The internet the most revolutionary invention of the 20th century has forever changed our way of living and outlook on life. Communication has been completely revamped by the internet and most means of contact have been reshaped by it, or have been replaced by it altogether.

Global internet usage is on the rise, in 2015 alone the number of internet users being over 3.2 billion, continuously growing each year until their number spiked up to 4.021 billion in 2018 – representing almost 53% of the world’s population.

It is no longer debatable whether or not the internet has become indispensable to our daily lives. We use it for a wide array of activities, from spending our spare time to employing it for developing new technologies which further facilitate jobs, house chores, remote payments etc.

However, we can debate how personal data created by our daily internet behaviors and routines are being used by brokers and big companies. Sadly, we are still kept in the dark regarding the whereabouts of our data once it is confiscated by brokers and we have to ascertain the extent of infringement inflicted upon us by sheer conjecture.

This is where the German-based company Opiria wants to step in on our behalf – they plan to deliver consumers worldwide the freedom of choice they are accustomed to, due to the internet. Additionally, they wish to ensure that the highest level of security is provided to their users and that they are in full control of their personal data.

Opiria’s platform will purify the internet of data piracy and will restore data control where it belongs, in each and every user’s hands. Their unique idea is inspired from the billions of dollars lost each year on product development. The truth is, companies do not fully understand client needs, so they create unwanted products that fail to meet consumer requirements and end up collapsing.

Opiria seeks to become a mediator between consumers and companies by discontinuing user rights neglection caused by brokers and by dispelling the prejudice that clouds some consumers reason who blame companies for intimacy violation. Their platform secures a stable connection between the two parties, without compromising quality for any side.

Consumers receive protection for their personal information and the opportunity to choose who to sell their data to for PDATA tokens, that can be exchanged into fiat money afterwards. Companies benefit from more accurate data as a result of the protection and compensation consumers earn.

So far their plan is unfolding quite well, with household names being part of their clientele. Many Fortune 500 car brands use the Opiria platform and are most pleased with their results. Among them, we enumerate Mercedes, BMW, Nissan, General Motors, Audi, etc.

Recently, Opiria has finally started their TGE, which is currently live, having raised over 12 million USD already. This impressive sum is not surprising, considering their popularity is on the rise. They have gained traction in South Korea, were mentioned on Reddit on multiple occasions, and quite a few articles about them have been published on sites such as Newsbrite and Blockmedia.

Furthermore, they were listed on ICOalert, as well a comprehensive review was done on them on coinradar. One of the more impressive achievements that occurred recently for Opiria is that they managed to reach the ICO World Cup Finals with other top-tier names such as Blockshipping, Multiversum, and FTEC. According to ICO Review News, “PDATA claimed an easy victory in the second quarter-final” and rose up to the semi-finals on their journey to claim the first place.

Opiria stands out from the crowd, due to its innovative solution aimed towards an ever-increasing problem. With each passing day, more and more people are becoming aware of the ongoing personal data piracy and will side with them in order to protect their valuable information, and with each passing day, their success will go higher.
