DSG Overview

Overview

Data Self-Governance (DSG) is a foundational concept in UnoLock, a platform designed to give individuals and organizations full control over their digital assets and personal data. Unlike traditional data systems that rely on third-party management, UnoLock’s DSG model ensures that only the user has authority over their information, deciding who can access, share, or modify it. At the heart of UnoLock's DSG approach is user autonomy, where every aspect of data management is controlled by the individual, with no interference from external entities. UnoLock incorporates end-to-end encryption, ensuring that all data remains private and secure at all times, with even the platform itself having no access to user data. Key features include granular access control, where users manage permissions on a highly detailed level, and legacy planning, allowing users to plan for the transfer or deletion of data in the event of incapacity or death. UnoLock also enables users to opt out of data sharing agreements or delete their data entirely when desired. In an age of increasing data breaches and privacy concerns, UnoLock’s DSG platform offers a secure and autonomous solution, empowering users with full ownership and control over their digital footprint.

Why It Matters

In an era where data breaches and privacy violations are increasingly common, DSG provides a transformative approach to data management by prioritizing user autonomy and security. By empowering users to control every aspect of their digital assets, UnoLock’s DSG model ensures privacy, compliance with global regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, and protection against unauthorized access. This aligns with the growing demand for digital sovereignty, where individuals and organizations retain full ownership of their data, as emphasized in discussions about UnoLock’s privacy-focused approach.

Integration with Other Features

  • End-to-End Encryption (E2EE): DSG leverages UnoLock’s E2EE to ensure that all data remains encrypted and inaccessible to third parties, including UnoLock, throughout its lifecycle.
  • Granular Access Control: DSG’s user-centric model integrates with UnoLock’s access control features, allowing users to set precise permissions for data access and sharing.
  • Legacy Planning: DSG supports UnoLock’s LegacyLink feature, enabling users to plan for the secure transfer or deletion of their data after incapacity or death.
