| # Compliance & Ethical Framework |
|
|
| Aegis-Graph operates at the intersection of global privacy law and academic integrity. This chapter outlines our commitment to **Privacy-by-Design** and institutional compliance. |
|
|
| ## 🛡️ Global Privacy Compliance |
|
|
| The Aegis-Graph protocol is engineered to exceed the requirements of global data protection regulations, including **GDPR (EU)**, **CCPA (USA)**, and **PIPL (China)**. |
|
|
| ### Zero-Knowledge Evidence (ZKE) |
| The core of our compliance is the ZKE model. We do not store: |
| * Student Names or Birthdates. |
| * Government Identification Numbers. |
| * Full Academic Transcripts. |
|
|
| Instead, the system generates a **Boolean Proof (True/False)** based on a localized, ephemeral analysis of these documents. |
|

|
| ## 🏛️ Institutional Accreditation |
|
|
| Aegis-Graph supports the standards set by global accreditation bodies. Our **Sovereign Academic Graph (SAG)** is audited against: |
| * **CHEA (USA)** standards for institutional recognition. |
| * **ENIC-NARIC (EU)** frameworks for cross-border qualification recognition. |
| * **ROR (Global)** organizational identity standards. |

|
| ## ⚖️ Ethical Auditing |
|
|
| We recognize the potential impact of an audit verdict on an individual's career and reputation. To ensure fairness: |
| 1. **Transparency**: Every audit comes with a human-readable "Reasoning Trail" explaining the verdict. |
| 2. **Appeals Process**: Institutions can submit additional "Institutional Proofs" to update or correct node metadata in the SAG. |
| 3. **Bias Mitigation**: Our MARS agents are trained on diverse global datasets to prevent regional or institutional bias. |
