Rights clearance
Nothing is offered until it is cleared.
Our clearance framework was designed by attorneys and is applied to every mandate before a single record reaches a buyer. It protects the seller, the buyer, and the people whose work is in the data.
§ 1
Ownership
Confirm the firm holds title to the work product, including contractor and acquired materials.
§ 2
Consent
Assess employee, client, and counterparty rights; obtain or document consent where required.
§ 3
Confidentiality
Identify trade secrets, privileged material, and third-party obligations; exclude or redact.
§ 4
Privacy
De-identify personal information to the standard of applicable state and federal law.
§ 5
Scope of use
Define permitted uses, prohibited uses, and audit rights in the license itself.
§ 6
Record
Deliver a rights file with each dataset, so both parties hold the same evidence.
