Terms and Copyright updates

James Cridland posted on Friday 4th January at 19:53We’ve today updated our copyright page to clarify “who owns what”, given this interesting piece on the Telegraph’s website. We’d not been explicit about this before, but we thought it worthwhile adding this information.
The basic gist is:
1. If you submit stuff to our directory, then we own that (though copyright in the directory really only rests in the compliation of the info, rather than the information itself).
2. If you post comments here, then you still own your comment, and you can do what you like with it. But we need a licence to allow us to reproduce it, and that’s what we mean by “you assign to us a non-exclusive worldwide licence to reproduce this material, for the limited purposes of operating, promoting and improving our services.”
We’ve also changed our terms page to link to our copyright page, for clarity.
For completeness, our privacy and cookie pages were changed in December, to reference LinkedIn and Media UK Accounts.
This is tedious and dull, but we’d like to think we get this stuff right. Please do shout if you’ve any questions.
