Abstract: Digital Services are everywhere around and with us. Regardless if we log into our company IT systems, if we order lunch online or do some Christmas shopping.

Just to name a few. Booking travel, leasing cars, checking our bank account are just a few more.

Checking the time on your smart watch and btw. Read some messages being send to you.

And those is just a sample of the visible services. Who knows about the other, hidden service?

One is for all in common. We have to struggle with separated accounts across all platforms and services.

We as the users of digital platforms of any kind for any purpose are individuals. Therefore should we be treated as digital individuals.
