AMARK adopted blockchain and cryptocurrency as tools to eliminate ANY need for the collection of personally identifiable information. AMARK uses public blockchain data, overlaid with merchant data, to identify consumer preferences, understand local trends and set a value for consumer attention.

Cryptocurrency is also the ONLY viable way to privately compensate a consumer for their attention as other digital payment methods expose the identity of the payee. If an individual consumer receiving an attention payment was identifiable via the payment method, then all response and preference data could be easily tied back to that individual, thereby compromising the individual’s data privacy.
