Data Collection & Privacy Counseling
Structure data collection, privacy practices, and related agreements with future AI data sales and licensing in mind.
Data Collection & Privacy Counseling
Plan for future data sales before collection begins. We help startups and technology companies structure collection practices and related agreements around intended AI training and licensing uses, taking applicable privacy requirements into account from the outset.
We advise on privacy notices, lawful bases for processing, consent and opt-out mechanisms where required, and customer, contributor, and vendor agreements. We align collection permissions and downstream licensing rights with the data involved, the people it concerns, and the jurisdictions in scope.
We help teams address data minimization, retention, de-identification, individual rights requests, and restrictions on sensitive data. Where a proposed sale or use needs additional permission or should be excluded, we identify that before it becomes a commitment to a buyer.
The result is a practical collection and contracting approach your product and commercial teams can use, with documentation to support future buyer diligence. We also assess whether existing datasets can support the intended use; revised terms alone may not resolve restrictions attached to data already collected.
