Privacy Policy

Information we collect

We may collect:

• Information you provide. When you email us or submit an application, buyer brief, or referral, we receive your contact details, company information, data inventory, rights statements, and any sourcing code you provide. Please submit metadata only, not raw personal or confidential data.
• Basic technical information. Our hosting and security providers may automatically receive information such as your IP address, browser and device type, referring page, pages visited, and request timestamps.

We provide restricted staff and contractor accounts for reviewing submissions. We do not collect payment information through intake. We do not sell personal information or use it for targeted advertising.

How we use information

We use personal information to:

• review applications, assess potential data partnerships, attribute sourcing referrals, and communicate about potential projects;
• operate, secure, maintain, and improve the website;
• understand site usage and diagnose technical issues; and
• comply with law and protect our rights, users, and services.

How we share information

We may share personal information:

• with approved team members, assigned sourcing contractors, and vendors providing database hosting, security, communications, and related operational services on our behalf;
• when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, or security; or
• in connection with a merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.

We do not share personal information with third parties for their own direct marketing.

Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including to maintain business records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet legal obligations.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. To make a request, email us at the address below. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. No internet transmission or storage system is completely secure, however, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children

This site is not directed to children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them through the site. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us so we can address it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the revised policy here and change the “Last updated” date when we do.
