04Respect for your personal data

Your data matters. So does how we build.

Personal information is not just another field in a database. It represents real people, their identities and their trust. That is why we introduced blockchain into AVATUS’s account-data architecture. Our purpose is practical: make the handling of personal identity information a deliberate part of how the platform is built, rather than an afterthought.

Blockchain with a purpose.

Blockchain with a purpose

A private network, not a public ledger.

AVATUS uses Hyperledger Fabric, a private, permissioned blockchain. Participation requires a registered identity, unlike an open blockchain that anyone can join. This distinction matters. Our account-information system is not an invitation for the public to browse users’ personal details. The blockchain network has defined participants and a dedicated role within AVATUS’s infrastructure.

Identity information has its own role.

Information used to operate an account serves a different purpose from what someone chooses to share publicly. Our blockchain integration handles account identity information as part of an architecture that also includes conventional application systems. The design distinguishes between personal account details and the profile and content through which people participate in AVATUS. We chose this approach because building a social platform also means thinking carefully about the information behind each account, not only the experience on screen.

Our approach

Technology with responsibility.

Blockchain is one part of our approach, not a substitute for responsible data handling. AVATUS manages this permissioned network and its blockchain identities as part of operating the service. For us, respecting personal data means being deliberate about the architecture and honest about what it does. That is the purpose behind our use of blockchain: technology chosen to support a privacy-conscious social experience.
