🏢 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.

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.

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.
