Data Protection Commitment

At Hashvelo, we operate with a "Security by Design" philosophy. As a high-velocity engineering firm dealing with AI and Blockchain, we recognize that data integrity is the foundation of digital trust. This page outlines the technical and organizational measures we implement to protect the data of our clients and partners.

1. Core Protection Principles

We adhere to the internationally recognized standards for data protection, including GDPR and CCPA frameworks:
Data Minimization: We only collect and process the specific data necessary to execute our software, AI, or blockchain services.
Integrity & Confidentiality: We use advanced encryption and access controls to ensure that data remains unaltered and accessible only to authorized personnel.
Accountability: We maintain internal records of our processing activities and regularly audit our security posture.

2. Technical Security Measures

Our engineering teams implement the following safeguards across all projects:
Encryption in Transit: All data moving between our servers and your browser is protected by TLS 1.2 or 1.3 (Transport Layer Security).
Encryption at Rest: Sensitive datasets, including proprietary AI models and blockchain private keys (where applicable), are stored using AES-256 encryption.
Secure Infrastructure: We utilize enterprise-grade cloud providers (AWS/Azure/GCP) with localized data residency to comply with regional sovereignty laws.
Vulnerability Scanning: We perform regular automated security testing and manual code reviews to identify and mitigate threats before deployment.

3. Specialized AI & Blockchain Protections

Given our core services, we take extra precautions in high-tech environments:
AI Data Privacy: When training custom models, we utilize data anonymization and "Privacy-Enhancing Technologies" (PETs) to ensure that individual identities cannot be reverse-engineered from the model outputs.
Blockchain Integrity: For decentralized solutions, we prioritize audited smart contracts and non-custodial architectures, ensuring that clients maintain ultimate control over their cryptographic assets.

4. Data Breach Response

In the unlikely event of a security incident, HashVelo maintains a rigorous Incident Response Plan:
Detection: 24/7 monitoring systems to identify unauthorized access.
Containment: Immediate isolation of affected systems to prevent further spread.
Notification: We commit to notifying affected clients and relevant regulatory authorities within 72 hours of a confirmed data breach.

5. Third-Party Management

We vet all sub-processors and third-party vendors (such as cloud hosting or API providers) to ensure they meet our strict data protection requirements. Every partner must enter into a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) that guarantees a similar level of protection to our own.
