# IPDB Service - Privacy Policy
## Introduction
### Purpose
This Privacy Policy governs your use of the IPDB Sites and IPDB Service. The Privacy Policy describes the collection, storage, and use of personal information in your use of the IPDB Service.
### The IPDB Service is a Public Blockchain Database
The IPDB Service is a public blockchain database. This has two important privacy implications:
1) the **information recorded on it is public**, and
2) the **information recorded on it cannot be deleted**, not even by the IPDB Foundation or the Caretakers.
### Values
These values inform everything we do with personal information.
#### Privacy is a Human Right
We believe that privacy is a human right and is necessary for human flourishing.
#### Your Information is Yours
Your personal information belongs to you. We make no claim to it, except to use it as you allow us.
#### Minimize Collection
We collect and use as little information as possible while still providing the IPDB Service.
#### Minimize Retention
We only keep information for as long as is absolutely necessary for us to operate the IPDB Services or to comply with the law.
#### Clarity
We want this Privacy Policy to be easy to read and understand. If you have questions about what something means or suggestions for how to make something more clear, email us: privacy@ipdbfoundation.org.
### No Key Recovery
There is no way for us to help you recover or change your Key if you lose it. Guard it carefully!
*We cannot tell you how to keep your key safe, but *[LINK TO SUGGESTIONS FOR THIS].
### Definitions
The Privacy Policy is meant to be read together with the IPDB Service Terms, so capitalized terms mean the same as they do in the IPDB Service Terms.
### Sharing Information
Personal information will not be given to third parties except as set out below. Personal Information will never be given to advertisers.
## Using the IPDB Service
### Signing Up
You do not need to sign up to use the IPDB Service. You just need to create a Key to conduct Transactions.
### Making Transactions
Every Transaction you conduct on the IPDB Service is permanently associated with your Key on the IPDB Service.
### History of Transactions
The IPDB Service allows you to view a full history of any object on the IPDB Service and the Keys involved in any Transactions, right back to the Key that originally registered it.
This history is permanent and can never be changed or deleted, not even by the IPDB Foundation.
### Counting Transactions
The IPDB Foundation keeps track of the number of Transactions a given key is allowed to make.
### Purchasing Transactions
You may need to sign up to purchase additional Transactions if you use more than your free quota. You can purchase additional Transactions from the IPDB Foundation or from another entity that sells transactions (“Transaction Agent”).
If you purchase Transactions from another Transaction Agent, you will be subject to its privacy policy.
If you sign up to purchase Transactions from the IPDB Foundation, your purchase will be governed by the IPDB Foundation Store Privacy Policy.
## Transactions on the IPDB Service
*Note: The information in this section is a non-technical explanation of how and where information is stored in the IPDB Service. A thorough explanation of the workings of BigchainDB, the software behind the IPDB Service, is available in the [BigchainDB whitepaper](https://www.bigchaindb.com/whitepaper/)*.
### Caretaker Nodes
Each of the Caretakers in the IPDB Foundation operates a server (“Caretaker Node”) that checks each Transaction to see if it is valid. If a majority of the Caretaker Nodes agree the Transaction is valid, the Transaction is written to the IPDB Service.
There are two kinds of Caretaker Nodes:
- Hardware Nodes are operated by Caretakers in the Caretakers own facilities. Hardware Nodes are subject to this Privacy Policy.
- Cloud Nodes are operated on cloud service providers, including services from Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. Cloud Nodes are subject to the privacy policies of the companies hosting them as well as to this Privacy Policy.
### Data Storage
Caretaker Nodes also store the Transactions and all information associated with them.
The IPFS Service stores the Transactions sent by Users on at least [NUMBER] of Caretaker Nodes, for a replication factor of [X]. These Caretaker Nodes are [RANDOMLY SELECTED? HOW CHOSEN?].
Some of the Caretaker Nodes may be located outside of your jurisdiction. There are Caretaker Nodes in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Europe.
By using the IPDB Service, you consent to the IPDB Foundation and Caretakers storing the information you provide in your Transactions in places where Caretaker Nodes are located. You understand that the laws of those jurisdictions may apply to the information stored in those jursidiction.

### Aggregate Information
We may retain, share, or release publicly aggregate, non-personal, non-identifiable information on use of the IPDB Services.
## Legal
### Governing Law
The IPDB Foundation collects, processes, and uses personal information in accordance with the German *Telemediengesetz*, (“*Telemedia Act*”) and *Bundesdatenschutzgesetz* (“*Data Protection Act*”) or with your specific and express consent.
### Changes to the Privacy Policy
The IPDB Service may change over time as we add features, so there may be changes to the Privacy Policy as well. Changes to the Privacy Policy will be made in accordance with the process for changes to the IPDB Service Terms.
### Requests for Information
#### Responding to Requests
We respond to requests for information only if supported by valid legal process,such as a warrant or court order. If we receive a request for information, we will notify the subject of the request as soon as possible, if we have the ability to do so.
#### Transparency Report
If and when we receive a governmental request for information, we will begin producing a quarterly report providing as much information as possible on the number and nature of those requests.
#### Canary
We have never received a request for information from a governmental body. If that changes, we will remove this section.
### Requests for Takedowns
The nature of the IPDB Service means it is not possible to delete content that has been uploaded to it.

