Trust is an operating condition,
not a platform badge.
A governed data service makes location, authority, purpose, provider responsibility and evidence explicit before an event becomes an action.
Runtime controls support accountability; legal compliance still depends on the organisation, purpose, providers and applicable jurisdiction.
The trust model
Four questions must stay answerable while the operation runs.
The answers belong in deployment agreements, stream configurations and runtime evidence rather than being reconstructed after an incident or audit.
Location
Record where the runtime, data, state, evidence and external services operate.
Authority
Define which person, system, provider or agent may propose, approve and execute each action.
Policy
Evaluate purpose, consent, identity and permitted use before the configured outcome runs.
Evidence
Retain the relevant input, context, configuration version, decision and delivery result.
Trust pages
Explore privacy, AI governance, sovereignty, consent and interoperable identity as runtime responsibilities.
These pages explain distinct trust questions without implying that Datastreams replaces legal assessment or regulated service providers.
Responsibility boundary
Datastreams operates the configured runtime boundary.
The customer retains business authority. Identity issuers, trust services, payment providers and infrastructure operators retain their own contractual and regulatory responsibilities.
party → purpose → permission → provider → action → evidence
A provider can be replaced where standards, contracts and policy allow it. The required outcome and authority boundary remain part of the governed stream.
