BUSINESS SCREENING
Could your business be a fit?
Start with organized company systems and a history of operating knowledge. Screening is not acceptance. Only Data Partnerships can confirm fit.
A written data licence is a contract that specifies which copy a buyer may use, for what purpose and on what terms. It is not a loan or a promise of payment.
- Employees
- 20+
- Years of history
- 3+
- Business
- US
The partner program specifies US businesses; the business overview does not clearly limit geography. If your business is outside the US or your circumstances differ, confirm eligibility directly with Data Partnerships.
How do you move from interest to a decision?
- 01
Learn. Check fit.
Review the preliminary criteria and identify which company records you may have authority to license. Do not upload records here.
- 02
Discuss with the provider.
Ask DataPartnerships to confirm eligibility, exclusions, buyer categories and the proposed handling process. A consultation is not a promise.
- 03
Review before sharing.
Review the written agreement before sharing records or committing. Confirm the dataset, buyer category, scope, term, fees, revenue share and privacy safeguards. The separate signed licence controls conflicting licensing terms.
BEFORE ANY RECORDS MOVE
What should you review with counsel?
Emails, internal chats, shared-drive documents, tickets, job notes and SOPs are examples of operational records, not permission to share them.
Contracts, consent and authority
Ask counsel to confirm your rights, consents and authority to license the proposed records. Check customer, employee and vendor contracts, confidentiality obligations and third-party rights. Access to a company system is not permission to share everything in it.
Raw-copy access and retention
De-identification before buyer delivery does not mean originals are never accessed during preparation. Confirm who can access raw copies, how they are secured, where they are stored, how long they are retained and how deletion works. Keep your originals.
Exclusions and review rights
Confirm excluded records, sample review and rejection rights before delivery. Do not provide PHI, payment card data (PCI), government identifiers or other regulated sensitive records unless a specific process is agreed in writing with Data Partnerships. Ask counsel about privileged material and trade secrets.
Uses, buyers and signed terms
Confirm the dataset, permitted uses, buyer categories, scope, term, termination, fees, revenue share, privacy safeguards and payment conditions in the signed contract. The separate signed licence controls conflicting licensing terms. No buyer, price or revenue is guaranteed; do not assume there are no fees.
Do not send WorkWithBar records, exports, passwords, personal, customer or employee details, privileged material or trade secrets. If you contact Bar, share only company-level industry, headcount, systems and years in business.
Mode is a different provider. For a separate educational perspective on privacy before export, read the Mode privacy article or the separate Mode overview. Do not mix provider terms or destinations.

FOR REFERRAL PARTNERS
Interested in introductions rather than licensing your own records?
A business licenses authorized records. A referral partner introduces businesses or recruits partners. Business licensing payments and referral commissions are separate.
Business payment
Business licensing payments relate to the agreed dataset and permitted uses. The separate signed licence specifies buyer category, scope, term, fees, revenue share and privacy safeguards, and controls conflicting licensing terms. No buyer, price or revenue is guaranteed. Do not assume there are no fees.
Referral commission
DataPartnerships currently advertises 30% of its fee on direct referrals and 5% of its fee on recruited partners’ deals. That is not 30% of the business’s licensing value. Actual entitlement follows the written commission schedule and agreement, not this overview.
The Terms require the referred business to sign and DataPartnerships to actually receive payment. Attribution rules apply. A valid W-9 or equivalent is required; payment method and timetable come from the commission schedule. Cancellations, refunds, chargebacks, disputes or violations can lead to reversals, offsets or repayment. No earnings are guaranteed.
