Sovereign Data Model
Every organization owns its own data. ChannelForge facilitates collaboration — it does not centralize ownership. Sharing is explicit, auditable, and revocable.
Core Rules
Your Data Belongs to You
Vendor data belongs to the Vendor. Distributor data belongs to the Distributor. Reseller data belongs to the Reseller. Always.
View-Only by Default
When organizations collaborate, shared records are view-only by default. No one can edit, delete, or change ownership of another organization's data.
Explicit Sharing
Sharing must be intentional, permission-based, auditable, and revocable. There is no automatic or implicit data access.
GDPR-Aligned
Data classifications (Public, Shared, Confidential, Restricted, Personal Data) ensure GDPR-sensitive information is protected by default.

Contact Data Protection
Contacts are NOT shared by default. When shared with explicit approval, only Name, Job Title, Business Email, and Business Phone are visible. Internal notes, communication history, and personal data remain protected.
