The Mee Foundation

Follow an architectural pattern which places you and your Mee smartwallet at the center of all personal data flows. Flows of personal data should always be mediated by your smartwallet and none of your data should flow directly from one organization’s app/site to another.

Shift as much control as possible over your personal data to you, while complying with applicable law. Your explicitl opt-in must be requested for any processing, and you must have the ability to delegate access to your data to others.

Where personal data must be collected by entities, we promote your ability to access, edit, and delete you data regardless of what entity collects it. These rights enable you to move it freely from one entity to another within the Mee personal data network, as well as to download a copy of it.

Promote the development of personal, trusted, software to empower you and work entirely on your behalf.

You should have a digital embodiment of yourself that is as independent as possible of anyone else's infrastructure, servers and services.

Promote decentralized architectures where power and control are distributed and not centralized in a few entities or platforms.

We believe in open practices, transparency, and accountability. This principle extends to our organizational practices, governance, and the software we develop. Our software is published on GitHub.

We are a non-profit that works on your behalf. We have no incentive to make money from your personal data.

Require that all service providers' apps/sites that exchange data on the Mee personal data network be authorized by us. They must comply with our UX guidelines and agree to a Mee License agreement that constrains how they manage your personal data so as to maximize your privacy.

Employ the best security practices in software development and operations.

Offer services free of charge to ensure that everyone has access to, and can participate in, the benefits of control over their personal information regardless of geographic location, socioeconomic status, or preferred technology platform.
