“The personal data operator plays the role of an intermediary between data sources and data using services within a trust framework or ecosystem with fiduciary responsibility for the individual. It should create trust and open up a user driven market where individuals are both protected and empowered to use the data that organisations hold about them.
In this discussion paper we want to coin a number of important design issues for operators. What are typical functions it should fulfil? What responsibilities should it have? What are valid business models for operators, for example, may it profit from data? And what do the MyData principles imply for an operator?
