1. NATURE OF THE SERVICE

Gowst operates as a cutting-edge technological platform specialized in the protection and management of personal data, designed to revolutionize the way individuals control their digital identity in the internet ecosystem.

Our technology acts as a fortified digital vault that centralizes, protects and manages sensitive personal information, implementing military-grade encryption protocols and granular control systems that return data sovereignty to their true owners: our users.

Fundamental Mission: To create a digital ecosystem where privacy is not an exception, but the rule, and where every user has absolute control over their digital footprint.

2. PROTECTION ARCHITECTURE AND FUNCTIONALITIES

Comprehensive Digital Vault System:

A. Secure Storage Vault: We implement enterprise-grade infrastructure with AES-256 encryption and advanced key management to create an impenetrable repository where users can securely store all their personal information, from basic identity data to demographic information and personal preferences.

B. Intelligent Prefill Engine: Our revolutionary technology enables automatic and secure filling of forms on third-party websites, eliminating the need to repeatedly enter personal information while maintaining total control over what data is shared and under what circumstances.

C. Total Traceability System: Every piece of data that leaves the vault is recorded in an immutable traceability system that allows users to visualize exactly where, when and how their information has been used, creating an unprecedented “transparent digital footprint”.

D. Granular Permission Control: Users can establish specific rules about what information can be shared with which third parties, under what conditions and for what periods, creating a permission system as detailed as each user requires.

3. CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK AND SPECIALIZED DEFINITIONS

Digital Vault: Encrypted and secure repository where personal information is stored with security protocols equivalent to high-security banking systems.

Data Obfuscation: Technical process through which sensitive information is masked to protect the user’s identity while maintaining required functionality.

Secure Prefill: Technology that allows automatic completion of forms on third-party sites using information stored in the vault, without unnecessarily exposing data.

Transparent Digital Footprint: Complete and auditable record of all uses, accesses and sharing of user’s personal data.
