About the technology

For years, companies have had free rein to use every click, purchase, and "like" you make, to earn money. Now, across the globe, new laws have been written, passed, and are coming into force, giving individuals the right to access, delete, and monetise their own data. This book provides a vision of how you can use these laws, regulations, and services to directly benefit from your data in new and lucrative ways.
