Question
Can I license data to a non-U.S. lab?
By SourceX Editorial · Updated
Short answer
Often yes, subject to export controls, sanctions and contract terms. Some U.S. rules restrict transferring certain sensitive data to countries of concern. Buyers are vetted before any deal.
Part of: How licensing works
Explanation#
Data residency and governing law should be set in the license.
SourceX buyers can be worldwide; suppliers are based in the U.S., Canada or the EU.
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.
