Privacy and Data Handling

ZAIL is committed to ensuring user privacy and data security in accordance with the decentralized ethos of Web3. While users' activities are tracked to build reputation scores, ZAIL ensures that all personal data remains under user control. Key principles include:

1. Self-Sovereign Identity

ZAIL provides users with full ownership of their identity. All personal and behavioral data is decentralized, meaning users maintain control over their information and can choose what to share with others. No central authority has access to private data unless granted by the user.

2. Privacy-First Approach

ZAIL uses advanced encryption and zero-knowledge proof technologies to ensure that sensitive data is never exposed. Only the necessary data for reputation scoring and identity verification is shared with the network, without revealing private details like wallet balances, transaction histories, or personal identifiers.

3. Secure Data Storage

All data is securely stored on blockchain networks that are transparent, immutable, and resistant to tampering. ZAIL utilizes decentralized storage protocols, ensuring that data is protected from centralized points of failure and third-party exploitation.

4. Transparency & Control

Users have full visibility into their data. They can access and manage their reputation profile, see how their identity and reputation score are being calculated, and review past interactions. Transparency is maintained in all aspects of data handling, and users can update or delete their data as they wish.

5. AI Ethics

ZAIL’s AI models are designed to operate ethically and transparently. The algorithms used for reputation scoring are continuously tested to ensure fairness, prevent bias, and ensure that reputation adjustments are based on objective and verifiable data. Users are notified of any changes in the way their reputation score is calculated and have the option to appeal or challenge the results if needed.
