Many people look at TARTLE and expect it to be a complicated concept.
But really, it’s a lot like selling a cup of coffee in a cafe.
If someone enters the store and wants to buy your coffee, you have the freedom to decide whether or not you want to give them that. As a business owner, you’ll want to maximize your profits whenever and wherever you can. But you also need to be firm about store policy and refuse to serve customers who are not following the rules, like if they enter without wearing a mask.
This basic exchange of goods and services has been around forever. And the concept is easy to understand because it’s tangible. Now, how is TARTLE applying this to data?
The internet is everywhere, even when we’re offline. Everything that we do today is being watched, recorded, tracked, and stored somewhere. You are being profiled and monitored for future reference. That’s how the world works right now—but we’re here to say that it doesn’t need to continue like this.
All the information that’s on you is, obviously, yours. You rightfully own your personal information. They’re all the cups of coffee you never got to sell, because someone decided to go ahead and sell them for you.
Your phone, desktop, laptop, Fitbit, Smart TV, iPad, smart refrigerator, car, and basically anything that’s even remotely related to modern technology—all these gadgets are filling out data packets that you deserve to earn from.
So where does TARTLE come in?
TARTLE lets you consolidate all your personal information so that you can directly sell it to buyers around the world. Think of us as your coffee shop. We are the place that allows you to set up your equipment, brew your cups of coffee, and sell them to the customers that come in. Except we don’t demand that you pay rent, or give us a cut of your profits. You are free to set up shop and sell your data on our platform, always.
We’ve let big tech make money off of us for far too long. As we continue to innovate new technologies, it’s becoming more crucial for us to create ethical sources of data.
We want to help forge secure, direct, and authentic connections between buyers and sellers. Helping humanity evolve with technologies that are considerate of our growth on this earth. That’s what TARTLE is about.
What’s your cup of coffee worth?
