The Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) stated that the "MyData Platform" provides convenient and diverse online personalized data downloading and service application options. It offers 10 types of identity verification methods, with the verification level determined by the sensitivity of the data-providing agency. Individuals can consider their own needs and choose the most convenient method based on the verification level. For example, for the recently popular "proof of entry and exit dates," individuals can choose to verify using physical cards such as chip financial cards or health insurance cards on the MyData platform. Alternatively, for those without physical cards, they can opt for verification using mobile natural person certificates or "mobile phone number + health insurance card number," among other methods, This allows them to quickly and conveniently obtain entry and exit-related information from the Ministry of the Interior's National Immigration Agency. In the past two weeks alone, there have been over 160,000 applications, with a total application volume exceeding 170,000.
Moda has pointed out the importance of reducing the time and effort people spend on traveling to government departments and applying for personal certificates or services in person. To address this, they provide secure, convenient, and trustworthy online services. The MyData platform, with its core principle of "people's voluntary consent and secure data access," was officially launched on April 15, 2021. It has integrated with 80 central and local government agencies, financial institutions, and other organizations, offering over 900 data downloads and service applications, with a cumulative usage exceeding 1.47 million times. Through the MyData platform, people can access personalized data from various government agencies without the need to visit in person. By undergoing online identity verification and providing personal consent, service applications become more convenient. Moda continues to improve the diversity and convenience of MyData identity verification while strengthening the mechanism for informed consent. During user operations, individuals are notified via SMS or email, and they can also check their usage records for the past two years on the MyData platform.
Moda provides examples to illustrate how various government agencies are promoting digital convenience services by continuously integrating various application services with the MyData platform. This eliminates the need for people to travel back and forth, collect required documents, and saves time spent on applications and paper usage. For example, services like "Social Housing Rental Application" and "Tax Convenience Services" require various proofs such as household registration, proof of low to medium income status, and disability qualifications. Through the MyData platform, after verifying their identity and obtaining consent, individuals can obtain all the necessary documents at once. They no longer need to apply for and collect data from multiple sources, reducing the time and cost of application for the public.
Moda emphasizes its commitment to continuously deepening the mechanism for independent data application. It will collaborate with central and local governments to develop diverse theme-based convenience services across agencies, departments, and regions. This effort aims to provide the public with a safer and more convenient smart lifestyle.
"Convenience in life starts with MyData. For more convenient services, please visit the MyData platform."
