FAQ's
What does collectID do?

What is blockchain and how does it work?
A blockchain is a data structure that is designed to maintain a digital ledger of transactions. The software that manages a blockchain works by distributing copies of this ledger to every computer running the software, creating a decentralized network of machines that all hold the same exact transaction history. When an entry is added to the ledger on one machine, every other machine participating in the network must update their ledger to match the changes. It can be thought of, more familiarly, as an extra secure database with the added benefits of transparency and decentralization. This is how CollectID stores the details of your portfolio so that, by virtue of some clever cryptography, only you have the credentials to transfer the ownership of your collectibles. Blockchain technology ensures that the RUBIROSA product ecosystem is as secure as technically possible.
What happens with my data when I delete my collectID account?
