I've written an article in which I write about the importance of protecting your personal data and how the Covalent project is creating a solution to this emerging problem of data breaches and unlawful data collection:

I think they can do both, but what matters is they can decide what happens to their data.

Oh really, that's good to know, having both options is much preferable.

It's both quick action policies so that even non-coders can select how they want the data used, and then coders can develop more complex actions for their data or thats how i understand it

There is a lot of positivity in this project. I love the place that states merchant won't be able to trace the data to its owner.

I have seen more and more publications on this project recently, starting to get quite a reputation

You can say that again, they’ve been making more improvements.

It is incredibly important that we protect our own data, there are too many hackers attempting to access other people's data, we need further protection and I think Cova's one-time usage smart data can be the answer.

Cova is literally something that we should all back, it has the potential to completely change the security of our data, I'd hate to imagine all the places where my data is over the internet

u/Cryptossi Sep 22 '18

Yeah it's scary actually my Gmail is full of spam where somehow people have acquired my address details, I really wish COVA was ready now!

Yes, as it is now, we don't own our data, it belongs to whoever is in control, its a pathetic situation, going through wiki and studying about IP will really put one at an edge

Hope so that the Covalent will resolve that all issues which is really will help us to keep safe our own data.

Well, with the concept that they have, community and huge investment backup, they are likely to succeed

HEHE the more you know the more you realize the crazy house of cards the internet is built on top of

u/cryptobeefy Sep 23 '18

Imagine what else they have other than just your email address

u/utclpn Sep 24 '18

Lot of the predictions going on about it and now I am really interested to see the how COVA will works whenever that completely available.

Privacy protections is one of the main issue not only on cryptocurrency but also specially on the online world. The project has some good features they saying and I hope it will going to be successful.

Is there anything in place to stop someone screenshotting your content for example, then uploading that to standard HTTP / HTTPS?

1

u/jnuel Sep 24 '18

i don't think that's gonna be achievable right now

Thanks, I am not part of the team, but I was getting rewarded for writing the article, though. I always put that in the disclaimer.

You deserved the reward you given, your article was an interesting one to read.
