In a world where data was craved and sought,
Third parties hawked and traded, a wild free-for-all bought.
A trove of details, cookies exchanged,
And we, the users, felt our privacy estranged.

Second party data, a bit more refined,
Mutual agreements, a data-sharing find.
A lesser-known cousin, more honest it seems,
Yet no hero of privacy, as it still peeks at our dreams.

First party data, with consent not so clear,
When we visit websites, cookies stealthily appear.
Still in the shadows, they hold the key,
The owners of secrets, our captivity they decree.

Enter then zero party data, a scheme so sly,
A subtle persuasion, a lure, a wry try.
With quizzes and surveys, their tricks did unfold,
Coaxing out secrets, our data they’d hold.

But lo! A new hero, a fresh wind that blows,
Enter our protagonist, zero knowledge data arose.
Where companies operate, unseen is the clue,
We users are masters, controlling the view.

In a world that’s consensual, encrypted, and fair,
Privacy now cherished, trust restored with great care.
This wondrous new era, the future, the key,
A realm called “zero knowledge data,” the pinnacle, we see.

With joy, we proclaim this ode to the vision,
Born from a world where privacy has risen.
In the name of the people, of progress, and right,
We celebrate zero knowledge data, a beacon so bright.
