The Mee Foundation

A nonprofit whose mission is to give people more control over their personal data.

Our Principles

Here’s what we live by

Human Centered
Follow an architectural pattern which places you and your Mee apps at the center of all personal data flows. Flows of personal data should always be mediated by your app and none of your data should flow directly from one service provider app/site to another.
User Control and Privacy
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.
Data Rights and Portability
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 Data Network, as well as to download a copy of it.
Agency
Promote the development of personal, trusted, software to empower you and work entirely on your behalf.
Autonomy
You should have a digital embodiment of yourself that is as independent as possible of administrative authorities.
Decentralization
Promote decentralized architectures where power and control are distributed and not centralized in a few entities or platforms.
Openness and Transparency
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.
Loyalty
We are a non-profit that works on your behalf. We have no incentive to make money from your personal data.
Authorization
Require that all service providers' apps/sites that exchange data on the Mee 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.
Security
Employ the best security practices in software development and operations.
Inclusivity
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.
