Personalised public services. Without tracking or profiling.

Public organisations exist to serve people, not to follow them. Yet many digital public service providers struggle with a fundamental tension: how do you offer relevant, personalised services while complying with privacy law and public values?

SNDK offers a way out. Through the Upod software, citizens can store their own data in a personal data store and decide which organisations may access it, temporarily and with explicit consent. Control stays with the citizen. Better services, without compromising privacy.

Personalisation without surveillance.

Citizens who refuse tracking or do not want to create a new account have just as much right to relevant, accessible public services. With a data store, public organisations can offer personalised experiences to everyone, without cookies, without behavioural profiling, without commercial data exploitation.

This guarantees inclusion, accessibility, and equal treatment: core principles of the public sector.

How it works

Citizens share data from their own store, only what is relevant, only for as long as necessary, only with whom they choose. Public organisations gain access to relevant context: for example preferences, language settings, or previously stated interests. That access is always explicit, verifiable, and time-limited.

All personal data remains under the stewardship of SNDK. Data is never commercially owned, never sold, and never reused beyond the consent granted. The citizen is always the gatekeeper of their own information.

What public organisations gain.

1. Better service quality

Deliver more relevant information and services, without excluding or profiling citizens.

2. Increased trust

Clear consent, no hidden data flows, and full accountability.

3. Reduced compliance risk

Privacy-by-design, GDPR-compliant by default, and aligned with public procurement and governance standards.

4. Future-proof digital infrastructure

A stable foundation that supports digital innovation without dependency on Big Tech platforms.

For whom

The Foundation provides Upod infrastructure to organisations that are predominantly publicly funded, including:

  • public broadcasters
  • national and local governments
  • housing corporations
  • universities and research institutions
  • healthcare institutions
  • labour market institutions
  • public organisations in general
