DATAREV CONCEPT


8 . DataRev Thesis Book

YOUR DIGITAL DATA DOES NOT BELONG TO YOU JUST BECAUSE IT IS ABOUT YOU.


Concept . The Problem . 9

THE PROBLEM Today, our phones and our computers are becoming an extension of us. Every minute, we share millions of data through different social media, apps, search engines… that third parties have access to but we do not. The tools we use, turn the Internet into a real time surveillance that controls our data. We are thus living in a condition of ubiquitous surveillance. Our online activities are owned by governments and corporations. Our life is being displayed with full transparency to them but they are not offering the same transparency and clarity in return. Our data becomes the new currency that allows companies to cash in. Selling of user’s online data to third parties becomes today's norm. Consumers realize that they are a new corporate revenue stream that they aren't participating in. Our “digital self” is locked in several places with different third parties.

THINK OF IT THIS WAY: YOU HAVE LENT THE COMPANY YOUR DATA, AND YOU’D LIKE A COPY FOR YOUR OWN USE.

Richard H. Thaler, Professor of Economics and Behavioral Science. Booth School of Business, University of Chicago.


Concept. The Problem . 11


12 . DataRev Thesis Book

“Third parties locking in our ‘digital self’ into each of their services, we are losing massive collective intelligence opportunites for innovation, value creation, knowledge building, and citizen engagement as a global society.”

Why the Online Identity & Data Ownership Debate Matters, Venessa Miemis


Concept. The Opportunities . 13

OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHANGE Embracing data collection: People-centric web There is a constant tension between customers and companies collecting and holding information. To resolve this tension, discussion should move the privacy data discussion beyond the simplistic notion that aggressive data collection is bad. They need to find a middle ground, a nuanced guidance that align the interest of companies and their customers and ensure that both benefit from data collection. The answer to such a question might lie in collaboration. What would happen if users are offered a peoplecentric web? By considering this statement more closely, I found great room for change. I decided to delve more into this topic, and I found great insights through:

Research & Reading

+

I read several articles written by experts in the field of Big Data. I also went through interviews with professionals, and watched lectures given by scientific researchers and professionals working on embracing data collection.

Surveys

=

I undertook a survey of 48 participants on the subject of data collection. I wanted to understand the perception of people when it comes to losing ownership of their data. I also wanted to measure their beliefs in the power of Big Data to make the world a better place.

Insights Following is the list of insights that led the project all the way to the end.


14 . DataRev Thesis Book

01. CONTRIBUTE TO THE WORLD GROWTH Putting data in the hands of users/consumers can contribute to economical and social growth in the world, with greater stability as people become more comfortable sharing data.

02. UNDERSTAND THE BENEFITS Users are skeptical and confused when it comes to the ultimate benefits of Big Data. Companies need to show in a clearer manner how Big Data can serve in making the world a better place.


Concept. The Opportunities . 15

23.9% Do nothing. Their potential is overrated

56.5% believe in the power of Big Data to do good in this world

26.1%

You believe that having access to data that companies have analyzed to know who you are can:

30.4%

Improve your life and help you take better decisions

Make the world a better place by drawing patterns among users

19.6% Have no value, after all nobody knows you better than you

60% are willing to donate Recent research has found that around 60% of people are willing to donate their data for uses that will benefit the public. The study found that, for many people, the decision to donate their data depends on for what purpose the data will be and how securely it will be stored.


16 . DataRev Thesis Book

03. SHIFT PERCEPTION Most users believe that the purpose of data collection is for companies to gain more money. Very few think that this data is used to make a service better or make the world a better place.


Concept. The Opportunities . 17

04. GET ACCESS TO REALITY MINING Digital breadcrumbs are clues to who we are, what we do and what we want.

05. MAP HABITS AND BEHAVIORS Users are mainly interested in the analysis of the data to understand better themselves and the world rather than the raw data itself.

