Report. An EU opinion explores the concept of technologies and ecosystems aiming at empowering individuals to control the sharing of their personal data. The so-called personal data stores entail huge perspectives in supporting data protection principles, but they also face huge challenges such as penetrating a market of ‘free’ services and keeping data secure.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This opinion has decided to call the new trend \u2018personal information management systems\u2019 or \u2018 PIMS\u2019 for short – others call it Personal Data Stores, PDS, MyData, Selfdata or Vendor Relationshop Management.
\nThe opinion describes what PIMS are, what problems they are intended to solve and how. It analyses how PIMS can contribute to a better protection of personal data and what challenges they face. Finally, it identifies ways forward to build upon the opportunities they offer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The core idea behind the PIMS concept is to transform the current provider centric system into a system centred on individuals able to manage and control their online identity. In principle, individuals should be able to decide whether and with whom to share their personal information, for what purposes, for how long, and to keep track of them and decideto take them back when so wished.<\/div>\n
There are many different PIMS, some storing data in the cloud, others locally, some commercial, others non-profit. And despite the fact that they deliver great promises, there are several hurdles according to the opinion:<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
