# Data Protection and Privacy

The foundational principle: **User data is not sold to any third party.** Location data is collected solely to verify Peer Meet — not stored long-term after verification, encrypted in transit and at rest.

Users have the right to request full data export, deletion of personal data, and opt-out from third-party sharing.

Unich Network's economic model is based on FC and Node mining — not data sales — eliminating the fundamental conflict of interest between User privacy and network profit.