06. DEFINE WHO YOU ARE Users are interested to know if their online personality matches their offline identity.

07. UNDERSTAND IT WITH INSPIRATION AND EMOTIONS It is difficult for many users to understand the concept of open data when explained through numbers. Users tend to respond to stories that connect to the emotions of everyday life.


18 . DataRev Thesis Book

08. CLAIM YOUR RIGHT Users need new ways to claim their right to the data they generate. A rebalancing of data ownership will allow people to have the same rights they have today over their physical bodies and their money.

09. GET A COPY Most users believe that the data they generate belongs to them. Getting free usage from service providers does not justify their ownership.

10. TAKE CONTROL To have control over their data and understand its use people need: portability, identity, linkability and privacy. Portability The option of taking my personal information and social connections with me across any platform. Identity Have a federated identity instead of making my online identity fractured and fragmented. Linkability People cannot mention me on networks in which I am not a member. Privacy Ways to control the context of how it’s shared or creating permissions for what can be done with it.

11. PROTECT YOUR THOUGHTS Users are concerned about what the government and social media networks know about them more than their medical records.


Concept. The Opportunities . 19

97.9% believe they have the right to access their data You believe that the data you share online belongs to:

38.3% Both, you as a user and the service providers

59.6% You, and you should access it any time

2.1% The service providers, after all they are offering a good service in return

73.9% would like a copy of their data to understand themselves

15.2% You don’t care

If the data is used to predict your habits and behavior, you think it is:

10.9% You don’t believe they can know much about you

54.3% A must that you get a copy

19.6% It would be nice if you had a copy


20 . DataRev Thesis Book

ENCOURAGE SHARING. OUR DATA IS WORTH MORE WHEN SHARED.


Concept. The Opportunities . 21

12. IT IS ABOUT CONNECTIONS BETWEEN PEOPLE, BEHAVIOR AND OUTCOME Accurate understanding of your behavior and personality cannot be achieved without comparing yourself to people in the crowd.

13. ENCOURAGE SHARING Our data is worth more when shared. Analyzed patterns can serve tremendously to making a better world.

THREE PRINCIPLES TO GAIN USERS’ TRUST •

TEACH YOUR CUSTOMERS

GIVE THEM CONTROL

DELIVER IN KIND VALUE


Concept. The Challenge . 23

THE CHALLENGE Turning the focus from looking at data as a source of worry to using data as a mean to help communities and society at large is an exciting challenge. There is out there, a large world of philanthropic initiatives related to online data to serve humankind but none involves the user as a decision maker. The main challenge was to find a unique approach that would reveal itself as being useful and needed by individuals, researchers and NGOs. Though it is true that a huge amount of data is being gathered online, it is all the while true that very few people can understand this data or what to do with it. One of the main difficulties of this project was to explain in simple words a very complex topic. There is a great deal of education that needs to be done in order to initiate users into the topic, ignite change and encourage sharing for social good.


24 . DataRev Thesis Book

DATA IS AN ASSET. SO WHY NOT ALSO SHARE IT FOR A GOOD CAUSE?


Concept. The Solution . 25

THE SOLUTION: DATAREV A solution for the users to improve themselves and the world around them

We’re generating a detailed profile of ourselves that reveals much more about us than what we may realize. Considering that Big Data stores and analyzes not only what is typed but also what is erased, it can draw a very accurate description of the person. These valuable pieces of information are fragmented and scattered. If we connect the dots we are able to make effective and meaningful choices. If we have access to our data and are provided with a copy of its analysis, we can evolve more on a personal and on a social level. This will allow us to understand better our relationships, our habits and our preferences.

A solution for scientists and researchers: reinventing society in the wake of Big Data

Analysis of Big Data is increasingly about finding connections with people around you, and between people’s behavior and outcomes. The data that scientists are interested in is more the breadcrumbs that users leave behind as they move around in the world. These digital breadcrumbs are clues to who they are, what they do and what they want. These analyzed patterns can serve tremendously to making a better, greener world. Scientists need more data sharing but this also means that they need to do a better job in explaining to users how each piece of information can contribute in making the world a better place.


