Your World in Data connects personal insight, careful measurement and reusable science—while participants remain in control of their data and share in the value it creates.
Every measure pairs a careful score with plain-language interpretation, uncertainty, comparison context and choices about how the result is shown.

The platform has distinct spaces for taking part, conducting research and reusing approved public datasets.
Complete validated psychological measures, receive useful feedback, revisit your results and decide how your contribution may be used.
Design versioned measures, launch governed research, recontact eligible participants and request authorised analyses without exposing identity.
Download documented monthly snapshots of consented, de-identified core data in analysis-friendly formats, with transparent provenance and disclosure controls.
Every reuse pathway begins with a recorded purpose and the participant’s current choices.
Research records use random study codes; public releases receive new release-specific match codes.
Monthly data snapshots include codebooks, stable columns and clear provenance for reproducible analysis.
Participants can see approved projects, invitations and rewards in one transparent research wallet.
Every chart, download and researcher request identifies where its data came from and what permission governs it.
The existing 100K reference sample remains a source-labelled comparison resource. Its participant-level records are not added to Your World in Data public releases unless the original consent and licence explicitly permit that use.
Outside-platform sourceNew platform responses enter public snapshots only after explicit participant opt-in, completion, data minimisation and disclosure checks.
Platform-collectedResearcher-created studies remain private to their recorded ethics and governance pathway. They never flow into the public core by default.
Project-controlledEstimated time, task type, sensitivity and feedback are visible before participation.
Questionnaires and behavioural tasks share a versioned, auditable study system.
Signed-in participants can revisit results, permissions, uses and rewards over time.
Public releases include codebooks, provenance, limitations and stable schemas.
