Have you contacted all local communities affected?

How imported data will be verified?

Which imageries will be used to verify imported buildings?

How you will avoid importing buildings demolished in 2014 and deleted since?

As source is stated 
"856M buildings from Bing Maps imagery between 2014 and 2021"
I want to note that Poland should be excluded, as there are
highly superior sources of building data[1] for supervised imports
and Bing Maps imager is of poor quality here.

Is there would be dataset for review that can be seen online and
compared with geoportal.gov.pl imagery, then I can review
but almost certainly it would be a wrong decision to import it.
