1Who are 'MyTerms' for?
A. MyTerms should work well for all individuals, and for organisations that are NOT dependent or insistent on surveillance and third party tracking across the Internet and Web.
2What benefits are envisaged?
Many benefits emerge when online relationships between individuals and organisations are grounded with contracts that are transparent, creating more equitable relationships.
3Any risks/ downsides?
A. The agreements themselves, when accepted and in place have very few if any downsides. The only negative in the early days is that not all organisations will adopt them.
4How many agreements are there; of what types?
There will be 5 agreements when we launch MyTerms, and 8 more in the pipeline.
They are of two types:
Personal Data Contribution (PDC) agreements are for when a person is providing data on a one off basis. Service Delivery (SD) agreements assume an ongoing digital relationship.
5What is The MyTerms Alliance?
A. It is a group of organisations with various skill-sets and communities that all believe in and benefit from MyTerms being successful. As such the alliance is a pooling of strengths and network to help make MyTerms happen at scale.
6How can I get involved?
MyTerms is a very aspirational project and target; so we are always on the look-out for people with relevant skill-sets and an interest in our subject area? If that is you; drop a note explaining your interest to Contact@myterms.info.
