To be eligible for the gift cards you must use this link) so we know you came from this post, and sign up with your email address (as opposed to using Google or Facebook) so we can send you the Amazon Gift card.

We’re promoting our contest to beermoney because we’re excited to show off what Datawallet can do and our new contest.

*We will do our best to keep the post updated with how many signups and verified signups we have gotten through this promotion.*

The Contest Prize

Potentially win a share of growing cash pool. Cash pool and number of winners grows in tiers with the number of verified contestants, with the cash pool capped at $100,000 when we hit 100,000 verified contestants. Winners are those who get the most points (see The Ask). To see the chart of user/winner/cash-pool growth, as well as the full rules, please go to https://www.datawallet.com/rules.

Also, by joining the contest you’ll early access to our new app once it’s out, where you can get more money (see below).

The Context

Datawallet, as a company, is trying to help you own and control your data that’s currently controlled and monetized by companies like Facebook and Google. We’ve been mentioned here a few times over the years, although justifiably nothing too exciting as we’re really just hitting our stride now. There’s a lot of cool things one can do when all of their data is together in one place they control, but likely most interesting to y’all is the fact we’re going to help you sell your data on your terms for real monies. We do-not/will-never sell your data without your explicit permission. “Explicit permission” does not just mean you clicked “yes I agree" next to a link to our privacy policy, it means you opt-in to each offer or set your permissions to auto-enroll you to certain offers. You can find our privacy policy at https://www.datawallet.com/privacy.

The Ask

The contest is about user acquisition and showing off our new Chrome plugin, which makes taking your data off of platforms like Facebook and Amazon a breeze.

The ask is for you to sign up here and add your Amazon data (for verification purposes), and then do anything you’d like to get more points—namely, which I’m sure is a huge surprise to y’all—refer others to the contest using your unique referral link.

What Datawallet does with the data

In the short-term we’re going to use your data to make a few anonymized/pseudonymized demos that showcase the value of your data to potential buyers, as well as demos that showcase the value of your data to you, like personal analyses.

In the long-term, Datawallet will not hold your data, as you’ll be able to store it locally and permission/share it with whoever you’d like on your mutually agreed upon terms.

We do-not/will-never sell your data without your explicit permission. Again, “explicit permission” does not just mean you clicked “yes I agree” next to a link to our privacy policy, it means you opt-in to each offer or set your permissions to auto-enroll you to certain offers. You can find our privacy policy at https://www.datawallet.com/privacy.

Tech Requirements

Chrome browser on a laptop/desktop (to set up account and add data with Chrome plugin).

Eligibility Requirements

Open to those in the U.S. who have reached the “age of majority in their state” (normally 18).

Contest ends April 16th, 2019, so signup and earn your points before that.

TL;DR—Go here, signup with your email, get verified, and get a $2 giftcard (first 500 signups). Additionally, you can add data to your Datawallet, invite friends, and potentially win some money in the short-term—and in the long-term own and monetize your data (and do other cool stuff with it too).

Note: The links to the signup page are UTMs, which allows us track what channels our contestant are coming from so we can understand our marketing efforts/rewards and enables gift card giveaways, but gives us no additional info about you. If you’d rather use a straight up link and not try for the $2 gift card, here ya go—https://win.datawallet.com.