26 . DataRev Thesis Book

DataRev is a solution that creates a public data pool that strengthens the communities and has the power to solve great social issues. It also gives individuals the possibilities to understand the huge amount of data they generate to improve themselves. Users will have access to dashboards where they can see their online behavior and understand how it can benefit the world. On the other hand, NGOs and researchers can post study, share data and request data directly from users.


Concept. The Solution . 27

UNDERSTAND YOUR DATA

IMPROVE YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE

SHARE YOUR DATA

MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE

VISUAL IDENTITY GUIDELINES Our branding is essential to the experience. This document is created to ensure that the brand maintains a consistent look and feel no matter where it communicates. This requires a strict dedication to the rules and regulations mentioned in here.


38 . DataRev Thesis Book

LOGO The logo is composed of 2 elements; the mark and the logotype. Though separate, both symbol and type were designed to complete each other through the dynamic movements and placement. The font, “Track Regular� has been altered and customized so that the horizontal bars of the A and R follow the movement of the heart. The lines represent the mass of data forming the heart. The logo is mostly used with its slogan. However, when the slogan is not needed, it can be dropped without disrupting the balance. The symbol can be used on its own on internal documents and as an avatar. All external communication needs to have the full version.


Visual Identity . Guidelines . 39

Logo Clear Space To ensure that the logo stands out, it is important to position it within an adequate area of clear space. The two elements should always be separated from competing text, images, and graphics. The configuration on the right demonstrates the minimum clear space required as determined by the height of the letter T.

Minimum Size For legibility and accurate print reproduction the logo should not be reproduced smaller than 20mm in width, when used without the tagline (left) and 35mm when used in its full version (right). 20mm

35mm


40 . DataRev Thesis Book

MISUSE OF LOGO To maintain the impact and integrity of the logo and ensure consistent applications, the rules of usage have to be respected at all time. The following list shows the inappropriate use of the logo that might compromise the brand.

Do not change the space between symbol and type

Do not link the tagline to the logo in any other way

Do not use any other version of the logo beside the given horizontal one

Do not rotate the logo

Do not use the logotype on its own without the symbol

Do not distort the proportions of the logo


Visual Identity . Guidelines . 41

Do not invert the colors of the logo

Do not use transparency

Do not change the colors of the logo

Do not use an outlined version of the logo

Do not apply any effect on the logo

Do not use any other color than white on a colored background


42 . DataRev Thesis Book

COLORS Primary Colors The primary colors of the brand are the colors used in the logo. These colors are used in the communication and should be prominent when introducing and promoting the brand.

Secondary Colors The secondary colors are vivid and young. They could be used on all collaterals in their full intensity or 50% opacity.

Gradient Colors The gradient colors are a combination of the primary and secondary colors. They are mostly used in the digital communication. They should be used wisely so as to respect the consistency of the brand.

Visual Identity . Guidelines . 43

Logo Colors The logo is mostly used on a white background. However when the logo is used on a colored background it will always be used in white. On light backgrounds, the logo should be used in its original colors.


44 . DataRev Thesis Book

TYPOGRAPHY DataRev uses 3 different fonts for the identity. GT Haptic black has been chosen for its revolutionary feel and its bold presence.

48 . DataRev Thesis Book

PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE Effects DataRev photographic style is based on bitmaps and monotone/duotone effects. The bitmap effect, as shown on the below images, could be used in 3 different styles: • Lines • Circles • Squares/Mosaic


Visual Identity . Guidelines . 49

Graphics Graphics are placed on top of the bitmap images. The graphics are geometric shapes or lines inspired from the diagonal movement of the logo itself.

Colors The colors used for the monotone and duotone effect of the images are the primary and secondary colors of the brand.

In comparision to the world health organization recommendations, you need to work on your eating habits. It seems that you are a meat lover but too much meat can lead to health issues. Take it easy on salt and sugar as well as dairy products. You need to surveil more the type of drinks you consumer per week, sodas and juices are not recommended for a healthy lifestyle. And… Easy on the beer!