# IPDB Service - Terms of Service
## Introduction
### IPDB Foundation
The IPDB Service is operated by the IPDB Foundation e.V. (“IPDB Foundation”), an *Eingetragemer Verein* (or *e.V.*), a registered voluntary association in Germany. Learn more about the [IPDB Foundation](LINK).
[REGISTRATION INFORMATION]
### The IPDB Service
The IPDB Service is a blockchain database that allows Users to create, store, and transfer digital assets of any kind.
The IPDB Service is not a currency or a money transfer service. An object on the IPDB Service does not have any inherent market value. Rather, it represents the value assigned to it by Users.
### Application of the Terms
Use of the IPDB Service is subject to the terms set out on this page (“Terms”). If you use the IPDB Service, you are agreeing to be bound by the Terms.
You can only use the IPDB Service if you are able to form a contract with the IPDB Foundation and are not barred from doing so by any applicable law. If you are using the IPDB Service on behalf of an organization, you must have the legal authority to act for the organization.
Your agreement under these Terms is with the IPDB Foundation, and not with any of the Caretaker organizations.
### Changes to the Terms
The IPDB Foundation may change the Terms in accordance with the IPDB Foundations Rules and these Terms.
Changes to the Terms will be posted to the IPDB Foundation website for comment by the public. Based on this feedback, the IPDB Foundation can propose amendments to the changes or proceed with the proposed changes. After a 30 day comment period, the IPDB Foundation will vote on whether to implement the new Terms as proposed, to implement the new Terms with amendments, or continue with the previous Terms.
New Terms will apply from the date of the change. When there is a change, we will provide notice by email if you have signed up to receive our newsletter, and by posting a summary of the changes on the IPDB Foundation website and social media outlets.
Changes will become part of the Terms unless you object to their inclusion within three weeks of our sending notice of the change. If you do not accept the new Terms you must stop using the IPDB Service.
The Terms will always be available at [https://ipdbfoundation.org/terms](https://ipdbfoundation.org/terms), and can be saved or printed.
## IPDB Service
### Users
Individuals or organizations (“Users”) do not have to register to use the IPDB Service.
In individual User is identified by a unique public-private encryption key pair (“Key”), generated by the User.
### Transactions
A Transaction on the IPDB Service is one of a number of actions involving a digital object: registering the object, transferring the object, loaning or consigning the object, or sharing the object.
When a User sends a Transaction to the IPDB Service, the Caretaker Nodes check to ensure the User has permission to make that Transaction. If it is valid, it is permanently written to the IPDB Service.
Once a Transaction has been written to the IPDB Service, it is **permanent**. Each new Transaction is built on all of the previous Transactions. Therefore, Transactions cannot be deleted once they have been written, not even by the IPDB Foundation.
Users may make [NUMBER] Transactions each month for free. If a User needs more Transactions, the User may buy additional Transactions from the IPDB Foundation, or from any Transaction Agents approved by the IPDB Foundation.
### Security
The IPDB Service is based on strong encryption. This means that your content is very secure as long as you keep your private key secure. If only you have the key, then only you have the ability to create, transfer, or remove the content you own.
## Users Conduct
### Code of Conduct
Users Keys may be suspended if they violate the Code of Conduct. Users must not:
- Probe or scan systems or networks for vulnerabilities, except in accordance with our Security Research Best Practices.
- Access non-public areas of the IPDB Service, or access the IPDB Service by means other than officially supported interfaces.
- Send unsolicited communications or spam.
- Upload or distribute malware, adware, viruses, trojans, or other software designed to attack or subvert other Users systems.
- Publish materials that are fraudulent, misleading, or that infringes a third partys rights.
- Publish materials promoting violence or hatred against groups based on any identifiable characteristic, including gender, race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or other grounds.
- Violate the privacy of or defame others.
### Content of Transactions
While the *validity* of Transactions is verified by the Caretakers, the *content* of Transactions made by Users is not reviewed by the IPDB Foundation or Caretakers. It is each Users responsibility to ensure their Transactions on the IPDB Service are lawful and do not infringe third partys rights. Users are expected to follow applicable laws, including copyright, trademark, data protection laws, and laws governing permissible speech in that Users jurisdiction.
The IPDB Foundation is not able to remove content once it has been written to the IPDB Service. However, the IPDB Foundation may block Users ability to write further transactions to the IPDB Service if that User violates the Code of Conduct.
## Legal
### Jurisdiction and Law
The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies to these Terms. The general place of jurisdiction of the IPDB Foundation and the place of fulfilment is Berlin.

The IPDB Foundation may be liable for Users damage caused wilfully or through gross negligence on behalf of the IPDB Foundation.
Regardless of the degree of negligence, the IPDB Foundation may be liable for Users damage arising from injury of life, body or health, based on a breach of duty by the IPDB Foundation, for damage that arises where the IPDB Foundation has breached a duty that is of utmost importance for achieving the object of the contract, in case of wilful deceit, and for damage arising from the breach of a warranty assumed by the IPDB Foundation or from an organizational fault.
