Essentials
Data licensing and labor law
By SourceX Editorial · Updated
Short answer
Employee-created records usually belong to the company, but labor rules, union agreements and employee notices can matter. Employee names and personal details are removed regardless.
Union workplaces#
Collective agreements or bargaining duties may apply. Ask labor counsel.
Non-union workplaces#
A short staff notice is often wise even when not required.
- 01Your work records
- 02Personal details removed
- 03You approve the release
- 04Licensed to AI developers
How SourceX handles it#
SourceX starts with a short fit check that shares no data. If it fits, rights are reviewed, a copy is prepared with personal and confidential details removed, and your company approves exactly what leaves before anything is delivered under a signed license.
