+## Data Governance
+
+### Exclusion / Takedown Mechanism
+SignVerse-2M indexes all samples strictly by `video_id` and does not re-host 
+or redistribute original video content. If a source video is deleted or made 
+private by its creator, no copy exists in our release to propagate — access 
+to any derived content tied to that `video_id` is automatically severed.
+
+Creators may additionally request explicit removal of their corresponding 
+pose data by contacting [issue link](https://huggingface.co/datasets/SignerX/SignVerse-2M/discussions). Verified 
+removal requests will be processed within [X] business days, and an exclusion 
+log will be maintained and version-tracked alongside future dataset releases.
+
+### Face-Landmark-Excluded Variant
+For downstream applications that do not require facial keypoints, a variant 
+of the dataset with facial landmarks excluded is available at link, 
+reducing the identity-bearing channels retained in the released data.
