About This Project

Build a regulator-facing and consumer-facing data provenance ledger for data brokers. The system would not expose every raw attribute publicly; it would require registered brokers to report standardized categories of data held, source classes, acquisition dates, buyer categories, retention rules, deletion status, dispute outcomes, and sensitive-data flags. The citizen sees the outline of the shadow profile and its chain of custody; regulators see enough audit data to identify noncompliance, circular resale, and brokers that turn deletion into paperwork theater.
