The Startup Coalition's latest polling shows what many of us already know: people are not reluctant to share data. In fact, three-quarters of UK adults say they share their data at least some of the time, and two-thirds want their data to move seamlessly across the services they use. Value, access, and confidence are the drivers – 45% share to get better deals, 37% because services require it, and 37% because they trust the organisation.
The same polling makes clear that trust is the sticking point. 62% feel they don't have enough control over how their data is used. 50% worry about data security. 45% have refused services because of uncomfortable data requirements. People will share, provided they are confident that the exchange is fair, transparent, and safe. Without safeguards, data sharing is perceived as something that benefits corporates more than consumers.
