DATA_PROTECTION // PRIVACY_PROTOCOL

TRANSACTION_IMMUTABILITY: All financial interactions (deposits, withdrawals, BNPL executions) are recorded on the Creditcoin blockchain. These records are permanent and pseudonymous.

METADATA_CLEANSING: Off-chain relayers strip non-essential IP headers and device identifiers before broadcast. Your physical location is never stored on the Polaris ledger.

TTL_VARIABLES: Temporary session data (UI preferences, local cache) is assigned a "Time-To-Live" of 24 hours before automatic localized purging.

AES_256_GCM: All off-chain storage layers utilize military-grade Advanced Encryption Standard with Galois/Counter Mode for authenticated encryption.

ASYMMETRIC_KEYS: Secure communication between the Polaris Terminal and the Liquidity Engine is signed using Ed25519 elliptic curve signatures.

NON_CUSTODIAL_DESIGN: Polaris never stores private keys. All cryptographic authorizations must be signed via the user's connected hardware or software wallet.

ZK_IDENTITY: Polaris utilizes Zero-Knowledge Proofs (zk-SNARKs) to verify creditworthiness without exposing the underlying financial history of the user.

SOLVENCY_ATTESTATION: Liquidity pool solvency is proven cryptographically on an hourly basis, ensuring transparency without leaking specific trade secrets or participant sizes.
