# Security & Privacy Notes

<figure><img src="/files/tEilmr0eOWPXswL2HnF7" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### **Equinox AI is committed to balancing intelligence delivery with strict respect for user privacy and systemic security. The architecture has been designed with core principles of auditability, transparency, data sovereignty, and user control.**

***

#### Privacy-by-Design Principles

* No data scraping from gated/private sources
* Social enrichment is limited to publicly visible metadata
* All opt-out requests are irreversible and cryptographically timestamped
* Telegram and X user-linking is performed using heuristic, not deterministic, logic

***

#### System-Level Security

* Internal APIs rate-limited and non-public by default
* Enrichment modules sandboxed and isolated by source type
* Automated monitoring for misuse, excessive scanning, or pattern abuse
* Future plans for zero-knowledge implementation in signal delivery pipelines

***

#### Responsible Intelligence Ethics

Equinox is not a surveillance system. We provide accessible behavioural data intelligence with respect for consent boundaries. Users and protocols interacting with our tools are required to respect our Terms of Use and uphold privacy-safe applications of the data.

***

#### Additional User Controls&#x20;

| Feature                         | Status   |
| ------------------------------- | -------- |
| E-Mask opt-out burn             | Upcoming |
| Opt-out weekly slots            | Upcoming |
| Consent-based enrichment embeds | Planned  |
| Staked access with limits       | Planned  |

**We are designing infrastructure for trust. Security audits, transparency reports, and privacy logs will be published alongside future infrastructure releases.**

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://equinoxai.gitbook.io/equinox-ai-whitepaper/compliance-and-vision/security-and-privacy-notes.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
