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 oto GDPR-compliant?

    Yes. oto 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 oto 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 oto 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. oto 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 oto'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?

    oto does not expose the underlying assets through this portal — receipts and consent posture only. Labs evaluating a dataset for licensing are given access through oto's commercial channels.
