The Data Collaboration Alliance is a nonprofit that's dedicated to helping people and organizations get full control of their information.
We see control (through the reduction of data silos and copy-based data integration) as the key to unlocking meaningful data ownership, simplified compliance, and super-efficient innovation.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES
UNIVERSAL
CONTROL
We support approaches to digital innovation that minimize data silos and copies in order to make meaningful control possible.
UNIVERSAL
OWNERSHIP
We believe that data ownership is a human right and control should be in the hands of the rightful owner or a temporary custodian they appoint.
UNIVERSAL
ACCESS
We support frictionless innovation that's powered by collaboration between people and systems and protected by owner-defined access grants.
