Your Digital Identity Should Work for Democracy.
By 2027, every European will have access to a Digital Identity Wallet. But will it truly serve citizens - or simply replicate the Big Tech lock-in we already know?
A Historic Chance to Break the Cycle.
The European Digital Identity Wallet (EDIW) is one of the most consequential digital policy decisions of this decade. Right now, Europeans access platforms using Big Tech accounts, store their data on corporate servers, and are locked into ecosystems built on profit over agency.
The EDIW is a historic opportunity to break that cycle - and Eumans is pushing to make it happen. This is not just about technology. It is about freedom: the right to choose your services, switch between them, and access your data - regardless of country, provider or software.
What We're Fighting For.
Interoperability between platforms
One identity, one sign-in. All digital services - public and private - must accept the EDIW, ending forced dependency on Big Tech accounts.
Aligned with article 12 of the Digital Services Act & Article 6 of the eIDAS regulation.Digital Citizenship for All
The EDIW as the default sign-in for all EU digital public services, civic-participation tools (ECIs, Citizens' Assemblies, consultations, etc.), and AI systems used by European institutions.
Civic participation at every level - local, national and EU.Enforced Data Portability
All user data stored in European Data Spaces and accessible via the EDIW, so citizens can move between platforms without losing their data or history.
Aligned with Article 28 of the GDPR & the Open Data Directive.The Decisions Made Now Decide Everything.
Member States Choose Trust Service Providers
Eumans is pushing to embed democratic functions into that decision - before the architecture sets.
Wallet Rollout Begins
The decisions made now determine whether the wallet serves citizens or repeats the lock-in we already have.
Put to Europe's Institutions.
We've put these demands to the European Commission (DG CNECT, JUST, DIGIT), the European Parliament (IMCO, ITRE, LIBE, AFCO), the Council of the EU, and the European Data Protection Supervisor.
Co-sign the initiative.
Add your name to the citizens, institutions and organisations calling for a Digital Identity Wallet that serves democracy.
