Decentralizing Data Control for a Smarter, Safer future
Secure, consent-based access to high-quality data is essential for the sustainable growth of the digital economy. Yet,
many existing solutions are designed to circumvent data owners' consent, undermining trust and legal compliance.
Ecosteer aligns with the core principles of the EU Data Act, which mandates fair, transparent, and user-centric access
to data. Our technology transforms consent management from a regulatory hurdle into a strategic enabler of data sharing
and innovation.
By giving data owners full control over who can access their data and how it’s used, Ecosteer decentralizes consent
management, significantly reducing legal risk and operational costs. This scalable, trustless architecture eliminates
the need for intermediaries and fosters secure, permissioned data exchanges.
Stakeholders Benefits
Intermediaries & Exchanges
By decentralizing control over data visibility, Ecosteer eliminates the costly and risky burden of managing consent. Data owners directly control who can access their information, reducing the need for complex and expensive consent processes for DGA Intermediaries and Data Exchanges.
Data Recipients
Access to high-quality, identifiable, and authorized real time data. Unlike anonymized data, this information is linked to specific individuals and companies, making it significantly more valuable for delivering personalized services. Consent is securely certified through smart contracts.
Data Owners
Ecosteer empowers users of connected devices – individuals or companies - to regain control over their data. Our solutions enable users/data owners to manage who can access their information, ensuring full transparency, privacy, and security — without compromising usability or trust.

The QWERTY of Privacy: Why It’s Time to Ditch Default Opt-In
We’ve all seen it: “Click here to agree. Or don’t, but we’ll assume you did anyway.” Meta’s recent move to force users into opting out if they don’t want their data turned into AI gold is just the latest episode in a much longer saga. But it raises a good question: why is opt-in still the default setting in our digital lives?
