Foundational Principles
Project Aingeal is governed by a strict set of principles designed to protect individual autonomy, prevent misuse, and ensure lawful, ethical operation.
- User ownership and authority over all actions
- Explicit consent for any activity
- Transparency of purpose and scope
- Preservation of dignity and privacy
Non-Surveillance Doctrine
Project Aingeal is explicitly designed to avoid surveillance. It does not operate continuously, does not observe users passively, and does not collect information without direct user involvement.
- No background monitoring
- No covert observation
- No third-party tracking or analytics
- No data collection without user initiation
Scope Limitations
Governance rules define clear boundaries around what Project Aingeal does not attempt to do.
- No law enforcement or investigative authority
- No autonomous decision-making
- No enforcement, blocking, or intervention actions
- No monitoring of third-party systems
Ethical Intent
The ethical intent of Project Aingeal is to empower individuals with clarity and understanding, not to exert control over systems or people.
Governance mechanisms exist to ensure the system remains a civilian, user-controlled forensic instrument rather than a surveillance or control platform.
