Data — 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created each day. From your phone, computer, smartwatch — everything is being saved. But do you know what exactly is everything?

🙏 Thanks to GDPR today you have a Data Access right — it allows you to legally claim ownership of your data so you can see what companies are actually collecting and processing.

🙄 The only problem is that it’s really hard to do sometimes — many steps, not obvious actions, etc. But there is a solution!

🚀 Our team worked a lot and today we are ready to present the Data Access Assistant! It’s a simple chrome extension that allows you to exercise your Data Rights in a seamless and secure way in just a few clicks.

👩‍💻 How does it work? It automates complex procedures of creating and conveying your Data request by sending you to correct pages and clicking the right buttons. It even fills up emails with official and correct legal text to exercise your Data Rights. The extension works only on your laptop, and it doesn’t collect any of your private data — we wanted to make it as secure as possible.

💌 Currently, the tool works only with combination Chrome + Gmail (if you want to use it with products of your choice — let us know:). The list of available services to request the data from Google, Splitwise, Freeletics, Headspace, and Revolut
