Research Access

Approved access policy.

Access model

Daylight does not operate open self-service registration for restricted surfaces. Access to archive material, deeper regional snapshots, and researcher tools is reviewed manually and approved individually.

Who this is for

Typical applicants include researchers, journalists, NGOs, public-interest analysts, and institutional users with a clear, legitimate use case that fits Daylight's worker-aware and privacy-preserving goals.

How approval works

1

Apply

Submit name, email, affiliation, and intended use through the application form.

2

Review

Applications are reviewed manually for fit, proportionality, and public-interest use.

3

Issue code

Approved researchers receive an individual access code that can be rotated or revoked.

4

Audit and revoke

Access is logged at a basic operational level and can be withdrawn if needed.

Conditions of access

Approved access is personal and should not be shared, pooled, or redistributed.

Restricted outputs should not be used for identification, targeting, or individual-level monitoring.

Access may be revoked if use is inconsistent with the stated purpose, site safety, or Daylight policy.

Public citation of Daylight findings should preserve the stated methodological caveats and uncertainty.
