Why Not Donate Our Data?
A Data Donor is a person that understands the value of giving their de-identified & anonymized health data to be used for medical research purposes. He or she donates with the expectation that the privacy and security of their information is protected.

You are Already Donating your Data, but may not know it
Have you heard the saying: "What you do in Vegas, stays in Vegas"? Well, anything you share with Facebook stays with Facebook and stays forever - even if you delete the photo or message or delete your entire account. Facebook continues using your data for data mining purposes, selling ads etc.
Check it:
Twitter? Well Twitter is the same as Facebook! The company doesn’t actually delete any user data as at the moment even when you delete your account. Your posts and photos exist in perpetuity.
Check it:
Google tracks everything you do and knows more about you that you know about yourself.
Most people don't know how to stop Google from doing this or how to delete some of the data. If you aren't controlling what is tracked, your data stays with Google forever.
