HiddenLayerOS Mode elevates privacy from application boundaries to the operating environment itself. By isolating HiddenLayer processes, enforcing network constraints, controlling storage access, and implementing emergency wipe mechanisms, the OS mode ensures that:
sensitive data cannot be exfiltrated by other apps
background network access is restricted to HiddenLayer channels
permission escalation is impossible without explicit consent
device-level privacy persists even under partial compromise
This layer is optional but recommended for high-risk use cases, deep security environments, and users who cannot tolerate accidental leakage.
