Problem
Individuals currently have little to no control over their personal data, which is collected and sold by tech companies without their explicit consent or compensation. This lack of transparency and control deprives individuals of the economic benefits derived from their own data.
Solution
River is a data marketplace platform that empowers individuals to manage, control, and monetize their personal data. The platform provides users with real-time updates on when their data is bought and sold, along with full visibility into what data River has collected. Users can choose what data to share and what to keep private, regaining control over their digital identities. River integrates with Rivera, a privacy-first LLM, to personalize user experiences and ensure fair market pricing for data. The platform also facilitates smart enterprise matching, connecting users with businesses that provide the most value.
