Full disclosure, I work with Neil on the project, https://withregard.io/about (Guy on the left)

Your questions are good ones, and ones that we are trying to test ourselves. I think it probably is true that people aren't concerned about what data is collected by them when using apps at the minute, but that is probably because they don't know. As people become more aware of what kind of data is collected and what it is being used for, I think we could see a change in how people view what they are willing to sacrifice for 'free' things. Privacy is becoming more important as people become more aware of what is being disclosed, and I think people behaving appropriately shouldn't be afraid of disclosing exactly what they are collecting and exactly what they are using it for. My colleague Andrew wrote an article for our blog about this: https://withregard.io/blog

The disclosing the data as JSON is the absolute MVP we could do to get started, although you could argue over the 'V'... Our plan is to start speaking with end users and finding out what bits of the data being disclosed is the most important and find ways to visualize, all the time promoting the fact that they own the data.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback, sign up if you want to find out more as we build out the service.