USER TESTING 1 I have tested the informative website and the portal on 4 different users of different ages, gender and occupation. I went to the users so I can observe how they use the website in their own environment as everyday users. Overall the idea was well received. Users found the website to be useful and essential considering where the world is going. They overall had positive feedback on the design and the text. The main concern was related to the safety of user’s data. The testing was also useful to understand what has to be amended and improved when it comes to content, navigation and design.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO HIGHLIGHT THE IDEA OF CONFIDENTIALITY AND TRUST ON THE WEBSITE.

Reassure more the user on the fact that his/her data is going to be safe and that it is securely gathered and transferred. Credit card access for instance was a main concern. I had to remove this item for legal issues.


DataRev Material . Website . 71

Karim, General Manager of a local radio station

CLARIFY THE PROCESS + THE WAY THE DATA IS GATHERED + THE WAY IT IS DONATED

“The website jumps directly into asking the users to login without explaining that they will now see their online data and what it takes from them to gather the data”

“It is something that I would love to learn about myself but I would like to know how they came about to get to this data. How true is it”

“I need to be convinced that this data is going to do something to the world. I will not give it just so that you can tell me who I am”

= CREATE "A HOW IT WORKS" PAGE


DataRev Material . Website . 73

Navigation

“Give more importance to the donation inside the portal. Once you get here, the content is very captivating, so you need to remind the user of the main purpose.”

“The placement of my portal is very confusing. I would like first to know how it works then decide to login to access my portal.”

“Highlight more the data that needs to be donated for each study. It could be when users hover over the icons.”

“When I get to this page from the About section, I do not understand where I am. If the filter is placed at the top it makes more sense.” “Maybe replace the login button with how it works, so I can understand more before I take any action.”

“Consider replacing the Donate button with how it works or browse research studies because we don’t understand where this will take us.”

“The text under the charts on the homepage, looks like bullets rather than sections.”


74 . DataRev Thesis Book

Design The feedback on the design was overall positive. Users felt that the information is well structured and clearly compartmented. The feel is dynamic and engaging. The structure of the website keeps the users interested and curious to discover more.

“The arrow icon used in many places could be confused with a play button.” “No need for arrows and the numbers. They both serve the same purpose.”

“Break down the text into 3 different options: Questions, Volunteering, Suggestions. User should select one for a better structure of the information.” “The fine white text on this page is not clear specially that the images are very captivating.”

Text Users thought that the text is self-explanatory and the language is friendly and easy. The About page clarifies the concept clearly. The “data for good” part and the humanitarian approach are well emphasized.

“Add Online or Digital in all titles.” “Add a disclaimer to specify that data is not 100% accurate.”


DataRev Material . Website . 75

Fadi, Immunologist, Responsible of a medical lab in Norway

GOOD TO HEAR

The idea is very interesting and very much inline with where the world is going today.

The donation part of the website is clear and is put forward in an encouraging way.

We understand clearly from the homepage that there are two parts for the website: data processing and donation.


76 . DataRev Thesis Book

USER TESTING 2 Once the material was finalized, I have tested all my deliverables on 5 different users of different ages, gender and occupation. I went to the users so I can observe how they use the website and how they react when they see the ads that promote DataRev. The idea was very well received by all users. Even those who are skeptical about their data being exposed to others, found it to be useful on a personal level. The concept of giving users ownership of their data was a very positive point for all. The feedback on the design was very positive. Eventhough in the first round of user testing, users found the text to be well drafted, I had this time many comments on word usage or on missing clarification. Users in general wanted the text to focus more on the word “anonymous” and “ownership”.

“ONCE I GET INTO THE ANALYSIS, I NEED TO BE REMINDED OF WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO SHARE MY DATA”

Have a sentence that explains to the user that “by donating your data you can make a difference. Show that x number of studies are in need of your data.”

