Data rooms in AI data deals
In mergers and investments, a virtual data room holds the documents buyers review in due diligence. In AI data deals, a data room serves two jobs:
- Diligence documents: the data manifest, rights evidence, privacy notices, de-identification reports and draft license terms.
- Samples: a controlled place where a buyer can view or download a de-identified sample under NDA.
Good practice
- Give access to named people only, with expiry dates
- Watermark documents and log every view and download
- Keep samples small and representative
- Remove access as soon as a buyer drops out
- Never put raw, identifiable data in a data room
Brokers and data rooms
We never take custody of data, so samples move from seller to buyer through the seller's own data room or secure transfer, not through us.
