Why keep things up to date?
Only when interests, attributes and consents are current can Pia identify and match suitable benefits for you.
A cooperative means: not just being a customer, but having a say.
A registered cooperative is an association of people pursuing economic, social or cultural goals together. Unlike a classic platform, the focus is not first on maximising returns for investors, but on promoting the members.
For you as a consumer
You get rights, transparency and a clear framework for how your interests and consents are used.
For the community
Many individual profiles become a collective voice towards brands, platforms and digital services.
What you should know about cooperatives.
Member promotion
The cooperative exists for its members. It should promote their economic activity, livelihood, or social and cultural interests.
- Benefit before pure profit maximisation
- Doing business together
- Long-term orientation
Democratic control
Members exercise their rights at the general meeting. At SP Safe Profile eG: every member has one vote.
- Member, not just user
- Election of the supervisory board
- Decisions on key matters
Audited structure
A registered cooperative has clear bodies: board, supervisory board and general meeting. It is also part of an audit association.
- Board manages operations
- Supervisory board oversees
- Members decide together
What makes SP Safe Profile eG special.
1. A cooperative for consumer data rights
The cooperative manages members' personal data transparently and in members' interests. This includes data protection, data rights and the responsible use of data.
2. Not an anonymous data pool, but consent
The central idea is not more advertising, but more control. You decide which interests, channels and location sharing may be used. Partners do not automatically receive your identity.
3. Strong rights, low barrier to entry
At SP Safe Profile eG, the business share is €1. Each member may hold only one business share. There is no obligation to make additional contributions.
4. The better your profile, the more relevant the benefits
The more up to date your profile and consents are, the more accurately Pia can connect you with suitable offers and benefits.
Cooperative vs. classic platform.
| Question | Classic digital platform | SP Safe Profile eG |
|---|---|---|
| Who is at the centre? | Users as reach, a data source or a target group. | Member as a co-owner, user and co-creator. |
| Who decides? | Management, investors or platform logic. | Members via the general meeting; executive and supervisory board according to the statutes. |
| How is value created? | Mostly through advertising, tracking and algorithmic optimisation. | Through transparent consents, relevant benefits and cooperative promotion. |
| What about data? | Often hard to trace who uses what about you. | You should be able to see, control and change which data and consents matter. |
| Financial risk? | No membership risk, but also no membership rights. | €1 business share; no obligation to make additional contributions under the statutes. |
