Monolith Privacy Policy

 

Last Updated: December 9, 2025

Supplement to the Stability Privacy Statement

This MONOLITH Privacy Statement (“Statement”) provides additional privacy information that applies when you use MONOLITH. It should be read together with the Stability Privacy Statement (the “Base Privacy Statement”), which is incorporated herein by reference. To the extent this Statement conflicts with the Base Privacy Statement, this Statement shall prevail in relation to MONOLITH-specific processing activities.

1. Scope

This Statement applies to personal data processed when you use MONOLITH to:

 

  • fingerprint User Content by submitting Claims Data for anchoring to the Global Trust Network (“GTN”);

  • view or retrieve Anchored Data;

  • request a Corrective Anchor; or

  • otherwise interact with MONOLITH APIs, dashboards, verification interfaces, software, or other MONOLITH applications or services.

2. Definitions

Capitalized terms not defined here have the meaning assigned to them in the Base Privacy Statement or MONOLITH Terms of Use.

3. Roles and responsibilities

Before anchoring: In relation to User Content, Claims Data, and related submissions stored or processed within MONOLITH systems before anchoring, you are a data controller and Stability is a data processor, processing the data for your purposes and in accordance with your instructions to:

  • compute hashes or fingerprints;

  • create anchoring transactions, provide logs or verification outputs of transactions;

  • conduct similarity searches based on your User Content.

After anchoring: Anchored Data becomes part of the GTN, a public, decentralised, and immutable ledger. Stability has no greater inherent power than any other participant to add to, alter, delete, or otherwise interfere with Anchored Data, and cannot be considered a data controller or data processor in respect of the Anchored Data.

 

Corrective Anchors: Corrective Anchors must be submitted with verification and supporting documents such as identity documents and Court orders. Stability acts as a data controller in respect of the verification and supporting documents. Corrective Anchors, once published on the GTN, become part of the GTN. As with Anchored Data, Stability cannot be considered a data controller or data processor in respect of Corrective Anchors published on the GTN.

 

User responsibility: You are solely responsible for ensuring that Claims Data you submit, including any personal data, is lawful, accurate, and appropriate for permanent and public anchoring.

4. How and why we use personal data

In addition to the categories described in the Base Privacy Statement, MONOLITH processes personal data in the following ways:

What we collect

How we use

Purposes

Retention

Claims Data

Personal data may exist within Claims Data you submit. Examples include

  • names, identifiers, authorship or ownership claims or statements;
  • metadata or provenance assertions;
  • contextual descriptions

We may also collect and display metadata associated with anchoring requests, including:

  • hash values or fingerprints;
  • transaction identifiers and timestamps;
  • success or error states.
  • Hashing Claims Data;
  • Preparing and anchoring transactions to the GTN;
  • Providing confirmation records and audit logs.
  • Supporting GTN verification tools;
  • Returning metadata describing anchoring history

To provide the MONOLITH services

Stability retains Claims Data only for as long as necessary to:

  • compute required hashes or fingerprints;
  • prepare transactions for submission to the GTN;
  • provide confirmation logs;
  • troubleshoot or resolve operational issues.

Where technically feasible and permitted by law, Claims Data may be deleted after anchoring is complete. If you close your browser session before successfully anchoring Claims Data, the Claims Data will not be retained by Stability and you will need to re-submit it for anchoring.

Corrective Anchors

If you request a Corrective Anchor, we may collect:

  • identity verification information;
  • Court orders or directions;
  • supporting materials
  • Claims Data relating to the Corrective Anchor.
  • Evaluating basis for Corrective Anchor;
  • Publishing a Corrective Anchor to GTN;
  • Updating MONOLITH user interfaces to show that a record has been superseded.

To provide Corrective Anchors where appropriate

Corrective Anchors, once published on the GTN, remain permanently on the GTN and stored, replicated, or redistributed by independent network participants.


Corrective Anchor supporting documentation may be retained as required by law and for audit and compliance purposes.

Interaction Data

  

When you query or verify Anchored Data, we may collect:


  • lookup requests and timestamps;
  • device or API identifiers;
  • verification success or failure states
  • Troubleshooting issues and analysing performance
  • Understanding feature usage to improve the Services
  • Generating aggregated or de-identified statistics about use of the Services

To improve MONOLITH, introduce new features, optimize existing features, improve user experiences, troubleshoot bugs or issues, improve user journeys and work-flows, or for security and regulatory compliance purposes.

Interaction data may be retained for reasonable security, diagnostics, troubleshooting, fraud detection, compliance, and 

Similarity Searches

When you upload a file to conduct a similarity search, we may collect:

  • the file you have uploaded
  • metadata associated with the file, which may include personal data
  • To hash the file and metadata
  • Conduct similarity searching

To provide similarity searches

Stability may reasonably retain a log of recent similarity searches to provide the user with their search history but does not otherwise retain similarity search data.
 

Stability does not retain or store Anchored Data in a form that allows deletion or modification. Anchored Data remains permanently on the GTN and may be stored, replicated, or redistributed by independent network participants.

5. Disclosure of personal data

User Content and Claims Data is not disclosed to third parties except Stability service providers.

Anchored Data is publicly visible by design and may be accessed by third parties. Anyone may view Anchored Data on the GTN, replicate ledger data, and inspect transaction history.

 

Anchored Data is permanent and immutable. This means:

  • it cannot be altered, deleted, or corrected by Stability (except by way of a Corrective Anchor);

  • blockchain participants may independently copy and redistribute it;

  • rights such as deletion, rectification, or withdrawal of consent cannot be applied to Anchored Data.

Nothing in the Base Privacy Statement alters the fact that Anchored Data is not controlled by Stability, cannot be deleted or corrected, and may be accessed by the public.

Users must carefully review Claims Data before submission and should not include unnecessary or sensitive personal data unless they are legally permitted to do so.

Private data: Certain subscription tiers in MONOLITH may have a privacy option. Where privacy is enabled, the Anchored Data, including personal data, remains public due to the nature of the GTN, but is protected through encryption.

6. User Rights

Your rights described in Section 10 of the Stability Privacy Statement apply only to personal data that Stability controls, such as account information or pre-anchoring system logs. These rights do not apply to Anchored Data except for your right to data portability which is possible because Anchored Data is published on the GTN, a public blockchain, and therefore inherently accessible to all.

7. Cross-Border Data Transfers

Anchored Data is broadcast globally to GTN nodes, which may be located anywhere in the world. These transfers are inherent to public decentralised blockchain systems and cannot be restricted, reversed, or localised by Stability. You consent to such transfers when you submit Claims Data for anchoring.

8. Security

Users acknowledge that:

  • the GTN is a distributed public ledger operated by independent participants;

  • Anchored Data is outside Stability’s security perimeter;

  • Stability cannot ensure or control the security practices of third-party blockchain nodes.

You are responsible for ensuring the security of the devices and systems from which you use MONOLITH.

9. Changes to this Statement

We may update this Statement from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice by posting the updated Statement on our website, and/or sending you a notification through the Services or by email (where appropriate). Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of an updated Statement shall mean that you acknowledge and agree to the changes.
