Hi Tyler,

thank you for taking the time to reply here. I believe a significant part
of the problem is that your website doesn't list the company name, I could
not find it anywhere, there is no "about us" or "company" section, you
always refer to the company as HOT and Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, be
it in the "privacy policy" or in "contact", in "community & organization",
or any other section. The only clue one can get is by leaving the page via
the "articles of incorporation" link, ending up here:
https://github.com/hotosm/hotosm-website/tree/gh-pages/downloads where you
can see the company name: HUMANITARIAN OPENSTREETMAP TEAM UNITED STATES
INCORPORATED

Of course you will do as you deem appropriate, but my suggestion would be
to put the name of your company on your website to reduce the potential for
confusion.

sincerely
Martin
