Frequently Asked Questions
Can I take all my work if I leave?
Yes. Your INA ledger, communications, and contributions are yours. You can export them in standard formats.
What about organizational secrets?
Those remain with the organization. But your personal contributions, learnings, and reputation travel with you.
Can my employer block data access?
Only for legitimately confidential material (trade secrets, security). The Constitutional Review Board mediates disputes.
How does this affect security?
Actually improves it. Encryption, access controls, and auditing are built in from the start.
