# Privacy Policy

At **Decontext**, your privacy is not just respected — it’s fundamentally architected into the system. As a decentralized protocol, **Decontext does not collect, store, or process any personal data** unless explicitly provided through user interaction with integrated applications.

***

### 1. 🔄 Data Collection

**Decontext does not collect:**

* Personal identifiers (name, email, IP address)
* Device or location data
* Off-chain usage logs

All interactions occur on-chain or via user-controlled interfaces such as wallets or agents.

However, third-party dApps or agents using Decontext may:

* Store user-inputted metadata (e.g., context values)
* Request permissions to access wallet or context modules

> These third-party applications are responsible for their own data practices.

***

### 2. 🧠 Context Data

Context entries (e.g., `user.reputation`, `dao.activity`) are:

* **Publicly verifiable** when published to chain
* **Fully owned by the user**
* **Permissioned** via the DMCP protocol (only authorized parties can update)

No personal identifiers are ever required to interact with context modules.

***

### 3. 🔐 Zero-Custody Guarantee

Decontext:

* Does **not hold** any user private keys
* Does **not track** or profile users
* Ensures full **data sovereignty** via cryptographic signatures

***

### 4. 🛡️ ZK Context (Future Upgrade)

For sensitive use cases, Decontext will support **Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs)**, enabling users to prove facts about their context (e.g., score thresholds, activity patterns) without revealing the underlying data.

This ensures privacy **without compromising verifiability**.

***

### 5. 🔗 Third-Party Links

This documentation and ecosystem may reference third-party tools, SDKs, and applications. Please review their privacy policies individually, as Decontext does not control their behavior.

***

### 🔚 Summary

Decontext is built to respect **user sovereignty, transparency, and trustlessness**. Privacy is not added as an afterthought — it's embedded into the protocol design.

> You own your data. We simply make it composable.
