A foundation, not a startup.
Digital identity is infrastructure. It should answer to the public interest, not to quarterly results.
Identity is not a product. It is infrastructure — like roads, like water. So we built it the way infrastructure should be built: open, free, and owned by no one but you.
0
shareholders. No one profits from your identity.
0
advertisements. Your data is not the business model.
3
of four levels free, forever — anchored in our statutes.

mission: identity that answers to you.
Our DNA
User sovereignty
Your identity belongs to you. Every disclosure is your explicit decision.
Data minimisation
Services get answers, not data. Over 18? Yes. Birthdate? None of their business.
Balance of power
The YourID Foundation is governed by multiple stakeholders so no single party can dominate.
Open standards
WebAuthn, OpenID Connect, published keys. No lock-in — verifiably.
Governance
The YourID Foundation is registered in the Netherlands and operates as a non-profit. Its board balances end users, partners and independent experts to guarantee impartial oversight.
End users
Represented on the board with a decisive voice in every policy that touches personal data.
Partners
Businesses and institutions that rely on YourID help steer the roadmap — without owning it.
Independent experts
Privacy, security and civil-rights specialists with a mandate to say no.
Social impact
Millions of people are excluded from digital life because identity systems fail them. A free, universal, privacy-first identity layer is our contribution to changing that.
