OUR MISSION

EMPOWERING INDIVIDUALS TO TAKE CONTROL OF THEIR DIGITAL SELVES ONLINE

The HAT Community Foundation (HCF) is a non-stock organisation established to regulate personal data transactions across an ecosystem of Personal Data Accounts (PDA).

We treat personal data as a new asset class, regulating transactions on behalf of PDA owners worldwide.

The HAT ecosystem is operated by Dataswyft under license from HCF. Together we aim to foster a new generation of the Internet and the data economy – which we call Data Economy 2.0 – by empowering everyone with the ownership of their own data and enabling private, edge AI for their own benefit, and for the good of society as a whole.

WHAT WE DO

We regulate Dataswyft’s operation of the HAT Microservers on behalf of server owners worldwide.

This means that we hold the ecosystem commercial operator – Dataswyft – accountable for developing and operating the whole ecosystem in accordance with both our values and technical standards for personal data transactions. This is in addition to statutory regulation, including for example in the UK, the Financial Conduct Authority and the Information Commissioners Office.

A TECHNOLOGY & LEGAL ADVANCEMENT

 

FOR DECENTRALISED AI

The Hub of All Things (HAT) is an open-source technology designed to enable distributed personal data storage, usage and AI. Implemented as a HAT Microserver underpinning Dataswyft’s Personal Data Accounts (PDAs), the technology and associated legal code embedded within Dataswyft’s infrastructure platform enables universal ID for apps and websites.
