Datakluis/jouw.id: How we build datakluis on such a tight schedule, Ben Peachey
After two years of development, the personal data vault will be available by the end of the year as a neutral facility accessible and usable by everyone. Media companies can start using the data vault, as can businesses and organizations from a wide range of sectors. The Dutch Data Vault Foundation, as an independent, neutral party, will ensure that your interests as an individual and your control over your own data are prioritized. The development was made possible in part by European funding from the Kansen voor West program and collaboration with the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision, the MediaPerspectives Foundation, ROM Utrecht, the Flemish Data Utility Athumi, SolidLab Flanders, and various technical partners.

At Solid World, we will demonstrate PASS, an open-source digital wallet built on Solid Pods that empowers people experiencing homelessness to securely store and share vital records. PASS is designed to integrate directly into existing service workflows, such as Clarity HMIS, streamlining case management while giving clients control over their data. Our demonstration will show how individuals manage documents in PASS and selectively grant access through APIs, reducing administrative overhead and improving trust. This approach highlights PASS as a practical example of Solid’s potential to deliver real-world, human-centred digital public infrastructure.
