Question
How do I tell my employees about data licensing?
By SourceX Editorial · Updated
Short answer
Be clear and early: what is being shared, how personal details are removed, why the company is doing it and who to ask. Notice builds trust and may be legally required in some places.
Part of: How licensing works
Explanation#
Address worries about monitoring and job impact directly.
Update policies if needed.
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.
