Common Data is an independent public education project about digital trust.
It exists to explain how everyday digital systems — records, documents, permissions, and proofs — could work if they were designed around people rather than databases.
- preserving history instead of overwriting it
- proving facts without unnecessary data exposure
- reducing long-term risk through better defaults
- making digital systems easier to understand and trust
Common Data does not promote products, platforms, or services.
It is not affiliated with vendors, advertisers, or data brokers.
The aim is simple: to help establish a shared, reasonable understanding of how digital systems can work — and why that matters.
