Our purpose

Personal data is yours — not a product to be bought and sold.

In today's digital age, your data is too often treated as a commodity, traded without your knowledge or consent. We exist to change that.

Rebalance power

Between individuals and the companies that depend on their data.

Advocate for rights

Ensuring ownership, transparency and control sit with the individual.

Shape technology & policy

Making the digital world fairer and more secure for everyone.

What we do

Five commitments that guide our work

To empower digital citizens by ensuring ownership, control and transparency — while advocating for ethical data practices at every level of society.

01

Protect your data rights

We ensure organisations follow strict rules when accessing your data. You can control, share and revoke access at any time.

02

Develop fair rules

Clear terms: for individuals, rules that protect ownership; for companies, responsibilities that prevent misuse.

03

Distribute free digital IDs

Free digital identities for underserved communities, so everyone can participate securely in the digital world.

04

Advocate for change

We work with governments and international bodies to influence data policy and protect rights globally.

05

Ensure fair technology

We review and approve the KiKiPa technology roadmap to ensure it stays user-focused and ethical.

The evidence

Data protection is a growing global issue

As populations come online, the gap between people and the systems that hold their data widens. The rise of artificial intelligence — trained on vast troves of personal data — is accelerating the problem.

How we work

An independent guardian of the KiKiPa ecosystem

We work alongside KiKiPa while remaining wholly independent — representing users, governing the rules, and holding the platform to its principles.

We oversee and enforce the terms and conditions for both individuals and subscribing organisations, creating a balanced and transparent system.
We collaborate with KiKiPa to develop and refine technologies aligned, first and always, with user-first principles.
Why Switzerland

Anchored in a tradition of trust
