Frequently Asked Questions

Permission was created to put an end to the interruptive, exploitative advertising model that drives today’s web and to give individuals back ownership of their data. The company has developed the infrastructure for a Web3 advertising platform based on permission and value exchange. Powered by the Permission Token (“ASK”), the platform enables individuals to securely grant permission and monetize their personal data across the digital ecosystem. Permission’s vision is for ASK to be the most widely used digital reward throughout the advertising ecosystem, enabling users to earn from their data and advertisers to obtain permission, motivate action, and increase ROI.

Permission.io’s mission is to help individuals all over the globe earn from their data. Internet giants profit from your data without you being able to control or benefit from it. Your search, shopping, social data … big tech makes billions selling it to advertisers while you get nothing. Permission.io is leading the next generation of advertising by transferring that value back to you. Now, individuals, not corporate behemoths, are rewarded for granting permission to engage with brands and content based on their personal data and preferences.

Only if you want them to. We enable users to permission their data directly to brands that they wish to engage with. However, when users are targeted for advertisements through the Permission platform, all data, regardless of source, is de-identified and aggregated for targeting purposes. Permission will always know which data is tied to each person, for purposes of rewarding ASK Tokens and ensuring interactions are compensated.

ASK is a tokenized rewards point. A utility token that runs on the Polygon Network, ASK powers the Permission platform and a new digital advertising paradigm built on opt-in engagement and value exchange.

KYC is required by financial services companies such as banking institutions, credit companies, and insurance agencies to ensure their customers are legitimate and not involved with corruption, bribery, or money laundering.
