66# ❓ What Is Protected Data?
77
8- Protected Data is iExec's revolutionary approach to data privacy and ownership.
9- It allows you to maintain control over your data while enabling computation on
10- it without exposing the raw information.

12- ## Key Concepts
13-
14- ### Data Ownership
15-
16- - ** You own your data** : The original data never leaves your control
17- - ** Granular permissions** : Decide who can access and use your data
18- - ** Revocable access** : Grant and revoke permissions at any time
13+ Protected Data refers to any data encrypted using the iExec Data Protector tool.
14+ This end-to-end encryption solution enables users to protect, manage and
15+ monetize their data within the Web3 ecosystem.

" >Unlike standard datasets, Protected Data exposes only its <span class =" text-fuchsia-700 font-semibold " >data types on-chain</span > (for example, indicating that it contains an email address or a photo).

22- - ** Encrypted processing** : Data is encrypted during computation
23- - ** TEE (Trusted Execution Environment)** : Secure enclaves protect data during
24- processing
25- - ** Zero-knowledge** : Compute on data without revealing it
26-
27- ### Monetization
21+ ## Key Concepts
2822
29- - ** Data marketplaces** : Sell access to your protected data
30- - ** Usage tracking** : Monitor how your data is being used
31- - ** Fair compensation** : Get paid for data usage
