FAQ

Questions we hear first.

Who pays whom?

The AI lab pays WhaleLink for a license. WhaleLink pays the company that provided the data, within 30 to 60 days once the data is approved, anonymized and delivered.

How much is my company’s data worth?

It depends on the length of history, depth, language and clean ownership. Describe your data in about a minute and we send you a free, written offer.

What kind of data do you license?

Operating records with real work in them: support tickets, email, job notes, quotes and catalogs.

How do you anonymize records?

We remove names, contact details, addresses and account numbers, then a person reviews samples and assesses the risk of reidentification.

Emails and tickets mention employees and customers. How do you handle that?

We remove every name, contact detail, address and account number of employees, customers and other third parties before a dataset is reviewed. Records about HR matters, health or other sensitive topics are taken out entirely. A person then checks samples for any remaining risk of reidentification.

Which countries do you work in?

We source data in Germany, the wider EU and Turkey. Buyers can be anywhere.
