Background

In a world where digital identity theft and data breaches are on the rise, people are often forced to share sensitive personal information across multiple platforms without real control over how it’s stored or used.


Datakeeper, originally spun out from Rabobank, set out to solve this by creating a secure, privacy-first solution for managing and sharing personal data across industries.


The challenge: how do you design a digital vault that is not only secure but also simple, intuitive and widely adopted?

WORK

At its core, Datakeeper is a personal digital vault where users can securely store, manage and share identity documents, financial data and other sensitive information.


The platform integrates bank-grade security with a seamless user experience, ensuring privacy without compromising convenience.


Key features include:


  • Decentralized storage: users can securely store personal data, such as passports, financial records, and health documents, in a decentralized manner, ensuring that only they have access.​


  • Selective data sharing: the platform enables users to share only the necessary information with third parties, enhancing privacy and reducing the risk of data misuse.​


  • Integration with official sources: Datakeeper allows users to retrieve data directly from authoritative sources like government databases and financial institutions, ensuring accuracy and authenticity.​


Impact

  • Faster processes – reduces time required for identity verification and data-sharing, streamlining operations.


  • Cost savings – minimizes manual verification efforts and lowers fraud risks for businesses.


  • Stronger security – ensures encrypted, decentralized data storage, reducing exposure to breaches.


  • User control – empowers individuals to decide what data to share and with whom.


  • Widespread adoption – used by car rental companies, housing corporations, and mortgage providers to simplify customer onboarding.
