Maryah: Business data licensing

Details on who qualifies

In Maryah’s words, “we assess the records and your right to share them, not just your industry”, and “fit depends on the data, not just company size”.

Maryah suggests its partners start with established businesses of more than 30 people, over three years old, with records in English. That is a starting point, and Maryah decides each case. Of the buyers on this site, it is the one open to small companies, sole traders, and companies outside the countries the others name.

Details on pay

You choose how to be paid, and each choice has its own intake form:

• Revenue share. You earn from each sale as the records are licensed.
• One-time payment. You are paid once for one agreed buyer offer.

The fit check asks which you prefer and sends you to the matching form. Maryah publishes totals, not a per-company range. Its calculator gives an illustrative estimate, “not an offer”, that depends on history, volume, quality, context, rights and buyer demand. Payment follows the schedule your agreement sets.

What Maryah does with your records

Before AI training, identifying details are replaced: a name becomes a label like “Person 14” across the whole dataset, and company names and email addresses get labels too. Passwords and credentials, card and banking details, identities as they are, and access to live systems are not for sale.

You can exclude specific systems, folders, customers or sensitive workflows, and name buyers, competitors or uses to keep out before you sign.

How it works

1. Assess the fit. You describe the company and its systems. No raw data is uploaded.
2. Verify the counts. Your team confirms record counts with screenshots. Maryah says to allow about two hours, more for older systems or several sources.
3. Agree the scope. Systems, folders and records, plus permitted uses and buyer restrictions.
4. Find a buyer. A listing is not a guaranteed sale.
5. Prepare and deliver. After a buyer deal, the data goes to a de-identification partner or the buyer’s controlled environment, and identifying details are handled before training.

Before you apply

• Decide how you want to be paid. The two forms are separate, and the choice shapes the agreement.
• Keep the systems reachable until the counts are verified, since verification uses screenshots from your side.
• List the customers, folders or workflows you want left out, and raise them before signing.
• Read your customer contracts for clauses that restrict licensing records that mention customers, even de-identified ones.
