How you can
use this

DEFEND is a publicly accessible framework for personal digital protection — that's a deliberate description, and the boundaries below are just as deliberate.

What DEFEND is

You can

  • Read, follow, and apply DEFEND to your own digital life, free of charge.
  • Share the framework's public pages with others, with attribution.
  • Reference DEFEND's pillars, outcomes, or structure in your own writing, with attribution.

DEFEND is not

  • Open source
  • Freely licensed for unrestricted reuse
  • Public domain
  • A certification or compliance scheme you can badge a product with

Attribution

If you reference or adapt DEFEND publicly, attribute it clearly — something like:

"Based on the DEFEND Digital Life Framework."

No framework name, logo, or badge may be used to imply an endorsement, certification, or partnership that hasn't been separately and explicitly granted.
