Preparing European business data for responsible AI use.

We provide the legal and technical services that enable business data to be assessed, prepared and licensed for AI development and training.

Working with AI developers, businesses, data owners and insolvency practitioners, we combine local legal expertise with controlled data cleaning, anonymisation and preparation.

How it works

Four steps, every dataset

  1. 01

    Intake

    The seller confirms ownership and the type of data.

  2. 02

    Anonymisation

    Personal data is removed using established de-identification tools, inside the EU.

  3. 03

    Legal review

    Our GDPR lawyer in that country reviews the cleaning report and a random sample, then signs an anonymisation opinion.

  4. 04

    Transfer

    The buyer receives the dataset with a full documentation package.
