## What is polyPod?

Admittedly, this whole data thing is difficult – and terribly confusing. There is so much data out there: data we know about; data we don't know about; data we created ourselves (consciously or unconsciously); data that others created about us; data that seems to be irrelevant; data that is clearly sensitive... and so on. But just because it is difficult, does not mean we should not worry, understand, or care about that data. And we will help you with that!


Functions of the current version

In the current version of the polyPod, with the Facebook Data Importer, your Facebook data can be imported directly into the polyPod and analysed locally on your device. Afterwards, this information is presented in a clear and comprehensible way. Through detailed infographics and enriched with explanations, you learn what Facebook actually knows about you.

    With whom are these insights shared?
    For what purpose?
    Which advertising target group do you belong to?
    How does Facebook actually use selfies? 

It is not only about what information Facebook collects about us, but above all about what kind of person Facebook makes of us as a result – who are we for Facebook? Or rather: what are we? 


The polyPod ensures that private matters remain private

The data in your polyPod belongs to you; and only to you. Also, we from polypoly do not have access to your data at any time. You are asked when someone wants to know something about you. This sums up what the polyPod does for you. With the polyPod you always control who knows what about you, who is allowed to know what about you, and what no one should know about you, whether another person or a company.

Functions of future versions

Phase 2: Knowledge

    See precisely what data companies have about you. See it on your polyPod and start managing your data there.

Phase 3: Correct 

    Correct the data that companies have collected, step by step. Gradually delete the data that is incorrect, or that you do not wish to share.

Phase 4: Control

    Use more and more applications without giving up control over your data. Determine who can access your data at any time.

Phase 5: Rent out

    Start making money with your data if you choose. Make your data available for analyses to whoever you want, for as long as you want.


Control your data and more – after all, the polyPod is meant to be fun

With the support of the members of the cooperative, we continue to expand the polyPod. Little by little, the polyPod offers you more and more possibilities to protect your privacy. In the future, additional features can be loaded via the polyPod. These can also be features that you are used to, such as a chat or messenger service, games, a running app or a new social network.

### 2/5 — Perfect idea, flow and tutorial step by step

*2022-10-31, version 1.7.2*

Unfortunately, that’s what it is… to see your actual data would be awesome. The app provides you the option to import your files and then after, nothing. The next step should be “explore” though, it keeps taking me back to the “how to download Facebook data”  I was on the Facebook tab as its the only one that has 2005-2022 of information broken into 4 files, 27 mb idk why…. 1.67, 2.xx and 1.32 ish. The app doesn’t allow more than I think 2 GB per file upload? That’s fair, but the others… I don’t understand even importing them, I get a black screen saying importing then it doesn’t import. Maybe it’s user error 

I’ll update my review as I believe in what this app is meant and designed for.  No data collected and provides ideally a clear opportunity to review and understand what information is out there and to whom it belongs to, being sold by, and how to reclaim it and hopefully, resell it back or not (up to you!).
