Questions about licensing your company’s data.

It is a contract that lets an AI developer use a defined copy of your records, for agreed purposes such as model training or evaluation, in exchange for payment. You keep ownership of the originals.

AI labs, companies building models for specific industries, and data partners that assemble datasets for them. Each buyer publishes or negotiates its own requirements.

No. A licence grants limited rights to a copy for a set purpose and period. Selling usually transfers ownership. Most business data deals for AI are licences.

Calto Data is an independent introducer. We check whether your records are a likely fit for AI buyers and introduce you when they are. We don’t buy or host data.

Owner-operated firms with roughly 20–500 staff and several years of digital records they created themselves, especially in manufacturing, engineering, inspection, maintenance, semiconductors, energy and technical services.

Records that show a complete task with its reasoning and outcome: drawings with revision history, inspection results with corrective actions, maintenance logs, support tickets with resolutions, and operating procedures.

It is removed or de-identified before delivery, by agreed specialists, under a written scope you approve and the privacy laws that apply to you.

Check your customer contracts first. Records covered by confidentiality terms may need consent or exclusion. Raise this early; it shapes the scope.
