Your data now trains machines that judge you
What you can demand back depends entirely on where you live, and a company’s privacy or AI certificate often promises far less than it appears to. This is the record of what the law really gives you. Every claim names its source, the day we checked it, and the day it expires.

Project Riversong.
001 / The name
Project Riversong
In the Appalachians, people set stones into a streambed so the water would break over them and sing. The sound carried further than the water could be seen, and anyone walking the hills could hear where the stream ran and follow it out.
The stones did not move the river. They made it audible, and they were placed by people who had already walked that ground, for the benefit of whoever came next.
That is what this is. The law is the stream. It runs whether or not you can follow it. Every row here is a stone set on purpose: a provision, what a certification does under it, who checked, when, and when the claim runs out. Enough for the next person to hear where the law actually goes, and to take the right path through it.

One sentence of law means one thing to the person it protects, another to the company it binds, and another to the regulator enforcing it. Each has its own handbook; pick the one closest to you.
