The unfair trade

Your data already earns money — for everyone except you.

Tesco knows your dinners. Boots knows your headaches. Brokers you’ve never heard of sell both. That’s the unfair trade at the bottom of the modern economy: value flows out of your kitchen and never comes back.

Millions of people are misled and manipulated through data they gave away. Our members control their data — so they control their consumer decisions.

Your data account, working for you.

Standing orders for your data

Send data requests to the brands that store information on you — under UK GDPR, from your account. We send them, track the statutory clock, and file what comes back.

  • Boots — day 12 of 30, on the clock

  • July Tesco statement filed to your account

  • Delete any file, any time — it’s yours.
Bargaining power

Why connect more sources?

Every source you connect does two things at once: it increases the union’s bargaining power with brands, and it sharpens your own picture — spending, health signals, and who’s had access to your details.

3 sources · basic picture
5 sources · stronger position

More sources → stronger position, sharper insights.

Read-only · you approve every connection
Household plan

One membership, whole household.

Up to five accounts under one subscription — the household pools only the insights it chooses to share. Household seats roll out by invite: join today and invite your household from your account.

Like online banking — but for all of your data.
