The data donor programme is built around consent. The data is only collected and used for the intended purposes as described when consenting. If the purpose needs to change or there are new purposes, the data donor programme will ask for consent.

Is it secure?

The digi.me data wallet uses military like technology to secure your personal data and only you have access. Digi.me has been independently vetted for all types of data including medical records in a number of countries.

When you donate your data it is pseudonymised and privacy preserving techniques are applied before it is stored in a secure data repository. Only authorised persons can access this and only for the purposes you consented for.
