Personal data & privacy management — open source
🌐 Website · 📖 Developer docs & API reference · 🇨🇭 Made in Switzerland
Pryv.io is a data privacy management solution designed to collect, store and share personal data in compliance with privacy regulations (GDPR, HIPAA, LPD). It provides a RESTful API for managing user data organized into streams (hierarchical categories) and events (timestamped data points), with fine-grained access controls and real-time notifications.
It serves as the backend for applications in health, quantified self, smart cities, and any domain requiring data sovereignty and consent management. Each user's data is isolated and access-controlled independently.
- Privacy by design — consent, access scoping, and audit are first-class.
- Self-hostable & open — run your own core; no vendor lock-in.
- Standards-friendly — JSON over HTTPS, OAuth2-style authorization, typed events.
- A Digital Public Good.
