1 You own your own identity. You’re in charge of how
you identify yourself to others.
3 You own your own data. You have the password and
we don’t.

You have the right to remain anonymous.
Anonymous is the default mode. However, many
services will require your identity to be compliant with
government regulations.
Your data is always encrypted. Only the password can
make sense of it.
You store your own data, we don’t. That means you
pay to store and backup your own data, as opposed
to a large multinational company storing your data for
“free.”
You give access to your data on a “least privilege”
basis. That means you give only the minimum amount
of information required to accomplish your tasks.
You can revoke access and data in circumstances
where the other party allows this - must be specified
up front.
If you want to transact on our platform, you will need to
be identified with a KYC (Know Your Customer) check,
which involves showing a company your passport and
proof of address. You will own this data and maintain it.
It will be part of your personal data locker and you’ll be
able to use it over and over again. This helps you stay
compliant with various legal requirements.
There are no accounts. You have your account in the
Pillar app, and all the services in the app use this data
rather than copy it. You can reuse your personal data
over and over.
If you change your personal data, it will automatically
update throughout the system.
We replace apps with services. Apps are old-
fashioned capsules that trap your data. Services on
the Pillar platform will interact and work in context,
appearing and helping you solve problems as you
need them.
We strive to create and adopt open-source data
standards for worldwide interoperability. These data
standards will bridge many systems. They will change
the way people communicate and will provide more
liquidity to markets.
No hidden charges. We don’t want to be charged
silently for products, services, and subscriptions.
We want to be able to approve or deny charges as
they occur.
