Privacy Policy & Cryptographic Data Shield

1. Information We Collect

As a public corporate portal, we collect minimal data required strictly for security operations:

• Voluntary Institutional Inquiries: Contact information (name, organization, institutional email) submitted through our partnership portal.
• Perimeter Security Logs: IP address, user-agent, and request timestamps processed temporarily by the Argus Sentinel WAF solely to mitigate DDoS, brute force, and injection attacks.
• Cryptographic Identity Signatures: Public keys or WebAuthn credentials when machine-to-machine agents interact with authenticated API Bank endpoints.

2. Zero-Knowledge Solvency & KYC Protection

Where regulatory compliance (FinCEN BSA / AML) or proof of reserves is required, our infrastructure employs ZK-SNARKs and Merkle sum tree commitments. This enables mathematical verification of accreditation, liquidity, or compliance status without exposing underlying personal identifying information (PII) or institutional wallet balances.

3. Data Retention & Cryptographic Storage

All stored communications are encrypted at rest using AES-256 and in transit via TLS 1.3 / HTTPS. Transient security audit logs are automatically purged on rolling 30-day schedules unless flagged by an active cybersecurity threat incident.

4. CCPA & GDPR Compliance Rights

In compliance with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), visitors and partners possess the right to:

• Request confirmation and disclosure of any personal information held.
• Request permanent deletion of contact inquiries from our dispatch registers.
• Opt out of any future institutional communications at any time.
