Essentials

What if I already shared data with an AI vendor?

By SourceX Editorial · Updated

Short answer

Check what that vendor's terms allow, such as whether they can train on your data and whether you granted exclusivity. Past sharing doesn't automatically block licensing, but it matters.

What to check#

The vendor's terms, any opt-outs, and whether exclusivity was granted.

Why it matters#

Buyers may ask whether the same data is already in someone else's model.

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 still license the same records?

Often, unless an earlier agreement gave exclusive rights.

Is this legal advice?

No. It is general information; your counsel should review any specific deal.
