Can you license your company's records?

Answer five questions and see what to settle before you sign, with the source for each step and what your tools' own terms say about the data.

Check my records
Is the company still operating?
Who can sign for the company now?
Do any customer contracts limit what you can do with their data?

Look for confidentiality, data use and deletion clauses.

How much personal data is in the records?

Names, emails and phone numbers of staff and customers.

Do staff and contractor agreements give the company their work?

This matters for documents and code. Look for an IP assignment clause.

Which tools does the company use? (optional)

See what each one's terms say about the data.

Common questions

Does anything I pick reach Dataconto?

No. The check runs on your device and sends nothing.

Can a founder license the records after the company closes?

Not in their own name. The records belong to the company, so someone who can still act for it signs: a director of a dissolved Delaware corporation for three years, or a trustee, administrator or liquidator. Who owns a dissolved company's data has the rest.

Do I have to remove personal data before I talk to a buyer?

No. micro1 says you don't need to anonymize anything first, and Turing removes personal data and secrets before anything reaches a model. Agree who does it before any sample leaves the company. The rights checklist says what counts as anonymous.

What if one customer's contract rules them out?

Leave the records that mention that customer out of the license. The rest can still go.