“The icons inside the analysis are not very integrated. They do not invite me to click. They do not look like a menu they can be easily overlooked. Write under the icons what they are; do not rely on the memory of the users.” “Donate this data does not appear as the most important thing on the page. Users are not encouraged to donate. The analysis is more prominent.”

use share. “Donate is a scary concept for people when

it comes to their personal data. Sharing has a more communal feel. While donate says that this data is no longer your own, share says it still belongs to you but you are letting someone else look at it.�


80 . DataRev Thesis Book

Marc, ENT Doctor

“ANONYMOUS AND CONTROLLED ARE NOT EMPHASIZED ENOUGH. I NEED TO FEEL SAFE.”

All users agreed that safety and security are important. Users need to read in many places that the process is secured. They felt that the text explains the concept but does not reassure when it comes to sharing.

“In How it Works it is important to say that you share your data anonymously and that the sharing will have no impact on your data or your life.” “The text in About and How it Works sections does not explain clearly how they can scan my identity. The process needs to be more obvious on the page.”

“All donation is anonymous. Better to ask is my donation anonymous?” “The word transaction feels financial.”


DataRev Material . Website . 81

“AS A RESEARCHER, MY PART IS NOT VERY ACCOUNTED FOR.” The part that encourages the researchers to upload studies is not that much in focus. It is only in the Login and About. As both a donor and a researcher, I need to know who are the NGOs, research centers, universities, supporting this project. How many cases have been successful so far, how many posted… It gives more credibility to the website.

“You also need to explain to me as a researcher how this website works. This part seems to be only reserved for the donors, while it should be for every user.”

“This is the only place where I see a link to upload a study and it is not very much in focus.”


82 . DataRev Thesis Book

Design The feedback on the design was very positive. Users felt the website was visually appealing and pleasant. The colors are comforting. The feel is dynamic, fresh and engaging. Users thought that the style is unique especially the images and the icons.

“The filter bar is not visible. It should be distinct and obvious”

“The sources are not very clear.”

“Some users thought that the Studies page is crowded and recommended to organize the grid. Some others thought it was light and intriguing.” “This chart is not clear.”

“Put Studies before Impact the World.”

“Place Current Donations before Past Donations.”


DataRev Material . Website . 83

Text The opinion of users was divided on whether the website is text heavy or not. Some thought that I should cut it short, others thought that with such an important topic and responsibilities of sharing data, this content is a must. They advised instead to add more pull quotes to summarize the important points.

Inform people of what they will see in case studies. “Discover how sharing data has already made an impact in the world.”

Share your data to create a better world. This will emphasize the sharing concept more than create a better world.

“I see this as a hopeful message, a positive one. I need to know from the homepage how I can make the world better. It will open up for sharing. The word digital footprint that is used in the ad, is very important and it is not used in the website.”

“You need to clarify that this data is already owned by third parties and you are giving it back to us. Also let me know what is in it for me as a user.”


84 . DataRev Thesis Book

Jen, Academic Researcher


DataRev Material . Website . 85

GOOD TO HEAR

The project is revolutionary. Especially for us researchers, since we struggle timewise and financially to find the data that we need.

The beauty of this project is that it gives me back ownership and it gives me a voice as a user, that service providers and corporations are taking away from me. I can use this data differently now that I have a copy.

If I don’t want to share data, at least I can improve my own health and life.

In this whole war of data, it is nice to have something that gives you the possibility to showing goodwill.

None of this would have been possible without his continuous support, his wisdom and his love. And My mother-in-law, Mona for her time and care. My siblings, Jad, Jana, Rawane for their love, their good mood and their energy. TO MY WONDERFUL FRIENDS AND CO-WORKERS Andrea, for being always present. Fadi, for being such a great listener. Ramona, for her time and her presence. Also Marc, Cynthia, Jenny, Yara, Karim, Kamil, Nissrine and Christine. TO MY INSPIRING ADVISORS Jeremy Stout, Samantha Perkins and Anitra Nottingham, I am a better designer today because of their guidance.
