The PCN is an open network of entertainment industry creators, actors, lawyers, accountants, and all industry professionals united to protect their intellectual property and capitalize on these IP assets. At its core, the PCN allows members to build Portfolio Collections where works— from screenplays to ledgers to chain-of-titles, and more —are hashed, Merkle-tree verified, digitally signed by the creator, and timestamped by Sectigo resulting in irrefutable Proof of Authorship & Anteriority.
For the ultimate level of security & trust, members and industry organizations can upgrade to our permissioned Hyperledger Fabric blockchain. Verified members earn the "Puddingify: Verified Trust" shield, signaling that their identity and assets—including critical ISRC royalty data—are anchored by Puddingify: The Root of Trust and Identity for the Entertainment Economy.

Community & Legal
Puddingify takes data security seriously. Our blockchain network is built with multiple layers of protection that meet GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) requirements:
🔐 Encryption in Transit (TLS) & At Rest
All data moving between our servers is encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security) — the same technology banks use. Data stored on our servers is encrypted even when not in use.
🛡️ Access Control & Network Security
- SSH Key-Only Access: Passwords are disabled; only authorized administrators with digital keys can access systems.
- Firewalls: Each server only allows connections from verified Puddingify network members.
- Audit Logging: All access and activity is continuously monitored and logged.
🏢 Multi-Organization Architecture
Our Hyperledger Fabric blockchain network consists of four independent organizations, ensuring no single party has complete control:
- Puddingify (Master Node)
- Amazing PRO, LLC
- Jones Entertainment Law
- Writers Guild
✅ Summary of Security Measures
| Protection Layer | Status |
|---|---|
| Data Encryption (In Transit) | ✅ Enabled |
| Data Encryption (At Rest) | ✅ Enabled |
| Firewall Protection | ✅ Active |
| SSH Key-Only Access | ✅ Enforced |
| Security Audit Logging | ✅ Active on all nodes |
| Multi-Org Verification | ✅ 4 independent nodes |
🔗 Blockchain Data Architecture (Right to Erasure)
GDPR Right to Erasure (Article 17) requires that personal data be deletable. We use Private Data Collections to separate sensitive personal info from the immutable public ledger.
- Private Collection: Stores Personal Information and X.509 Certificates. (Deletable ✅)
- Public Ledger: Stores only Hashes & UUIDs. (Immutable 🔒)
The Deletion Process:
- Request Logged: Your deletion request is recorded with a timestamp.
- Data Purged: All personal information is permanently deleted from private collections.
- Verification: The public ledger retains only an anonymized record showing that data was properly deleted.
🔐 Private Data Access Controls
| Data Collection | Who Can Read | Who Can Write |
|---|---|---|
| Identity PII | All 4 verification partners | Puddingify only |
| X.509 Certificates | Puddingify only | Puddingify only |
| Deletion Audit Trail | Puddingify only | Puddingify only |
✅ Summary: Chaincode GDPR Compliance
| GDPR Requirement | How Puddingify Complies |
|---|---|
| Right to Erasure (Art. 17) | Private data collections allow deletion |
| Data Minimization (Art. 5) | Public ledger stores only hashes, no PII |
| Purpose Limitation (Art. 5) | Separate collections for different purposes |
| Accountability (Art. 5) | Immutable audit trail of all operations |
| Access Control (Art. 32) | Cryptographic policies control who sees what |
Yes, you can delete your account at any time. Puddingify respects your right to data deletion under GDPR and PIPEDA regulations. However, because your identity and creative works are registered on a blockchain network, please read carefully to understand what deletion means.
🕐 The 96-Hour Cooling Off Period
When you request account deletion, there is a 96-hour (4-day) waiting period before your data is permanently removed. During this time:
- You can cancel the deletion request at any time
- Your account remains accessible but marked as "Pending Deletion"
- You can download your portfolio data and certificates
- After 96 hours, deletion is automatic and irreversible
✅ What Gets Permanently Deleted
| Data Type | Action |
|---|---|
| Your name and email address | 🗑️ Permanently Deleted |
| Your alias/username | 🗑️ Permanently Deleted |
| Your X.509 identity certificate | 🗑️ Permanently Deleted |
| Your login credentials | 🗑️ Permanently Deleted |
| Your profile information | 🗑️ Permanently Deleted |
| Draft portfolios (not on blockchain) | 🗑️ Permanently Deleted |
🔒 What Gets Anonymized (Preserved for Legal Protection)
Certain records cannot be fully deleted because they serve as legal proof of your creative works. Instead, they are anonymized — your personal information is removed but the record remains:
| Record Type | What Remains | Why It's Preserved |
|---|---|---|
| Committed Portfolio Hashes | Hash + Timestamp only | Proves your work existed at a specific date (copyright protection) |
| ISRC Registrations | ISRC code + Registration date | Required for royalty tracking |
| Asset Transfers | Transfer record (anonymized parties) | Legal proof of ownership changes |
| Contracts/Agreements | Document hash + Signatures | Legal validity of agreements |
Note: Anonymized records show "DELETED_USER" instead of your name. No one can identify you from these records.
🚫 Your Email and Alias Cannot Be Reused
To prevent identity confusion and potential fraud, your email address and alias are permanently retired after deletion. If you wish to rejoin Puddingify in the future, you must register with a different email and create a new alias.
📋 What YOU Must Do After Deletion
Puddingify can only delete data within our platform. If you registered your works with external organizations, you must contact them directly:
| If You Registered With... | Contact | Action Required |
|---|---|---|
| ASCAP | ascap.com | Request membership termination |
| BMI | bmi.com | Request account closure |
| SESAC | sesac.com | Request membership termination |
| SoundExchange | soundexchange.com | Request account closure |
| Harry Fox Agency | harryfox.com | Request mechanical rights removal |

Important: Puddingify recorded your registrations with these organizations but does not control their databases. Your ISRC codes and IPI numbers remain active with these CMOs/PROs until you request removal directly.
📧 Confirmation You Will Receive
After your account is deleted, you will receive a final email containing:
- Confirmation of deletion with timestamp
- Blockchain transaction ID (proof of GDPR compliance)

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Deletion
Q: Can I get my account back after deletion?
A: No. Deletion is permanent and irreversible. You would need to create a completely new account with a different email.
Q: Will my copyrights be affected?
A: No. Your copyright ownership exists independently of Puddingify. The anonymized blockchain records actually help protect your copyrights by providing timestamped proof that your work existed.
Q: What if I have pending transfers or contracts?
A: You must complete or cancel all pending transactions before deletion. The system will not allow deletion while contracts are awaiting signatures.
Q: What if someone disputes my work after I delete my account?
A: The blockchain hash and timestamp remain as proof. You can request a "Verification Letter" from Puddingify (for a fee) that confirms the anonymized record belongs to you, using your deletion confirmation email as proof of identity.
Q: How long does Puddingify keep the deletion audit trail?
A: Deletion request records are kept for 2-3 years (approximately 100,000 blockchain blocks) to demonstrate GDPR compliance, then automatically purged.
