Digital Autonomy for everyone
Your digital identity in one app
In a world where digital identity is becoming increasingly important, it’s crucial that you can trust solutions that put your interests first. Yivi is built from the conviction that digital autonomy is a fundamental right.
Unlike many commercial identity solutions, Yivi is not dependent on foreign investors or tech giants. Yivi is fully open source, in Dutch hands, and contractually protected against sale to foreign parties.

What makes Yivi unique?
Not all identity solutions offer the same guarantees. Many solutions are foreign-owned or can be sold without warning. Yivi is different:
- Permanently Dutch - Contractually protected against sale to foreign parties
- Fully transparent - 100% open source code that anyone can audit
- Data in the Netherlands - Hosted in Amsterdam at Scaleway and TransIP, not with BigTech
- Privacy-by-design - You only share what’s strictly necessary
Login without password
No more passwords to remember
Do I enter my email address or my name? And what was my password again? That long sequence or did I use a shorter one? With Yivi, signing in is a piece of cake. You scan the QR code with your Yivi app and securely share your data. No need to remember any account details and passwords. Easy-peasy.
Organise your affairs digitally
You decide what to share
Booking an appointment with your GP? Do so by entering just your email address with Yivi. Voting in your municipality? Share your postal code. Nothing more, because that’s all they need to know. Buying cinema tickets? Only show that you’re over 18 - the rest is none of their business. Yivi makes it easy to run digital errands. And you’ll only share the absolutely necessary information.
Digital signing, the easy way
Digital signing
Yivi also allows you to digitally sign and approve things. Your personal data then form a kind of digital stamp. So you can use Yivi to digitally sign as a citizen or approve something digitally from another business role.
Show what matters to you
Voting
Ever have of those days where you’re completely swamped? Running from one appointment to the next. And to make things worse, now your municipality is asking for your thoughts on their plans for your neighbourhood. Quite important, but you barely have a minute to spare. Thankfully, you can use Yivi to quickly decide on that new charging station. Right from your phone.
How Yivi works
Switching to something new can be complicated. That’s why we’ve made it as simple as we could. Here’s how you can get started with Yivi: download the free Yivi app, choose a PIN, enter your email, and collect your (Dutch citizen) data via DigiD. And you’ll be set in 5 minutes!
More about how Yivi works
Your privacy and security are key
You decide what and with whom you share your data. So you never share more data than necessary. For example, if you want to order tickets for that exciting 18+ film, Yivi allows you to prove that you are 18 years or older by ticking the box, without sharing your date of birth. This protects your privacy.
Yivi is not only technically secure, but also organizationally. The trademark rights belong to the Privacy by Design Foundation, and Yivi is managed by Caesar Groep, a Dutch family business. It is contractually stipulated that Yivi cannot be sold to foreign parties, and that in case of discontinuation everything falls back to the foundation.
