28- Your code runs in a ** trusted execution environment** (TEE) - think of it as a
29- "privacy bubble" that even iExec workers can't peek into.
29+ Your code runs in a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) a secure area inside
30+ specific processors (Intel SGX/TDX chipset). Everything that happens there stays
31+ private and protected, even from the operating system.

31- Users run your iApp when they want to ** use ** their Protected Data for
32- something. Your code gets access to their protected data, performs actions with
33- it - all without you ever seeing the raw data .
33+ An authorized user can trigger an iApp that processes someone’s protected data
34+ inside this private environment. The data is used, but never exposed, not even
35+ to the person running the app .
