"A Method Has Been Developed to Protect and Manage Personal Data on the Internet"
A research team at the University of Rovira i Virgili (URV) has developed an innovative environment based on blockchain technology that enables users to keep track of who has their information and what it is used for by means of a smart contract. The study involved developing a blockchain technology-based personal data management platform. It generates smart contracts that are permanently published on the blockchain and cannot be interfered with. The terms agreed upon cannot be changed, and the contract's binding nature cannot be denied. To use this smart contract, the user must install a program in the browser that intercepts the consent request and responds based on their preferences. This process improves browsing agility and security while also meeting the main requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The research improves the security of personal data management and gives users greater control over their information. This article continues to discuss the method developed to protect and manage personal data on the Internet.
