Name and affiliation policy

A name is a claim. Verification is evidence.

@names, identity, affiliation, and legal rights stay separate.

Identity checked: The account holder completed Dibbit's current person-identity check. It does not establish rights to an @name.
Account control checked: The owner controlled the linked external account when it was connected. It does not establish a trademark or affiliation.
Name case reviewed: Dibbit closed a review case. Unless a separate credential says otherwise, that is not a finding of identity, affiliation, or legal rights.
Affiliation unconfirmed: The address may belong to a real person, but Dibbit has not established the claimed public-person or business relationship.

Names Dibbit may hold before claim

Dibbit may reserve an unclaimed name when it creates a material risk of impersonation, fraud, public-service confusion, namespace abuse, or a likely rights conflict. A hold is a safety and review state. It is not a finding that a particular claimant owns the name, and it is not an asset Dibbit promises to sell.

A person or organization that represents a held name may submit evidence for review. The review can consider identity, trademark evidence, organizational authority, linked-account control, public context, and counter-evidence. No single signal decides every case.

If a famous or business name was claimed first

Dibbit does not automatically award the name to the earliest claimant, the most famous claimant, the person who pays the most, or anyone who merely passes an identity check. A raw submission stays private. An operator-admitted review can place the name in a contested state and hold future claims or transfer activity without changing the current owner.

During review, public wording may say “Affiliation unconfirmed” or “Name contested.” Dibbit does not silently transfer the holder's inbox, messages, contacts, reputation, permissions, or private capabilities. Any correction of a claimed route remains subject to the Terms, notice, applicable law, and a documented audit record.

The launch workflow does not automate holder notice, evidence exchange, appeals, or @name transfers. Until those safeguards exist, an operator can hold a name for review or close the case without a Dibbit finding, but cannot use the dashboard to transfer the address.

What a linked X or Instagram profile means

An official connection may establish control of a specific external account at a point in time. It does not automatically establish a legal name, trademark ownership, employment, business authority, endorsement, safety, or permission to import private messages. Each provider's permissions, review requirements, and privacy rules continue to apply.

Names are not marketplace inventory

The planned marketplace-interest feature is limited to eligible numeric Dibbit IDs. Identity-bearing @names, protected names, verified affiliations, credentials, messages, contacts, reputation, and account history cannot be listed, priced, gifted, or traded through that feature.

Report or assert rights

A rights case must identify the name, the relationship being asserted, and the basis for review. Submitting a case does not guarantee a hold, suspension, transfer, or decision in the submitter's favor. Knowingly false submissions may result in account restrictions.

For accessibility help or a case that cannot be submitted through the form below, contact privacy@dibbit.ai with “Name rights review” in the subject.

Dibbit may contact the submitter separately for additional evidence or close a case without action. This launch form does not automate holder notice, evidence exchange, appeal, or transfer. Do not submit government-ID images or other sensitive documents through the public URL field.

Plain-language rule

Being a verified person is not the same as being the person or business implied by an @name. Dibbit shows those facts separately.
