Question
Can I exclude certain clients from licensed data?
By SourceX Editorial · Updated
Short answer
Yes. You can remove records tied to specific clients, contracts, regions or date ranges before anything is shared. This is common where some clients have strict confidentiality terms.
Part of: How licensing works
Explanation#
Exclusions are listed in the dataset documentation and verified before delivery.
Fewer records may reduce value, but protecting relationships comes first.
Rights and privacy#
- Confirm customer, vendor and employee agreements allow the use
- Remove or de-identify personal details before anything leaves the company
- Approve the final dataset and permitted uses in writing
How licensing works#
A business describes its data, buyer demand is assessed, scope and permitted use are proposed, the data is prepared and de-identified, an agreement is signed, and the approved dataset is delivered. See data licensing for detail.
