Snickerdoodle Labs is a data privacy company founded in 2021 that is building a "consent layer" for the internet. Its mission is to foster a more equitable data economy where individuals have control over their personal information and are rewarded for sharing it.
The core of Snickerdoodle's service is a decentralized data exchange platform that allows people to own and monetize their data anonymously. The platform provides a suite of tools for both individuals and businesses. For individuals, there is a data wallet that allows them to aggregate their Web2 and Web3 data and control who has access to it. For businesses, Snickerdoodle offers a consent management platform that allows them to request and manage user consent in a compliant and transparent way. A key feature is the "share-to-earn" model, where users are rewarded with cryptocurrency for sharing their data with brands.
