Data Handling & GDPR

TrackForge proof design minimises personal data exposure. Public blockchain records contain hash commitments, not catalogue metadata, writer data, or personal information.

Data Categories

• Catalogue metadata supplied by the owner.
• Reference evidence needed for UK/US workflow checks.
• Evidence packet hashes and Merkle roots.
• Rating event metadata.
• Operator evidence where required for remediation or proof.

Public Proofs

OpenTimestamps proofs record cryptographic commitments only. The blockchain does not contain track titles, writer names, IPI numbers, catalogue names, or ownership shares.

External Sources

External source consultation is documented as part of the workflow and evidence provenance. Source use must be described according to the actual workflow version used, not roadmap ambition.
