Department The Smart Data Donation Service (SDDS) is a new large-scale piece of research infrastructure funded by Smart Data Research UK's Data Services Call. The SDDS combines extensive research facilitation with construction of technical infrastructure at scale at the University of York. The SDDS is about making people's data rights work for them. Corporations hold vast amounts of behavioural data about citizens, but this data is often inaccessible either to the individuals who generated it, or to independent researchers who need it to understand the impacts of online environments. However, under GDPR, individuals have the right to data portability: If they wish, they can obtain a copy of their personal data from a corporation - they could then share this data with the research community. This 'data donation' paradigm is at the heart of the SDDS. It will break deadlocks in understanding domains like gaming and social media by enabling individuals to exercise their right to data portability en-masse, crowdsourcing massive-scale data donations at a national scale.
