Pod

A Pod is essentially a container where you can store all of your personal data—photos, documents, preferences, health information, and much more. It's a personal data vault that only you control. The idea behind is to give individuals control over their own personal data in a way that is more private, secure, and interoperable compared to the current centralized systems we commonly use (like social media platforms or cloud storage). With a Pod, you have the ability to control who can access and use your data and under what conditions. The data can be encrypted, ensuring that only those with the correct permissions can access it. This decentralization contrasts with traditional services (like Facebook or Google), where the company holds and controls your data.
