What We Will Never Do
This page exists to be explicit.
TrustEmporium is designed as neutral infrastructure. To preserve that neutrality, safety, and long-term viability, there are things this system will never become — regardless of pressure, demand, or opportunity.
TrustEmporium will never:
- Score or rate people
- Assign reputations or labels
- Recommend actions or decisions
- Enforce outcomes of any kind
- Notify individuals about searches or records
- Publish detailed records publicly
- Summarize or translate reports into judgments
- Predict behavior, risk, or intent
- Approve, block, or reject transactions
- Act as an authority over businesses or individuals
What this means in practice
Records in TrustEmporium exist as reported by individual businesses and are preserved without alteration or deletion.
Access is pull-based and limited by role and authorization. TrustEmporium does not verify reports, interpret meaning, or decide outcomes.
Any interpretation, automation, or decision logic is defined and executed entirely by businesses using their own systems, software, or plugins.
Our commitment
If a proposed feature, integration, or use case requires TrustEmporium to judge, score, recommend, or enforce, it does not belong in this system.
This commitment is permanent.
TrustEmporium provides neutral infrastructure only. Responsibility for interpretation and decisions always remains with the business using the system.
