HCS-19: A New Privacy Standard for AI Agents
· 4 min read
TL;DR
Hashgraph Online has published a draft standard called HCS-19: AI Agent Privacy Compliance, designed to help AI agents prove they handle user data responsibly. The standard defines how to log consent, privacy notices, data processing, rights requests, and audits on Hedera Consensus Service (HCS), making compliance transparent, verifiable, and interoperable.
Leading the effort is PrivacyCheq's aiCheq, an API that allows AI agents to collect, manage, and prove consent in real time, supported by Hedera-based auditing. Together, HCS-19 and aiCheq establish the foundation for trustworthy, privacy-aware AI.
