# Personal Data: Thinking Inside the Box

*2015-10-01 — note*


Paper on personal databoxes at the one-in-a-decade Aarhus conference on participatory design. This work with Hamed Haddadi, Heidi Howard, Richard Mortier and colleagues proposed that individuals should have direct control over their personal data through a personal networked service - the Databox. The paper argued for a fundamental shift away from centralized data silos toward personal data management infrastructure, presaging many of the concerns that would drive GDPR and the broader privacy movement.
