Dataswyft, govern key aspects of the platform for the following reason:

Data within data accounts are self sovereign data and a “legal asset” in terms of its storage, exchange, and useage because it does not belong to Dataswyft.
Dataswyft is merely hosting the data servers and server databases that house the decentralized data, owned by the server owner, and we provide the connections to use and mobilize the data.
We are accountable to server owners for the storage and mobility of their data. We are not the processor and controller of their data. See our privacy policy.
Rules set by the HAT community Foundation, and Dataswyft aim to protect ourselves and Network enabled applications from being accused of (1) bias in operating the exchange; (2) illegality of accessing data we do not own; (3) not excercising proper stewardship in data usage; (4) taking actions for commercial interests, to the detriment of our stewardship role.
Dataswyft upholds these stewardship rules as its policies.
The policies must be transparent, objectively, and uniformly executed under the oversight of the HAT Community Foundation.
The policies also enable the regulator, HAT Community Foundation (HCF), to have an oversight function in approving new policies, or amendments to it.
