Consumers and service providers will derive various benefits from the platform. For instance, consumers will have financial savings based on the sharing commission and origination fees. On the other hand, service providers will have improved consumer data quality and much more.
YourBlock-Pre ICO
The YourBlock personal digital filing cabinet will give the consumer much needed peace of mind and assurance by putting personal data back into the control of the individual. With the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) coming into force in May 2018, the YourBlock platform will provide a solution to allow for compliance to Service Providers, the significance of this change should not be underestimated. While consumers will input and manage their own data, Service Providers will upload details of plans and offers, with YourBlock operating as a two-sided piece of technology, connecting both parties through transparency and trust, using Blockchain technology.
With Service Providers inputting information, consumers will be able to directly renew, modify or cancel plans and receive tailored quotes specific to their needs, cutting out the middle man (price comparison websites). By participating within the platform, there will be a fundamental change in relationship with the consumer, empowering them to shop for insurance and utilities by being in control of their data and rewarded for doing so. This new ‘privacy bank’ will also close the gap on the collection of personally identifiable information (PII), which has been a serious issue with information phished on the internet, leading at times to identity theft. Zero personal data will be sold to third parties, minimizing unwanted third party marketing calls, e-mails and SMS.
YourBlock’s ICO comes at an important time. The public are becoming increasingly concerned about the privacy of their personal data, while Service Providers need a new option for looking after this information correctly. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into force next year, meaning Service Providers face potentially costly data overhauls, or the risk of huge fines. YourBlock provides a compliant solution for these Service Providers, and for individuals worried about the security of their data. YourBlock’s online digital filing cabinet returns control of personal data to the consumer.
Now let’s talk about both side of YourBlock, YourBlock has two sides. On one side, consumers can input and manage their own data. On the other, Service Providers can upload details of plans and offers. The blockchain allows both parties to connect with transparency and trust. Consumers can shop for insurance and utilities while keeping control of their data, and will be rewarded for doing so. It will cut out middlemen like price comparison sites, and cut down on nuisance calls, hacks and phishing. YourBlock will create a fundamental change in the relationship between consumers and Service Providers. BlockEx will be managing the whole token sale process for YourBlock. Those who are interested can sign up to BlockEx Markets, and participate using BTC, ETH or Fiat. Participants in the YourBlock token sale will be able to use YourBlock tokens (YBK) to purchase insurance and utility products, and for discounts on the services available.
