User Data Ownership

Definition

User data ownership signifies the principle that individuals have ultimate control and dominion over the information they generate and share. In the context of digital assets and blockchain technology, this concept is often realized through decentralized identity solutions and cryptographic methods that grant users sole authority over their personal data. It contrasts with traditional models where centralized entities often possess and manage user information, thereby enabling users to grant or revoke access permissions and potentially monetize their data. This paradigm shift is central to the evolution of digital privacy and control.
