3 Part 3 Addressing Data Sharing & Privacy Challenges Data sharing without compromising privacy Data Empowerment 25
User Data is being appropriated Internet Platforms gather and retain user data in proprietary silos. The problem is not simply that companies are benefiting from this data. The problem is that the people aren’t Account Aggregators rebalance that equation 26
The Account Aggregator will facilitate consented sharing of financial information in real-time Bank Mutual Fund House Insurance Provider Tax / GST Platform Flow-Based Credit Personal Finance Management Wealth Management Robo Advisors Financial Information Providers Financial Information Users Account Aggregator 3. Data Flows to FIUs End-to-End Encrypted 1. Consent to share data 2. Request Data through Open APIs 27
The Account Aggregator is a Consent Manager 000101 AAs enable consumers to selectively share & even revoke data once shared. The AAs have a fiduciary duty to consumers 100111 0 1 0 0 1 1 AAs cannot read consumer data. They cannot resell consumer data. 28 7 AAs have in-principle approval. 1 AA has operational license 10 FIU/FIPs from leading banks and NBFCs
Digital Footprints Consented Data Sharing Business Micro-Credit Business Growth Tax Returns & Bank Statements With the Account Aggregator, Rajni can demand ● Her Tax returns ● Her Bank & Account Data ● Her Home Loan repayment record be shared with Lenders Thus, securing a loan with her richer digital footprint. Small Business Owners can get credit using data 29

Digital Systems offer new tools to manage defaults Digital Systems enable early-warning systems & more precise regulatory intervention 30
Account Aggregators keep consumer financial data safe & make its usage auditable But they also make it useful for consumers India is leapfrogging to a Data Democracy Data is used to sell things to consumer Data to be used to empower consumer This inverts usage of Data! 31
