"should have this feature" is controversial - as on some level, filecoin is a public network. currently, there is no way for clients to enforce un-retreivability for the content they stored with SP, tho there might be future FIP or user smart contract to deliver this feature. if a client desire such feature, they should encrypt the data before sending it atm. Im converting this to discussion for collecting ideas. |

What is the motivation behind this feature request? Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, all deals are being indexed and this would allow anyone in the world to request the retrieval of private data.
Some the SPs have private data deals with their client would prefer if these could not be retrieved by other others.
Describe the solution you'd like
A discussion around this has already taken place under filecoin-project/go-fil-markets#704.
I will leave the implementation logic upto the devs as there are 2 thought process.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Data can be simply archived with passwords and thus would be safe. But this makes retrievals complicated for large dataset.
Additional context
Boost already has a similar issue filecoin-project/boost#455. Please keep this request open till completion or official deprecation of go-fil-market.
