4. How We Store and Protect Information

These services have their own privacy policies.

We ensure all third parties meet industry-standard privacy and security practices.

ARCX is a decentralized protocol. When you choose to store data on the network:

 

• Your data is encrypted client-side

• You control your keys

• No one, including ARCX, can decrypt or access your files

• Data persists on distributed nodes beyond our control

 

By using the protocol, you acknowledge the decentralized and immutable nature of blockchain systems.

 

 

7. Your Rights

 

Depending on your jurisdiction (including GDPR & LGPD), you may have the right to:

 

• Access your data
