Me
My name is Bence Meszaros, I am father and tech enthusiest, living in Princeton, NJ, USA.
As preparing for parenthood I have researched the baby tracker market and I have found the same disappointing trend like in most other digital aspects of our life.
Solutions out there are hard to trust with delicate personal data; you hardly own your and your child's data, providers try to monetize your information and/or manipulate you with it.
I would like to have a platform which I can trust, which is transparent , designed and maintained by fully respecting children's data without compromises.
This is why I decided to create my own platform, BabyData.
Please feel free to contact me at 'meszarosb' at gmail.com.
Manifesto
- You are the owner of your own data and you decide how to use it
- Services collecting your data have to be fully transparent about how they store and use your data.
