Common questions

For companies

Do I give up ownership of my data?

No. We purchase rights to license it to AI labs under defined terms. The original data stays with you until we agree on a transaction.

What kind of data is most valuable?

Operational history across multiple systems. Work you can follow from start to finish: a support ticket, emails, CRM entries, and the operations trail behind it.

Does it cost anything to work with you?

No. There's no fee to get an estimate or go through review. You only transact if we agree on terms.

We're winding down or already closed. Can we still do this?

Yes. What matters is that someone with authority can confirm the rights and the records are still recoverable.

What's the difference between the estimator and a quote?

The estimator shows a wide market band based on a few questions. A quote is company-specific and set after review. Both are indicative, not binding.

Who sees the raw data?

Before an agreement: DataLinq staff under confidentiality. After an agreement: AI labs see the prepared, de-identified version for their licensed use.

Is this a marketplace?

We're not a marketplace. You never list your data publicly or deal with buyers yourself. We work with you directly, de-identify the data and remove all PII, and you review and approve the cleaned version before anything leaves your hands.
