Privacy on the Blockchain

Privacy, Anonymization and Data Protection on the Blockchain

Two common privacy issues deal with 1) Data Ownership, which ensures that users own and control their personal data. As such, the system recognizes the users as the owners of the data and the services as guests with delegated permissions, and 2) Data Transparency and Auditability, where each user has complete transparency over what data is being collected about them and how they are accessed. - Zyskind, Nathan, Pentland
