## How to define the tryptich

To identify the tryptich of specific terms, answer the following questions:

1. Who is responsible for creating and maintaining those terms? Most often, it will be the `service provider` itself. Sometimes, while still being the service provider, it could be that only providers from a certain industry could write such terms, such as `transportation operator`.
2. Who is the target audience whose rights and duties are defined? Often, it will be the `end user`, but it can also be the `commercial partners` or `business users`, for example.
3. Which information or interaction precisely is constrained by those terms? For example, the `end users’ personal data`, or maybe the `privileged seller status programme`. Try to be as specific as possible, as this precision enables distinguishing between otherwise similar types.

After having answered these questions, if reading out loud the tryptich, it sounds right to say that **“these terms describe how the `<writer>` commits to handle the `<object>` for its `<audience>`**.

## Add new terms type

Contributions to expand the `terms-types` database are welcome. If you'd like to suggest a new type, please follow the [process detailed in our CONTRIBUTING file](CONTRIBUTING.md).
