What we hold, and when it was last verified.
Frameworks Kled operates under and the third-party audits that stand behind them. Each row links to the underlying evidence — the same evidence procurement, legal, and regulators see.

F.A.Q.
If your team has a question we haven't covered, your account manager can answer it — and we'll add it here.
Is Kled GDPR-compliant?
Yes. Kled operates GDPR-compliant flows for all contributors with EU regional metadata, and exposes the operative TOS / privacy policy version on every receipt. EU contributors retain the right to revoke consent — visible on the lifecycle of the affected receipt.
How can a contributor revoke consent?
Through their Kled account at any time. Revocation produces a new lifecycle event on each affected receipt and removes the asset from active datasets. The receipt itself remains visible on Trace as a permanent audit record.
What sub-processors does Kled use?
Identity verification: Persona. Payments: USDC · Stripe Connect. Cloud infrastructure: AWS (eu-west-1, us-east-1). Public audit layer: Trace / The Data Foundation. A live sub-processor list is maintained in the disclosure PDF above.
Why is the audit trail on a separate, public layer?
Building an audit surface in-house creates a permanent target for accusations of bias. Trace is the impartial alternative — a public, onchain ledger that customers, regulators, and contributors all check on the same terms. Kled contributes receipts to it; we don't control its visibility.
How are sensitive metadata values handled?
Sensitive signals like EXIF, GPS, IP addresses, and device fingerprints stay in Kled's own systems. Trace stores existence flags — present or absent — never the values. This preserves the integrity signal labs need without making the audit layer a deanonymization tool.
Where can I see the underlying data?
Kled does not expose the underlying assets through this portal — receipts and consent posture only. Labs evaluating a dataset for licensing are given access through Kled's commercial channels.
