Gener8 - Earn From Your Data

Gener8

About this app

Currently, Gener8 rewards are focused on users in the United Kingdom. In other countries, you can still use the app to check what data Google stores on you, exchange your data for Gener8 points, and spend them on charity donations.

Gener8 is backed by 3 Dragons from the BBC’s Dragons’ Den. More than 750,000 people already use Gener8 on desktop & mobile!
Everyone’s making money from your data. Except you. Gener8 changes this.
HOW IT WORKS:
Connect apps to Gener8
See the data they hold on you in a cool new way
Keep your data private and secure and earn points from it
Spend your points on: gift cards, gadgets, exclusive offers, charity donations & more!
WHY WE DO IT:
At Gener8, we believe that you should be able to control your own data.
Right now, your data is being hoovered up by companies that you’ve never even heard of. It feels like everyone is making money from your data. Except you.
Gener8 changes that. We put you back in control.
Gener8 shows you what information other apps hold on you. We visualise this in a beautiful and easy-to-understand manner and then empower you to exchange your private and secure data from these companies for Gener8 rewards—should you choose to.
One of the ways Gener8 can reward you for your data is through the use of Accessibility Services, which we only access with your active consent, to collect data on your online activities, for example, browsing history, app usage, and online searches.
No data leaves your device or passes through any of our systems without your explicit consent. All insights are generated on your device, and data is only shared with us if you choose to. All your data is kept private and secure.
Watch the space. We’re constantly improving the app!

Ratings and reviews

Made an app password in my Google account I don't know but wouldn't progress past 92%. Now it won't do mfa on my phone when trying to sync with my Google account. It just stays stuck at the "2 step verification" screen waiting for a push notification that'll never arrive on my phone for some reason. I can only hope this didn't completely break my mfa for other stuff. My Google account claimed I had some 6 sessions open on my phone despite this.

Great app! It's easy to use! Can take a little while to set up. The MAJOR pit fall for it, though, is there's absolutely NO way to redeem rewards unless you're in the UK and it doesn't tell you this ANYWHERE in the app until AFTER they've collected quite a bit of your data. This type of information should be mentioned right off the bat. Honestly, though, how hard is it to just give out a PayPal reward or cashapp? 🤔

Why is this app available in USA if points cannot be redeemed by anyone living outside of UK?!! Plus, there is no way to unlink your accounts, like Google accounts, from the app. There is literally no settings button. This is ridiculous. I have emailed support to unlink and delete my google account and its data. I hope they let me do that. Most likely will delete account if I can't redeem points within a week. Anyone not in UK don't install. It's like a trap.
