# Introducing AVATAR.

### Introduction to AVATAR.

AVATAR puts you back in control of your online identity! You should be able to access the internet freely without giving up your personal information.

In this day and age, everyone knows more about us than we know ourselves. Companies are collecting data about us as much as possible and matching it to our known identities (email addresses, phone numbers, social media accounts etc.).

We should not be complacent about giving out this information as quickly as we do now. The data is sold to millions of companies from around the world. Companies that we know nothing about know far too much about ourselves.

We need more control over what data we give up and to who we give it. There are, of course, many reasons that giving up this data is valid but sometimes not in the way you may think. For example, a company asking for your date of birth to prove you are older than 18 before viewing a page could easily ask if you are older than 18. You could confirm this without giving up personal details such as your birthdate (used in many fraud and identity thefts).

***AVATAR provides a better way.***
