# Legal & Compliance Framework

Sigma3 and GPT360 operate as **non-custodial software infrastructure**, not as financial intermediaries.

* **Utility Token Classification:** $G360 provides ecosystem access only.
* **KYC/KYB:** Mandatory via approved providers; exclusion of sanctioned entities.
* **Data Protection:** GDPR-aligned encryption and retention policy.
* **Non-Custodial Model:** GPT360 never holds or redirects investor funds; all operations are smart-contract based and on-chain verifiable.

This compliance architecture ensures regulatory safety while preserving decentralization and transparency.
