The basis of trust
Clear permissions define who may act, on which data and for what purpose. Agreements set terms both parties understand. And the audit trail records what happened, so it can be compared with what was authorised.
MyTerms

Records & audit trail
Like a bank statement for your data relationships: who the parties were, what they agreed and what actions were recorded.
AI Agents
Agents act within a defined purpose, data scope and chain of authority. When DataPal’s personal agents act for you, they have contractual duties of care and loyalty.

FAQs
DataPal FAQs
-
DataPal provides trust infrastructure for AI, Smart Data and digital services. We help individuals, organisations and intelligent services share and use data through clear permissions, transparent agreements and verifiable records.
Put simply, DataPal helps create trusted data relationships for the age of AI.
-
Not necessarily. Master records stay with the organisations that maintain them, such as banks, health providers and the DVLA. Where supported, you can access information at source without creating another copy. Where information needs to be transferred or stored elsewhere, the exchange has a defined purpose and agreed terms, and DataPal can also hold information where useful and appropriate.
-
Data is increasingly moving between people, organisations, platforms and AI agents. However, it is often unclear what has been agreed, what information can be used and who is accountable.
DataPal makes these relationships clearer and more trustworthy by providing permissions, proof and accountability that can travel with the data.
-
Traditional consent platforms mainly record choices made on individual websites or apps. DataPal goes further by enabling people to express portable, machine-readable terms that can be recognised across participating services.
DataPal is not only about collecting consent. It is about establishing an ongoing, trusted relationship between the parties involved.
-
A trusted data relationship is one in which everyone can understand:
Who is involved
What has been agreed
What data can be used
What it can be used for
How long the agreement lasts
What actions have taken place
Who is accountable
DataPal helps make these elements clear, verifiable and manageable.
-
When DataPal’s personal agents act for you, they do so on a fiduciary basis: the service provider has contractual duties of care and loyalty to you within the agreed remit. The agent follows your instructions and acts only within the authority you grant.
Our vision
