds about them, it lets them rectify their data, enables them to see the processing purposes it was originally collected for. It also allows the Citizen to agree if their data can be shared with other organisations. This is all managed within a compliant framework supporting the ‘Rights of the Data Subject’ as defined in Articles 15 – 22 of the GDPR. Consentric is therefore applicable to all sectors that handle Personal Data.
