Data, on Your Terms

Useful collaboration begins with a clear boundary around personal information. Wanted Family's Data Gate explores how people can decide which information a workflow needs and what an agent is allowed to do with it.

The aim is to support task-specific access with visible permissions. A participant should be able to distinguish proof from disclosure, understand where information is going, and choose what to share. The design centers on control, clarity, and practical limits.

Directions We Are Exploring

Human verification — Distinguish people and automated participants.

Reusable credentials — Present relevant evidence for a specific task.

Scoped agent access — Limit information to an approved workflow.

Shared permissions — Make access boundaries clear across services.

Participant control — Keep choices about data with the contributor.

Trusted inputs — Understand the origin of information used by agents.
