Glossary
Item
A single unit of data submitted to Truestamp for timestamping - identified by its composite fingerprint, belonging to exactly one team, with a transferable owner and an immutable creator, advancing through the created, processing, and committed states.
Ownership
The transferable rights holder of a Truestamp item, either a single user or a team, that every rights decision (read, update, redact, restore, delete, reassign) is authorized against; ownership can change hands without altering any hash, so an existing proof stays valid across transfers.
Ownership model
The per-team setting choosing who owns newly submitted items - creator retains (the default; the submitting user owns their items) or team retains (the team owns them; plan-gated, requires each invitee's acknowledgment of ownership terms, and blocks plan downgrades while in effect).
Items
Item Lifecycle
The states a Truestamp item moves through from created to committed, plus the terminal redacted and deletion states, what each means to a user, how an item advances to committed, and how ownership governs who can act at each stage.
Item Ownership vs Authorship
The Item split between immutable authorship (audit-only creator record excluded from every hash, with one exception when the author's account is deleted) and transferable ownership (the user or team rights holder driving all rights-based decisions), plus the creator-retains vs team-retains model.
