A Private Data Pod is your personal data vault — a secure place on the internet that you own, control, and carry between apps.
Connect apps to your pod instead of signing up to each one separately. Revoke access anytime. No ads, no tracking, no lock-in.
The problem
Every app you use — social networks, email, cloud storage — stores your data on their servers. They monetise it. You have no say.
Switching apps means starting from scratch. Your files, history, and preferences are locked inside each platform. You never truly own them.
Your life is spread across dozens of silos. A single breach at any one of them puts your most sensitive information at risk.
The solution
Instead of your data living inside each app, it lives in your pod. Apps connect to your pod and ask for permission. You decide what to share, with whom, and for how long.
A pod is a private, secure storage space on the internet. It’s yours. Not Google’s, not Apple’s, not anyone else’s. You decide who can read it, who can write to it, and you can revoke access in seconds.
Apps work differently with a pod. Instead of storing your documents inside Dropbox or your files inside Google Drive, those apps connect to your pod and read or write data there. When you stop using an app, your data stays — in your pod, under your control.
It’s built on Solid — an open standard for the web created by Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web. No proprietary formats, no lock-in, ever.
Getting started
Sign up and a personal data vault is provisioned for you instantly. It’s hosted on our servers but owned entirely by you — your own private address on the internet. Free to start, no card needed.
Open any compatible app and sign in with your pod. The app asks what it needs access to and you approve each request. Your documents and files stay in your pod — not trapped inside the app.
At any time you can view exactly which apps have access to your pod and revoke that access instantly. No emails to support, no waiting period — just you, making decisions about your own data.
Connected apps
Each app stores its data inside your pod — so you keep full ownership even if you stop using the app.
A personal cloud drive backed entirely by your pod. Store, organise, and access your files from anywhere — with no platform taking a cut of your data.
Build and own your professional resume. It lives in your pod — not on a platform that could disappear, gate-keep it, or sell your career history.
Solid is a W3C standard. Your pod uses open formats that any compatible app can read. You’re never trapped with a single vendor.
Because it’s based on an open standard, you can move your pod to any compatible host — or even run your own server — and all your apps keep working.
Every permission an app has is recorded in your pod. You can audit, modify, or revoke it at any time directly from your pod’s settings page.
Why it matters
Nothing leaves your pod without your explicit permission. No background data sharing, no ad profiling, no surprises buried in a terms-of-service update.
Instead of your data scattered across dozens of apps, it all lives in your pod. Apps get access, not ownership. The difference matters.
Tired of an app? Walk away. Your data stays in your pod. No platform can hold your own information hostage to stop you from switching.
Your pod is accessible from any browser, any device, anywhere. It’s just the web — no special software or proprietary clients required.
