The Data Transfer Initiative (DTI) is a U.S. 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering individuals by enabling simpler, faster, and more secure data transfers through data portability at scale. Born out of the Data Transfer Project (DTP), a collaborative open-source effort initiated in 2018 by a consortium of technology companies, DTI advances its mission through the design and implementation of open source data transfer tools and other innovations and investments to foster a healthy portability ecosystem. DTI also serves as an expert resource to regulators around the world, helping translate principle to practice and catalyzing greater user agency and empowerment.
