Your data belongs to you, so why don't you get a say in what happens to it?

Meet River.

River is a paradigm-shifting platform that returns the revenue generated from selling your data, back to you. Legally you own your data, but in the current environment you receive nothing when it is bought and sold with or without your permission. River allows you to take back control.

River empowers people like Tom to take control of their data, and profit from the tens of thousands of ads he sees every year. Algorithms see a 29-year-old, single white traveller interested in budget flights, hiking gear, and Southeast Asian hostels. His clicks map friendships, street-food vlogs, and global curiosity, data which is currently bought & sold without his consent. River returns both value and control to Tom.

PERCENTAGE OF SARAH'S DATA PROTECTED
100%
Sarah’s life extends far beyond the digital trail she creates each day. Algorithms identify her as high-income, working from home, clicking frequently on luxury decor, productivity apps, and mindfulness podcasts. Her data describes a routine of Zoom calls, virtual yoga classes, and gourmet grocery orders, but Sarah chooses to use River to keep all this data private, and out of the hands of Silicon Valley & data brokers.

Felix’s identity can't be fully captured by his endless stream of digital signals. Algorithms know him as a gear obsessed trail-runner who spends most of his time outdoors with his partner. His data reflects a life researching undiscovered trails, unboxing smart gadgets, and following Arc-teryx religiously. This data is incredibly valuable, and Felix uses River to get paid his fair share.

What people are saying

The opportunity to make money from doing something I do all the time and the fact I can control the data I share.
Sebastian B.
I felt the remuneration was generous. I only shared a small amount of data and would have been happy to have been paid less. I think it’s really cool that you benefit from sharing your data.
Leigh B.
I’m gonna get paid for my normal activities. Other platforms don’t let me get my piece of the pie, and I want a taste.
Anthony M.
It actually greatly exceeded my expectations. I’ve got no problem with them jumping on my wave with good offers.
Brian D.
I like that I have some control over data. That’s a sort of novel idea.

Why build River?

Every search, purchase, message, swipe, like, comment and call creates data about you. That data is worth real money, yet you never see a penny.

For too long, tech giants have profited massively by forcing users to relinquish control and equity of their data to use their platforms. Think about it – we're at a crossroads where we can either control our own digital destinies or have them controlled by others.

I created RIVER to challenge this status quo and put you, the consumer, at the center of one of the largest economic marketplaces ever created. We truly believe that it is not only possible for people to own and control their own data, but necessary for our collective future.

RIVER is an AI-powered evolution of the way personal data is bought and sold online. Our platform empowers you to search, shop, share, and connect – all while getting paid cash for your data. You decide what to sell and what to keep private, finally taking back control of your digital identity.

We built RIVER to provide a stunning experience for consumers, superior outcomes for our enterprise partners, and fair remuneration for the data provided to make it all happen. This platform is designed to help technology and all of humanity live happily ever after, not just a group of 100 Silicon Valley executives.

RIVER has officially launched Genesis v.1 and is expanding with the upcoming release of JumpIn v.1 in June, 2025. As we gear up for our next round of investment to fuel our full-scale launch by the end of 2025, we invite you to join us in redefining personal data ownership.

Welcome to RIVER – Take back your digital identity.

It's Your Data, Your Life.
