Data Sovereignty and Cryptographic Erasure
BSP is built on the principle that the individual holds absolute sovereignty over their biological data.
Immutability and erasure: BioRecords stored on Arweave are immutable to ensure data integrity. This immutability protects the individual — no institution can alter biological records without consent. The individual retains the right to render all their data permanently inaccessible through Sovereign Cryptographic Erasure — destroying their Ed25519 private key makes all associated data unreadable and functionally erased.
No data hostage: The Ambrósio Institute cannot access, recover, or reconstruct any BEO holder's data without their private key. If a user destroys their key, the data is irrecoverable by any party, including the Institute.
Compliance: This cryptographic erasure mechanism satisfies the requirements of GDPR Article 17 (Right to Erasure) and LGPD Article 18 (Right to Deletion). Rendering data permanently inaccessible and unusable is functionally equivalent to deletion under both frameworks.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of Brazil.
