The market is ready for Information Cards.  As the Internet has become the foundation for our digital lives, it is necessary to create a way to present yourself in a way that is as safe or safer than the way you do in the physical world. Digital information is extremely fluid. Personal information taken out of context can be extremely dangerous. 

 

On the Internet, no one knows you're a dog, and that's the problem. You have to try to prove you are you by broadcasting more and more personal data. And sites demand more to protect themselves.  

 

But, if you can wield claims others make about you, and provide these claims in a way that is trusted by those with whom you do business or conduct social activities, you would not have to reveal so much data, and companies could avoid the liability associated with storing it.

 

Information Cards provide a way to minimize distributing your personal data while lowering business liability. 

 

The articles on this page describe some of the issues, and highlight the people and companies of  the Information Card Foundation who are working on solving this problem.
