What Crydd owns

The following are the intellectual property of Crydd, protected by copyright and related rights:

• The editorial content — written profiles, verdicts, market notes, comparisons, and career roadmaps.
• The Crydd Score: the scoring model, its factors and weightings, and the published methodology behind it.
• The selection, curation, structure, and arrangement of the catalog as a whole.
• The interface, visual design, typography system, and the underlying source code.
• The Crydd name and wordmark.

02 / What Crydd does not own

What Crydd does not own

Certification names, programme names, exam codes, provider names, and provider logos belong to their respective owners. AWS, Microsoft, Google, Cisco, CompTIA, PMI, ISC2, Adobe, Autodesk, Unity, Red Hat, Oracle, IBM, NVIDIA, TESDA and every other organisation named on this platform retain all rights in their own marks.

Those marks appear here for one reason: to identify accurately the certification being described. That is nominative use — the only practical way to write about a credential is to name it.

Naming a certification is not a claim of partnership, sponsorship, accreditation, or endorsement in either direction. Crydd is independent of every provider it covers, and no provider can pay for placement or for a better score.

03 / Provider logos

Provider logos

Provider brand marks are displayed at small sizes purely to help you recognise a certification at a glance. They are not modified beyond scaling, and they are never used to suggest that a provider endorses Crydd.

If you own a mark and would prefer it were not displayed, write to legal@crydd.com and it will be removed promptly — a plain text label works just as well.

04 / What you may do with Crydd's content

What you may do with Crydd's content

• Read it, and use it to make your own decisions.
• Quote a short passage with attribution and a link back to the page it came from.
• Share links freely — to a certification, a comparison, a collection, or a roadmap.

You may not republish the editorial content at scale, reproduce the catalog as a dataset, or present Crydd's ratings or writing as your own work.

05 / Reporting infringement

Reporting infringement

If you believe something on Crydd infringes your copyright or trademark, send a notice to legal@crydd.com including:

• Your name and contact details, and the rights holder you act for.
• Identification of the work or mark concerned.
• The exact URL or URLs where the material appears.
• A statement of why you believe the use is not authorised.
• A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are entitled to act.

Valid notices are acted on promptly — usually by removing or amending the material while we look into it. We will tell you what we did. If material of yours was removed and you believe that was a mistake, reply to the same address and we will reconsider it.
