			=== Legal compliance: GDPR, eIDAS 2.0 and beyond ===

			This research direction '''is intended to''' be developed in line with applicable data-protection and digital-identity law, not against it.

			* '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation GDPR]''' (EU General Data Protection Regulation). The principles described above (data minimisation, private-by-default, user consent, purpose limitation, the right to access and erase one's data) are meant to align with GDPR rather than merely tolerate it. Anonymized statistics '''are intended to''' rely on genuinely de-identified data so that they fall outside the scope of personal data.
			* '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EIDAS eIDAS 2.0]''' (the EU regulation framing digital identity, including the European Digital Identity Wallet). The decentralised-identity work '''aims at''' staying compatible with this emerging framework, so that verifiable credentials and self-presented qualifications could interoperate with officially recognised digital identity where relevant.

			These are stated as '''design intentions and starting hypotheses''', to be confirmed with legal counsel as the project matures. Compatibility with other national and sector-specific legislation '''is intended to''' be assessed case by case.

	=== Data governance: future hypotheses ===		=== Data governance: future hypotheses ===

	The following is an '''initial hypothesis''' ~~about digital socio-politics, offered as a projection of possible results in the event of large-scale deployment~~, not as a roadmap.		The following is an '''initial hypothesis''', not a roadmap.

	If WikiDeal were deployed widely, data governance might generate broad tendencies within the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Rings Of Trust\|Rings of Trust]]. It is possible that these tendencies would become a new form of political positioning, much as we have left and right, or conservatism and progressivism. In matters of data workflow, society might one day see, for instance, "libertarians" (favouring maximum user freedom) and "protectors" (favouring stronger built-in safeguards).

	Within such a spectrum, it is possible (not certain, and not "will be") that hosting and advertising choices would also become selectable, for example free hosting with advertising, paid hosting without advertising, and community-defined options in between. The guiding ~~hypothesis~~ is ~~that~~ protection ~~would be~~ complete by default, and ~~that~~ users could then choose to ~~reduce some protections~~ in exchange for advantages ~~offered by commercial groups~~ under citizen supervision. The point ~~would be~~ choice, with no single data ~~or advertising~~ regime imposed on everyone.		The guiding idea is simple: '''protection is complete by default''', and users could then choose, transaction by transaction, to share more in exchange for specific advantages, always under citizen supervision. The point is user choice, with no single data regime imposed on everyone. How this choice would be organised in practice is left open, to be defined later in a participative way as the project matures.

	The architecture WikiDeal '''is exploring''' is local-first: wherever possible, data would be stored on users' own devices, and only the minimum necessary information would be transmitted to shared Infrastructure. As an initial hypothesis, a babysitting agreement signed by both parties would live on the devices of the family and the babysitter, while the platform Infrastructure would hold only a cryptographic proof that the agreement was signed, not its content, unless both parties consent to shared storage.
