Content and Publication Consent

DPI Commons separates four distinct permissions. Agreeing to one never implies the others.

1. Platform publication

Publishing a post on DPI Commons makes it publicly visible on the platform.

2. Contact permission

Opting in to contact allows the editorial team to reach out about a specific contribution. It does not authorize an interview, quotation, or external publication.

3. Interview permission

Agreeing to an interview means you agree to a conversation — nothing more.

4. Quotation and external publication permission

Using your words, name, or organization outside DPI Commons — in an article, report, or framework — requires your explicit, separate confirmation of the attribution you approve.

You can review quotations attributed to you before external publication when promised by the editorial team, and you can withdraw consent at any stage before publication.
