Walrus approaches data privacy compliance by separating infrastructure from data responsibility. The protocol provides decentralized storage and availability guarantees, but it does not determine what data is uploaded or whether it contains personal information.
Compliance with regulations like GDPR is handled at the application layer. Developers are expected to encrypt personal data, manage access controls, and ensure lawful data handling before uploading anything to Walrus. Since Walrus stores opaque blobs rather than readable personal data, responsibility for consent, deletion requests, and data minimization remains with the application or data owner—not the protocol itself.@Walrus 🦭/acc #walrus $WAL
