There are organizations, called data brokers, that collect data on people from various sources, both online
and offline. Most notably, they purchase data from Internet services and mobile applications that collect
information on their users and track their in-app behavior.
The data is used to create profiles for individual consumers. Acxiom, a top data broker, has on average
1,500 pieces of information on more than 200 million Americans. Acxiom and other data brokers are able
to combine all the information they have on each individual to generate in-depth consumer behavior
reports across a wide range of industries, which they sell.
Data brokers make a lot of money. In 2012, Acxiom was reported to have made $1.13 billion in sales,
earning a profit of $77.26 million. Forbes reports that Big Data Analytics is a $200 billion per year
industry and that by 2019 nearly all businesses will be customers of a data broker such as Acxiom.
But consumers, who are actually driving the industry, do not share in the profit.

The Insights Networks consists of the following components:
● Authentication
● User profiles
● Decentralized data brokerage
● Surveys
● Two-sided rating
