Compliance Basis

Lens security compliance is based on the C2PA Security Considerations v2.2 and C2PA Harms Modelling v2.2 specifications. These documents provide the foundational framework for our security architecture, threat modeling, and harm mitigation strategies.

Primary References:

C2PA Security Considerations v2.2 — Threat model, security features, and implementation guidance
C2PA Harms Modelling v2.2 — Human rights considerations, misuse scenarios, and stakeholder guidance

All security controls, threat mitigations, and privacy protections documented on this page align with the guidance and recommendations provided in these C2PA specifications.

Security Architecture

Lens follows a defense-in-depth security model with multiple layers of protection.

✓Hardware-backed security via iOS Secure Enclave

✓Zero-trust architecture for all data access

✓Privacy by design in all features

✓Minimal data collection principle

✓End-to-end encryption for sensitive operations

Security Layers

Keychain Services	iOS Keychain for credential storage	Active
App Sandboxing	iOS App Sandbox isolation	Active
Code Signing	Apple Developer certificate validation	Active
Runtime Protection	ASLR, stack canaries, code signing	Active

2. Data Protection

Control	Implementation	Status
Encryption at Rest	iOS Data Protection API (Class A)	Active
Encryption in Transit	TLS 1.3 for all network communications	Active
File System Encryption	iOS File Protection API	Active
Key Management	Secure Enclave hardware keys	Active
Certificate Pinning	Not implemented	Optional (planned)

3. Network Security

Data Protection & Privacy

Lens implements privacy by design principles throughout the application.

Privacy Principles:

Data Minimization: Only collects data necessary for core functionality
Purpose Limitation: Data used only for stated purposes
Storage Limitation: Data retained only as long as necessary
User Control: Users control what data is captured and stored
Transparency: Clear privacy policy and data handling disclosures

GDPR & CCPA Compliance

User Rights

Right	Implementation	Status
Right to Access	Export functionality for user data	Implemented
Right to Deletion	Delete all app data via settings	Implemented
Right to Portability	Export media files with metadata	Implemented
Right to Rectification	Edit metadata before export	Implemented

Dependency vulnerability management

We are committed to remediating Critical and High CVEs in our dependencies within 90 days. Our process (SCA, SBOM, policy, and runbook) is documented in our Product Security Architecture and dependency-vulnerability-management runbook. We use GitHub Dependency Graph and Dependabot for visibility and alerts, and Trivy in CI for vulnerability scanning and CycloneDX SBOM generation. For dependency CVE reports or questions: lens@field-notes.dev.
