• Would You Invest Your Data—On Your Terms—For Fair Compensation?

    We’re building a new kind of data platform where your data works for you—and your community. Tell us what matters most.
  • Welcome and thank you for participating in our survey.

    We’re exploring a new platform that empowers individuals and organizations to take control of their digital data—deciding when, how, and with whom it is shared, and ensuring that data is used ethically, transparently, and in ways that can generate meaningful value for you.

    Our mission is to build a trusted ecosystem that transforms how data is exchanged, putting ownership and agency back into the hands of data contributors. We envision a system where people and communities—not just tech companies—benefit from the value their data creates, while helping enterprises and researchers access ethically sourced, high-quality data.

    This short survey will help us better understand your values, expectations, and potential interest in a secure, transparent, and community-driven approach to data sharing.

    Your input will directly shape how we design this platform. We appreciate your perspective. For your time, you may be eligible to win a $25 gift card. To enter the raffle, make sure to enter your email at the end of the survey.

    Please note: The survey is for research purposes only. All responses are confidential, and participation is entirely voluntary. Be completing this survey you agree to have your responses used for consumer market research. For questions or concerns please contact info@jalia.tech .

  • Section 2: Interest in a Managed Data Investment Approach

    A managed data trust is a service that allows individuals and organizations to store, protect, and ethically share their data. The trust acts on your behalf—handling the secure licensing of your data to companies or researchers while ensuring transparency, consent, and potential compensation for its use. This model is similar to how financial institutions manage investments, but instead of money, it manages your digital data as a valuable asset.
