Using a data broker vs. a data licensing intermediary
By SourceX Editorial · Updated
Short answer
Traditional data brokers typically buy and resell consumer data. A data licensing intermediary like SourceX helps businesses license their own proprietary data to vetted AI buyers under agreements the business approves, without reselling it on its own account.
Control
With an intermediary, you approve each deal.
Focus
Business operational data, not consumer profiles.
