1. Bluenumber - When you register on the Sourcery Connect Platform application you will get a Bluenumber (B#). This is a unique digital identity called Self-Sovereign Identification (SSID). This SSID links your mobile phone number with your location to verify your identity. Learn more here or visit Bluenumber (B#).

2. Partner Data Vault (PDV) - Your Bluenumber creates a Partner Data Vault (PDV) which encrypts and stores your data on the blockchain. Your Bluenumber is your unique key to access and control data in your PDV. Only you have access to the data stored in your PDV via registered Bluenumber devices. Learn more here.


3. Data Sovereignty - Sourcery is committed to protecting your data. All users of Sourcery Connect, including you, must respect the Data Sovereignty Policy. As the ‘data originator’ and primary subject of the data that you create directly using Sourcery Connect or is created on your behalf (field staff, auditor, verifier, Sourcery, etc.), you always own and control all data (including documents, images, etc.) that is created within or uploaded to the Sourcery Connect. This data will also be stored in your PDV. Learn more here.


4. Data Licensing - Sourcery may market, broker, license and sell the data on your behalf by providing us exclusive permission through this User Agreement.  All data is aggregated and anonymized and sold via non-fungible digital assets called Bluechips that represent select data stored in your PDV. If any personal information (name, phone, location, contact info, etc) is requested, you will be notified directly on a case-by-case basis by Sourcery directly seeking additional approval to license and sell personal information to ensure you control and own your personal information. Learn more here.


5. Data Monetization Policy - Your data may only be sold via the Bluechip Exchange, our secure data marketplace. Any royalties and proceeds from licensing your data are transferred only to your mobile wallet on the Sourcery Connect device registered under your Bluenumber. Your data will never be shared or sold directly outside of the Bluechip Exchange without your permission. All royalties are paid in BluePoints which can be transferred to other Sourcery Users or transferred into local currency to your bank verified bank account only. Learn more here.

6. Blockchain - All data stored on you PDV immutable. This means it cannot be altered or deleted by you, Sourcery, Bluenumber, or any other party. If you choose to deactivate your account, access to your PDV and its data will be completely blocked—including by you. Upon deactivation, Sourcery and Bluenumber will delete any data stored locally on your device and any data that is not encrypted on your PDV at the time of deactivation. If any of your data is under an active third-party license at the time of deactivation, access to the data will continue for a 180 days or at the end of the license term—whichever is first. Learn more here.
