Data Independence: Reclaiming Privacy in an Era of Evolving Tech is a 2024 nonfiction book by data scientist Wes Chaar about personal-data ownership, digital surveillance, and governance in an AI-driven economy. Written for general readers as well as people working in technology, policy, and organizations, it examines how everyday activities generate records that can be aggregated into commercially and politically valuable profiles. Chaar treats privacy not simply as secrecy or a matter of individual settings, but as a question of autonomy: whether people can meaningfully decide how information about them is collected, shared, analyzed, and valued. The book combines an accessible account of the data economy with a reform-oriented vocabulary. Its central proposals include the Three Cs of consent, control, and currency, the broader TAPER principles, and the conceptual Personal Data Vault Key. The purpose is therefore both diagnostic and practical, arguing that data practices should shift people from passive sources of extraction toward active participants in decisions about their digital identities.
