Applies to

  • All third-party organisations onboarded to the platform
  • Community advisory participants
  • Interoperating KERI ecosystems and cross-signing arrangements

Jurisdictions

  • Hong Kong (PDPO, IRD s.88)
  • United Kingdom (UK GDPR, DPA 2018)
  • European Union (GDPR)
  • Singapore (PDPA)
  • Australia (Privacy Act 1988)
  • Japan (APPI)
  • Wider APAC per country taxonomy

How this is applied in-product

  • Admin verification and Veraf.ai gating on onboarding
  • Written partnership agreements before any commercial engagement
  • Interoperability agreements before any cross-ecosystem credential issuance

1. Charity Onboarding and Verification

Charities self-declare status during onboarding, upload registration and licence evidence and undergo admin verification. Higher trust tiers require additional evidence such as audited accounts or IRD s.88 status.

2. Corporate Partner Agreements

  • Standard master agreement with data protection, brand use and anti-bribery clauses.
  • Enhanced due diligence for partners in higher-risk sectors or jurisdictions.
  • Annual relationship review and renewal.

3. Community and Participant Voice

  • Structured feedback channels (surveys, town halls) at least twice per year.
  • A rotating community advisory panel provides non-binding input on product and policy changes.
  • Public roadmap items open for comment for at least 14 days before Board decision.

4. KERI Interoperability

  • Interoperating ecosystems must publish a compatible verification specification.
  • Cross-signing or credential re-issuance requires a written interoperability agreement and Trust and Verification Committee approval.
  • Suspected compromise in a partner ecosystem triggers immediate isolation and dispute triage.
