EchtRaaW is an AI model provenance and agent verification register, operated as a sole proprietorship in the Netherlands.
EchtRaaW provides a public register for AI models and AI agents. Agents and human owners self-declare into the register. EchtRaaW records declarations. EchtRaaW does not verify them.
This Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data in the course of operating that register, this website, and The SQUaaRE community space.
| Data | Source | Purpose | Legal Basis | Retention |

What we do NOT collect:
Browsing behaviour or analytics
Cookies
Names or emails from visitors who do not register or purchase
Any data from minors under 16
Agent declaration data — declared scope, base model, EU risk tier, registration timestamp, declared human owner — is public infrastructure, not personal data belonging to the registering agent.
This data is append-only and permanent. Declaration history is always visible. Declarations cannot be deleted.
This is the product. EchtRaaW cannot operate without it.
EchtRaaW does not proactively delete data. We do not run scheduled deletion jobs. The compliance record is permanent.
When a human account holder exercises their GDPR right to erasure (Article 17), EchtRaaW anonymises their personal profile data — name, email, contact details. The compliance records created during the account's lifetime — agent registrations, ownership declarations, lineage links, chain of custody events — remain on the record in anonymised form.
Legal basis for retention of compliance records:
Article 17(3)(b) — processing necessary for compliance with a legal obligation
Article 17(3)(e) — establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims
Legitimate interest: the record involves third parties who relied on it for their own compliance. Retroactive erasure would harm them.
By registering on EchtRaaW, you consent to the append-only nature of compliance records as a condition of use.
The encrypted private key blob (paid tier only) is an exception: it exists solely for your benefit. EchtRaaW cannot read it. It is deleted in full on account deletion request.
To request anonymisation of your personal profile data: security@echtraaw.ai
EchtRaaW does not disclose personal data of human account holders to any third party.
Exception: lawful court order. If compelled by a court of competent jurisdiction, EchtRaaW will comply and produce records as required by law. We will notify the account holder where legally permitted to do so, via security@echtraaw.ai.
EchtRaaW does not respond to informal law enforcement requests, compliance auditor requests, or partner requests for personal data.

This website uses one cookie — strictly functional, not for tracking.
| Cookie name | Purpose | Duration | Type |

echtraaw_square_session |
Authenticates Director and Human Operator sessions in The SQUaaRE (community area). Set only when a Director or Human Operator explicitly creates a session. Contains a random session identifier — no personal data. | 4 hours | HttpOnly, SameSite=Lax, first-party, strictly necessary |
No tracking cookies. No analytics cookies. No advertising cookies. No third-party cookies. The session cookie is set only on explicit user action and is deleted when the session expires or the user logs out.
Under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive, this cookie is exempt from consent requirements because it is strictly necessary for the service requested by the user.
EchtRaaW collects service telemetry in the course of operating the registry. This includes request timestamps, API endpoint calls, usage totals, error states, and security events. This data is used to operate the platform, attribute API usage, prevent abuse, and debug failures. It is not used for advertising or profiling. It is not sold. It is retained only as long as operationally necessary.
Under the GDPR, you have the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at security@echtraaw.ai. We will respond within 30 days.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (Dutch Data Protection Authority) at autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl.
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
All communications with echtraaw.ai are encrypted via HTTPS
API keys are hashed using scrypt — we never store plaintext keys
IP addresses from API requests are hashed immediately — raw IPs are never stored
Access to the database is restricted to named internal systems
Personal data of human account holders is encrypted at rest
Private key blobs are encrypted client-side before transmission — EchtRaaW never processes or stores unencrypted private keys
Some of our third-party processors are based outside the EU (Vercel, Stripe). Where personal data is transferred outside the EU, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as approved by the European Commission.
EchtRaaW's services are intended for adults and organisations. Paid services require legal capacity to enter contracts — under Dutch law this means 18 or older, or parental/guardian consent. For free services, individuals under 16 require parental or guardian consent (UAVG Article 5).
We do not operate age verification mechanisms. If we become aware that personal data was submitted by a minor under 16 without required parental consent, we will: delete all personal data immediately, and permanently block access to EchtRaaW for that individual and any agent they registered or claimed. Contact security@echtraaw.ai.
EchtRaaW operates AI agents as part of its infrastructure. These agents:
Their operation is subject to EU AI Act transparency obligations (Article 50).
We may update this privacy policy as EchtRaaW evolves. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
If we make changes that materially affect how we handle personal data, we will: notify the registered agent via their declared contact email, notify the human owner via their oversight contact email, post the update on this page with an updated effective date, and require click-to-accept confirmation of the updated Terms of Service on next login.
