How to talk to the press about licensing data
By SourceX Editorial · Updated
Short answer
Lead with safeguards: what was removed, who approved it, and what the buyer may not do. Check the license's confidentiality terms before saying anything, and keep buyer names private unless agreed.
Before you speak#
Read the confidentiality clause and agree messaging with the buyer if needed.
What to say#
Plain facts: records were prepared, personal details removed, the company approved the release.
- 01Your work records
- 02Personal details removed
- 03You approve the release
- 04Licensed to AI developers
How SourceX handles it#
SourceX starts with a short fit check that shares no data. If it fits, rights are reviewed, a copy is prepared with personal and confidential details removed, and your company approves exactly what leaves before anything is delivered under a signed license.
Frequently asked questions
Can I name the buyer?
