Your data
Is selling company data to AI safe?
The licensed copy is a de-identified set of operational records you approve: emails and documents, and project, sales, finance, support and operations systems. Names, email addresses, phone numbers, customer and staff details, passwords and legal files are never shared. You can hold anything else back.

What can be licensed
Vetrix Data Licensing pays you to license a de-identified copy of operational records. The three groups in the table above are what a license can include.
A product name on the form tells us what you use. It does not put every product in that category into the copy. Personal details are removed before anything leaves your company.
How to sell company data to AI companies starts from the records you already hold and the right to license them.
What is never shared
Anything in the never-shared row stays out of the copy.
If your company is closing, what to do with customer data when closing a business covers your duty to delete or return it.
For how these exclusions apply in a regulated sector, read company data licensing by industry.
System by system
Each category below is one the form asks about.
| Category | What the license can include | Personal elements removed |
|---|---|---|
| Email and collaboration | Emails can be licensed. | Names, email addresses, and phone numbers. |
| Chat | Chat is not shared. | The whole system stays out of the copy. |
| Documents and storage | Documents can be licensed. | Names, email addresses, and phone numbers. |
| Project or workflow | Project systems can be licensed. | Names and other personal details. |
| CRM and sales | Sales systems can be licensed. | Customer details, names, email addresses, and phone numbers. |
| Finance and accounting | Finance systems can be licensed. | Names, email addresses, and phone numbers. |
| HR | HR is not a licensed category. | Staff records stay out of the copy entirely. |
| Support or ticketing | Support and operations tools can be licensed. | Customer details, names, email addresses, and phone numbers. |
The form also lets you name other tools. Naming a tool does not put it in the copy.
Is employee or HR data shared?
No. There is no payroll-data offer and no HR-data offer. An HR tool on the form does not move staff records into the copy.

An example record with details removed
The example keeps the work: a credit decision, an escalation, and a sign-off. It removes the names. It is an illustration, not a file from a client.
You approve each system
You approve each system before anything is shared, and you can hold anything else back. You can refuse one system and still license the others.
The steps to license company data include the read-only check and the point where you can stop.
Before you decide what to include, check whether your company qualifies to sell its data.
The company data license agreement terms set out what you give and what you keep.
Used only for AI research
What you are paid does not depend on how personal the original systems were.
What your company data is worth depends on staff at peak. That page shows the band for your company.
De-identified, not anonymous
De-identified means personal details are removed. We don't call the copy anonymous. You may see this kind of data called anonymized company data elsewhere. We use de-identified instead.

Questions about what is shared
Are staff details or payroll files shared?
No. An HR tool on the form is only a description of what you use. It does not place payroll files or staff records in the copy. You can hold a whole system back and still license the others. Nothing is copied when you send the enquiry.
Are customer names included in the licensed copy?
No. Customer names are not in the licensed copy. The sample above keeps the credit decision and takes the person's name out. You can also hold back any other field, or a whole system. The $3,000 in that sample is part of the illustration. It is not a payout, and the sample is not a file from a client.
Can the company refuse one system and still license the others?
Yes. Refusing one system does not block a license of the others. The payout band follows staff at peak, and refusing a system is not a discount. Nothing is copied when you enquire. You can stop during the system check by disconnecting the read-only link.
Does de-identified mean the licensed copy is anonymous?
No. We don't call this copy anonymous, and we don't call it anonymized. De-identified means personal details have been removed. The accurate description is de-identified, or with personal details removed. Whether the removal meets a legal test is explained on the legal page.
Is the licensed copy used for marketing or sold as a contact list?
No. Marketing is outside the license, and the copy is not sold as a contact list. The copy is used only for AI research. A record in the copy is not someone you can email or call. Names, email addresses, and phone numbers are already out before anything leaves your company.
