Informacemi

Informacemi is a term encountered in some discussions of privacy, data governance, and information ethics to denote the set of information that constitutes an individual’s personal information and the control the person can exercise over it. The concept centers on the idea of informational self-determination and data portability, framing personal data not merely as records held by institutions but as a coherent information footprint that a person should be able to access, manage, and, if desired, move or delete.

Origins and usage: Informacemi is a neologism rather than a standardized technical term. It has appeared in multilingual discussions and informal texts as a way to talk about “my information” or one’s informational assets. Because it is not codified in privacy laws or international standards, its precise scope and definitions vary by author and context.

Scope: Proponents typically include identifiers (such as name and contact data), behavioral data (online activity and preferences), demographic data, and derived data (profiles and scoring). Metadata about data processing and provenance can also be included. The term emphasizes person-centric governance rather than institution-centric data management.

Rights and governance: In discussions of informacemi, core rights include access to data, portability to transfer to other services, rectification of inaccuracies, deletion where lawful, consent management, and data security. The concept also invites scrutiny of data silos, interoperability, and the ethical implications of data use.

Limitations: Because informacemi is not a standardized term, its boundaries depend on the context. When used, it should be clearly defined to avoid ambiguity in policy, research, or practice.
