What is a data licensing agreement?

By Noah Loul · Updated

Short answer

A data licensing agreement grants a buyer defined rights to use your data — for example to train or evaluate AI models — while you keep ownership. It sets scope, permitted and prohibited uses, duration, exclusivity, security, deletion and payment.

Core terms#

Scope of data, allowed uses, restrictions, term, territory, exclusivity and fees.

Protections#

Prohibitions on resale and re-identification, security obligations, audit rights and deletion at end of term.
