02A useful enquiry

What helps a DPI enquiry get a useful answer.

Enquiries come from digital agencies, central banks, regulators and civil society. A useful enquiry names the system, the decision, anonymised data available and rights considerations. Answers draw on digital identity and the data spaces and rights topic. No personal data from identity or payment systems should be sent with an enquiry.

  • The system concerned.
  • The decision.
  • Data available, anonymised.
  • Rights considerations.
