13. Legal & Compliance
WalletTag is designed to be privacy-respecting, regulation-aware, and globally usable — with a clear separation between reputation tagging, risk scoring, and identity verification.
The system prioritises data minimisation, transparency, and modular compliance, ensuring that users and platforms can adopt WalletTag without sacrificing security or regulatory integrity.
Privacy & Data Handling
WalletTag does not collect personal data by default
All risk scores and tags are derived from public, on-chain behaviour analysed via machine learning
Identity verification (e.g. for Verified tags) is handled off-chain by third-party KYC providers
KYC data is only accessible upon legal request (e.g. law enforcement) and never shared publicly
Trademark Verification & Domain Tagging
Requires submission of official IP documentation (e.g. WIPO, USPTO, EUIPO)
Evidence is manually reviewed or verified by an approved partner
WalletTag does not act as arbiter — it reflects verified ownership status and dispute outcomes without bias
Dispute Resolution
Neutral, structured process with logged evidence and tag changes
Optional escalation path via third-party arbitration or DAO-based governance
All tag assignments and changes are fully transparent and auditable
Designed to support fair handling of brand conflicts, impersonation, or fraud
Global Compliance & KYC Flexibility
Modular KYC integration allows platforms to enable verification where required
Platforms can enforce their own rules based on WalletTag signals and user status
Aligned with privacy-first principles, GDPR, and Web3 identity standards
The $TAG token (future phase) is intended for utility purposes only, not for speculative or security-based use
WalletTag is not a judge, regulator, or enforcement body — it provides risk intelligence, tagging infrastructure, and optional verification tooling to help Web3 participants build safer ecosystems.
