User Privacy & Security

Exion Protocol is founded on three fundamental principles: minimizing data exposure, enforcing encryption by default, and empowering users with full control over their information.

• Local-First Processing: Wherever feasible, AI models operate directly on the user’s device. Natural language processing and other compute-heavy tasks run locally, ensuring that sensitive raw data rarely needs to leave the user’s handset or endpoint device. This approach reduces risk by limiting external data transmission.

• End-to-End Encryption: When data must be transmitted to the Bittensor subnet, it is protected using state-of-the-art cryptographic protocols. All information is encrypted end-to-end, so any intercepted communications appear as unintelligible ciphertext, safeguarding user privacy against eavesdropping.

• Zero-Knowledge Proof Validation: Certain workflows leverage zero-knowledge proofs, enabling the network to verify specific claims or computations without accessing the underlying private data. This technology enhances trust while preserving confidentiality.

• Strict Data Isolation: Every user’s environment is fully sandboxed and isolated. This “enclave” model ensures there is no possibility of cross-account data access, effectively eliminating risks of accidental data leaks or intentional breaches from other users or network participants.

• User-Directed Data Management: Through a comprehensive and intuitive dashboard, users maintain full sovereignty over their data. They can export, delete, or update stored information at any time and adjust privacy or sharing preferences without the need for support intervention. This self-service approach prioritizes transparency and control.
