TRUST AND PARTICIPATION STANDARDS

Professional Visibility Built on Clear Standards

IDbGLAM is building the Professional Hub around transparency, relevance, and trust. Participation provides a structured way to present professional services, but it does not influence institutional records, search integrity, verification decisions, or editorial judgment.

Confirmed Identity

Professional participants must provide clear and accurate information about the person, company, or organization represented by the profile.

Relevant Experience

Profiles should describe services, qualifications, project experience, geographic reach, and demonstrated relevance to the cultural sector.

Transparent Offers

Discounts, trials, demonstrations, sponsorships, and other offers must be presented with clear terms, eligibility requirements, and provider responsibility.

Editorial Independence

Paid participation does not provide control over institutional information, search results, verification standards, rankings, or IDbGLAM editorial decisions.

Membership supports participation—not preferential treatment. IDbGLAM applies its verification, data-quality, and editorial standards independently of whether a professional or company is a paid participant, sponsor, partner, or service provider.
