Questions counsel asks.

Will this expose customer data or trade secrets?

The licensed package is anonymized. Identifiers, trade secrets, proprietary logic and other sensitive IP are removed during collection, not after a buyer has the files. Anything you name as off-limits, such as customer records in a CRM, source code or employee data from a given region, is treated as a scope limit. Nothing is released until you approve the package, the buyer and the terms. We don’t describe any corpus as impossible to re-identify, or the process as free of legal risk.

Is de-identified data still personal data?

It can be. Records where names are swapped for codes are pseudonymized, not anonymous, and laws such as the EU’s GDPR still treat them as personal data. Whether a package can be treated as anonymous depends on the method, the context and what else it could be linked to. Specialist counsel makes that call before anything is released.

Could a lab use this to compete with us?

The license is for training on a defined package, designed so it doesn’t harm your business, your customers or your trade secrets. It doesn’t grant the right to operate your product. You approve the package, the buyer and the terms before anything is released. Any remaining risk depends on what you include and how the license is written. That’s why specialist counsel reviews every package before it leaves.

Do we lose ownership of our systems?

No. A license covers a defined training package. You keep your systems and the originals, and title to the data doesn’t pass.

Do you need access to our systems?

Supersoniq doesn’t. Our anonymization partners collect only the agreed scope, in a way your IT team approves, and remove identifiers before anything is packaged.

Is more data actually worth more?

Generally, yes. Longer-running companies and those with more employees tend to hold more valuable records: more years means more history, and more people means more of the work as it was done. Volume, number of systems, workflow uniqueness, completeness and clean rights also move the price. Two companies of the same size can still be far apart, and there’s no standard price per terabyte.

Are you the buyer?

No. Supersoniq represents the company that owns the data. We don’t buy it and don’t take title to it. Any buyer is a separate party, and you approve them before anything is released.

Will buyers know it’s us?

Not until you decide. Buyers first see an anonymous profile: the kind of company, the systems, the history and the approximate volume. Your name goes only to buyers you approve, under a nondisclosure agreement, and the license can keep it out of anything the buyer publishes.

Who approves the buyer and the package?

You do. A buyer is pursued once scope and terms are clear, and nothing is released until you approve the package, the buyer and the terms.

Is our company a good fit?

Usually, if you’ve operated for several years across more than a few systems. Size helps, but history, breadth and clean rights matter as much as volume. A confidential inventory is the quickest way to find out, and there’s no fee unless a deal closes.

What does Supersoniq cost, and when?

A percentage of the net compensation paid to you, after the deal closes. The percentage is agreed in the engagement. We don’t buy the data and don’t earn a resale margin on it. If a buyer pays us a sourcing fee, we disclose it to you before you approve.

What if no deal closes?

Then no fee is owed. Our fee arises only after a deal closes and you’ve been paid.

1. Will our company be named, and to whom?

   Ask who sees your name, when, and whether it can appear in anything the buyer publishes.

2. Will you license our data to anyone else?

   Some buyers resell or relicense a corpus to several labs. Ask whether you share in that, or are paid once.

3. Can you combine it with other data, or use it in your own products?

   A license to train models is narrower than a right to merge your records into a product or another dataset.

4. When is the price final?

   If the price is confirmed only after delivery and review, it can change once the data has left your hands.

5. Who approves each release?

   You should approve every package and every buyer before anything is transferred.

6. What happens at the end of the term?

   Ask what must be deleted, what can be kept, and how you’ll know.
