According to the developers, thanks to the new solution, companies can process personal data only after obtaining their explicit consent.

The platform can support end-to-end encryption and to protect against data loss”, — noted in the Bitfury Group.
In this case the user information and the encryption keys will be deleted after the valid storage period.
In addition, the system will enable companies to implement an interface that will allow users to confirm the fact that store their data using a cryptographic proof.
