## Principles of Collaboration

* **No Data or Privacy Compromise**: Sponsorship is never traded for user data, private telemetry, or undisclosed product insertions.
* **Independent Roadmap**: Sponsorship does not dictate the product feature roadmap; architectural decisions remain guided by long-term community value.
* **Explicit Mutual Agreement**: Display formats, logos, and promotional scope are clearly agreed upon prior to implementation.
* **Transparent & Traceable**: The utilization of funds or infrastructure credits remains clear, justified, and traceable.
