In our digitally connected universe, open data practices, that is, open approaches to handling data are crucial. With growing unease about the collection, processing, and sharing of personal information, AesirX acknowledges the importance of transparent data management and aims to be a leader in industry best practices, setting the standards for other businesses. This article explores AesirX’s dedication to honest and open data methods and the advantages this offers to both individuals and organizations.
The Impact of Open Data Practices
Being transparent is a core value for responsible data handling. It gives users the information they need to decide whether to share their data and fosters trust between companies and consumers. AesirX understands that open data practices are not only in line with what users expect, but they also create a more ethical and robust digital environment.
AesirX's Approach to Open Data Practices
→ Clear Data Collection Policies: AesirX provides businesses with clear and concise guidelines about data collection. This is available for users to see, making it easy for them to know what data is being collected and for what reasons.
→ User-Controlled Consent: AesirX employs a decentralized consent framework - known as ‘Shield of Privacy’ (see below) - allowing users to take control of their own data. They can give or withdraw permission, i.e. revoke consent, ensuring that their data is used only in ways they want and approve of.
→ Detailed Data-sharing Preferences: Companies using AesirX can set particular data-sharing preferences based on what users allow. This detailed control helps ensure that data is shared responsibly and in line with legal regulatory guidelines, such as GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).
→ Clarity in Data Utilization: AesirX Analytics provides companies with insights into how the data they've collected is being used. This open approach confirms that the data is being applied for genuine reasons and assists companies in refining their operations and strategies.
Benefits of Transparent Data Practices
1 - Cultivating User Trust and Brand Loyalty
When users understand that their data is being managed openly and ethically, they're more likely to place their trust in a company. This leads to long-lasting customer relationships and a strong sense of brand loyalty.
2 - Being Compliant with Regulation
Open and transparent data management are critical components of abiding by data protection laws. As these regulations continue to tighten, companies with a focus on transparent practices are better prepared to fulfill legal obligations.
3 - Better Ethical Standing
Businesses that embrace and adopt open data practices are viewed as both ethical and responsible. This outlook can attract consumers and partners who prioritize social responsibility, thereby strengthening a company's position in the marketplace.

In fact, websites utilizing the AesirX 4-Tier Decentralized Consent Model give their users a choice of four consent options.
1 - Session Based: Users can agree for their data to be used during a single 30-minute session.
2 - ‘Shield of Privacy’: This Web3 ID is used for consent across multiple sessions, providing a secure way to manage consent in a personalized manner.
3 - Wallet Based: Users utilize their Web3 wallet (Concordium preferred) to give decentralized consent, with the freedom to revoke permissions at any time.
