Data Handling Certificate

This certificate provides a verifiable record of how client data was handled during this engagement. Every event is cryptographically chained — altering any record invalidates the entire chain. The chain tip is anchored to the Bitcoin blockchain via OpenTimestamps, providing independently verifiable proof of when these events occurred.

Independent Verification

To independently verify this certificate:

  1. Obtain the audit trail JSON file and .ots proof file from Polaris Intelligence
  2. Verify the hash chain: recompute SHA-256 hashes from event data and confirm each event's hash matches
  3. Verify the Bitcoin timestamp: use ots verify (opentimestamps.org) to confirm the audit trail was anchored to the Bitcoin blockchain at the stated time
  4. The audit trail JSON file must not have been modified since stamping — any change to the file will cause OTS verification to fail
