This is a story about the future of data integrity and monetization.
Jeff is the founder of Cocoon MyData Rewards™, an app that pays users cash just for sharing their online data anonymously.
Jeff's audience on social media is greater than 20,000 and he is happy to promote the episode to his fans!
Hi, I’m Jeff Bermant, I believe that since it is your data, you deserve to get paid, and that is why I created Cocoon MyData Rewards™.
For years, browsers and search engines have been collecting your data making billions of dollars selling it. With so many people being left out, I thought we should do something. Cocoon MyData Rewards™ helps users sell their online data easily and anonymously. Now you can decide, whether to cash in on the sale of your anonymized data or keep that data completely private.
Founded in 2008, my company Virtual World Computing has been dedicated to providing a better, trusted browsing experience with superior privacy controls. Now we are changing the Internet once again, this time giving users control over their data with an unprecedented way to monetize that data anonymously. MyData Rewards™ is an industry first, enabling users to cash in on a billion-dollar business of online data monetization.
Our company’s commitment has always been to our users, and we are committed to improve the experience and increase the ability to profit. I’m proud to say, we are a data company who is all about earning money FOR the user, NOT just FROM the user.
I would love to speak to your guests about:
- How tech giants monetize user data for their own big profits and why we need data profit sharing now.
- How to manage a startup software company.
- Why users willingly share their data with us.
- The future of data monetization, Cocoon and how we plan to increase profits to users who share their data.
- Exactly what user data is collected and how much that data is worth.

💻 Virtual World Computing – CEO
My position as co-founder and CEO of Virtual World Computing has been the culmination of my entrepreneurial career and my work as a passionate advocate for a safer and more secure Internet.

🚀 Cocoon Browser – Founder / CEO
As Internet users become increasingly aware that their personal data is a commodity, one that big-name browsers are cashing in on, I’m thrilled to be able to offer people a free, cloud-based browser that allows the individual user to take back control over their own digital privacy and online security. Cocoon allows international users to access region-restricted US content from anywhere in the world, and uses military-grade encryption, secure cloud servers, and proxies to provide unprecedented security and privacy online.
Cocoon is currently available for desktop, laptop, and Android devices, and we’re going to be rolling out disruptive new features in the near future.
