* **Data Read Request:** This occurs when a website or service wants to read information from your Data Wallet. Datamask allows you to see exactly what data is being requested before you decide to approve or decline the request.
* **Data Write Request:** This happens when a website or service wants to write or store information in your Data Wallet. Similar to read requests, you can review the details before deciding to accept or decline.

### **Access Authorizations**

Datamask keeps a detailed record of all access authorizations you have granted. You can easily review, manage, and revoke access as needed. Each authorization is time-bound and fully transparent, ensuring that your data is shared only with those you trust, and only for as long as you allow.

### **Data Transaction History**

Transparency is key in managing your data. Datamask provides a comprehensive transaction history, allowing you to review all data interactions, including what was shared, with whom, and when. This feature ensures that you have complete visibility over your data's journey, maintaining full control at all times.
