# Real data from real people. > Thousands of people in Germany connect their accounts to the Datapods app, manage their data there and earn money when they share it for research. No professional panelists. No self-reporting. Connected accounts. ## What we see: linked per person ### Purchases & receipts **7.4B+ Amazon events** Amazon orders, receipts and order confirmations from the inbox, Google Pay transactions. ### Grocery & drugstore **SKU level** Grocery purchases at item level, including the REWE product catalog. ### Search & browsing **Intent-classified** Google searches and website visits, classified by category, brand and purchase intent. ### Video & social **2.4B+ views** YouTube watch history, TikTok interactions, ads seen on Meta. ### Apps & subscriptions **App Store + Google Play** Installs, in-app purchases and subscription transactions: sign-ups and cancellations. ### Places **Dwell-weighted** Visited places and retailers from location data, from supermarket to mall. ### Demographics **Census-weighted** Age, household, income, education: self-reported, but sanity-checked against behavior. ## Consent isn't fine print. Every data source is connected individually, every share is a separate decision. Those who share get paid, and can leave at any time. ### Opt-in, source by source Nothing is on by default. Every connection is a conscious decision in the app. ### Paid through the data dividend Sharing data for research earns money: daily, transparent, withdrawable. ### Revocable at any time Sources can be disconnected with one tap. On deletion, the data actually disappears. ## Why the data delivers on its promise. ### Verified, not claimed Connected accounts instead of questionnaire answers: purchases, searches and media use come straight from the source. ### Representatively weighted Population weights based on the German census make results projectable. ### GDPR-native Processing in the EU, pseudonymization throughout, no training of open models. DPA on request. The panel grows because the app gives its users real value: data control, transparency, fair pay. --- Source: https://www.datapods.app/en/panel
