🏢 Private Data Pod for Business

Give your users
real data ownership.

Private Data Pod is built on the W3C Solid open standard — the same foundation that powers data portability, GDPR compliance, and user-controlled data sharing across industries. Tell us your use case and let’s explore what’s possible.

⚖️

Built for compliance

GDPR Article 20 mandates data portability. Solid pods satisfy it by design — each user owns their data store, exports are automatic, and you stop being the liability.

🤝

Build trust as a differentiator

Users are increasingly aware of data surveillance. Offering a pod-backed product signals that you’re on their side — turning privacy into a competitive advantage, not a footnote.

🧩

Decentralised by design

No vendor lock-in for you or your customers. Data lives in standardised Linked Data containers that any Solid-compatible app can read and write. Your product becomes part of an interoperable ecosystem.

Who is exploring this?

Early business interest spans several industries. What’s your space?

How it works

From your app to a user-owned pod

1

Each user gets a pod

A personal data store at their own URL — fully managed, secured with WebID authentication, and accessible only by apps the user authorises.

2

Your app reads & writes

Use the Solid HTTP API or our Vault SDK to store structured data in the user’s pod. The data model is open; no proprietary schemas required.

3

Users control access

Users can grant or revoke your app’s access at any time. They can also share their data with other apps — with no action from you.

Tell us your use case

No sales pitch, no commitment. Share your data challenge and we’ll explore how pods might solve it. We respond to every submission personally.

Built on W3C Solid — an open standard, not a proprietary platform

The Solid protocol was developed by the inventor of the World Wide Web, Sir Tim Berners-Lee. Private Data Pod is a hosted implementation — no lock-in, no black box. Bring your own client, use existing open-source tooling, or build on our Vault SDK.
