Makes sense - I've heard you use the term a few times but seems I misunderstood it.

From a user perspective, it's also important that I'm not inadvertently relinquishing my data to third parties.

This is correct, and it does create a new paradigm where people can know for sure what you declare as your data, but I think you guys were cross-talking about use cases. Digital-rights-management (the ability to enforce ownership rights like deletion) is actually an oxymoron, impossible.
