Using the SD-BY-A-DP 0.9 Public Beta Agreement by Customer Commons

The SD-BY-A-DP 0.9 public beta describes terms for service delivery that permit first-party service analytics, require data portability for shared service data, and prohibit third-party analytics, all tracking and profiling, and third-party personal-data sharing. These considerations are informational, are not exhaustive, and do not form part of the agreement.

Considerations for Adopters (Organizations and Individuals)

Review the Human and Legal views and the machine-readable Turtle file before considering SD-BY-A-DP 0.9.
Confirm that processing remains limited to service delivery and that any service analytics are performed only by the organization receiving the data directly.
Provide the data-portability support required for shared service data.
Do not allow third-party analytics, tracking or profiling by any party, or third-party personal-data sharing.
Resolve the source-family summary mismatch before reliance: the agreement title, Human, Legal, and Machine material permit first-party service analytics, while one Preamble summary note says organization analytics are not permitted.

Considerations for the Public

SD-BY-A-DP 0.9 is a public beta and should be assessed against the complete agreement family.
Adoption communicates service-delivery terms, a data-portability obligation, and the stated analytics, tracking, profiling, and sharing restrictions.
The agreement applies only to rights and practices the adopter is authorized to address.
Review the complete agreement and the adopter’s implementation rather than relying only on this summary.

Human-Readable Summary (Plain English)

This agreement puts you, the individual, in control of how your personal data is used. You’re offering your data with clear terms — and an organization must agree to those terms if they want to use it.

What You’re Agreeing To

We’ll only use your data for delivering services to you.
- Your data can be processed, but only to provide the services you expect.
You may share service-related data with us.
- If you share this data, we’re required to support data portability — making it easy for you to retrieve or move your data.
We’re allowed to use your data for analytics to improve the service — but only if
- we’re the organization you shared it with directly.

What We’re Not Allowed To Do

We won’t allow third parties to analyze your data.
- Your information stays between us unless explicitly permitted.
We won’t track your behavior.
- Neither we nor third parties are allowed to track you.
We won’t profile you.
- That means no creating assumptions or categories about you based on your data.
We won’t share your personal data with third parties.
- No selling or handing off your info — ever.

If There’s a Conflict

If anything’s unclear, this policy follows the rule: permissions override prohibitions, which means if something is both allowed and disallowed, it is considered allowed.
