Brief overview
Ownli is an iPhone app from Parked Solutions Inc that lets people take control of their personal information by turning it into a tradable asset. The free app creates a marketplace where users can package and sell verified data to companies in exchange for perks, discounts, or payments.
How it works
Users gather and submit their own information through the app. Ownli’s system verifies those submissions with AI-driven checks, then lists certified data sets for interested businesses. Companies can buy or license the anonymized, validated information to inform marketing or product decisions, and in return users receive compensation.
Ways you can earn
- Behavior-triggered bonuses that reward specific actions or ongoing habits
- Ongoing or repeat payments for sustained data access
- One-time payments for individual data sets
Reporting and verification process
Self-reporting is designed to be straightforward. For example, to document mileage a user photographs their vehicle and odometer; the app’s models then validate the image and attest to the accuracy of the reading. Once certified, that data becomes more attractive to buyers because it’s been checked for authenticity.
Availability and developer
Ownli is available on iPhone and is offered at no charge. The app is developed and maintained by Parked Solutions Inc.
Suggested alternative
Sparkly Painting (free) is listed as a top recommended alternative for users seeking a different approach or additional options.
Benefits and considerations
Turning personal data into a revenue source can provide useful rewards and more personalized offers from companies. At the same time, users should weigh the trade-offs involved in sharing information — even when certified and anonymized — and review the app’s terms and privacy details before participating.
