Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before creating your document.

Can this Data Sharing Agreement be used when only anonymised data is being shared?+

Yes. If you select the anonymised-only option, the template activates clauses focused on preserving anonymisation and preventing re-identification while still maintaining confidentiality and security safeguards, without imposing unnecessary personal data obligations.

How does this agreement interact with the DPDP Act obligations of a data fiduciary?+

The agreement assumes the Provider is typically the data fiduciary or controller and remains responsible for notices, consents and data principal rights, while the Recipient is contractually bound to use data only for permitted purposes, maintain security and support Provider's compliance where Personal Data is shared.

Can the Recipient commercially exploit models or analytics built using the shared data?+

Yes, but only to the extent you configure that option. The template offers no exploitation, Provider approval-based exploitation, or freely exploitable anonymised outputs, and automatically adjusts the ownership and permitted use clauses accordingly.

Does this template address third-party or open-source data in the dataset?+

You can flag that third-party or open-source data is included and capture key licence, attribution or usage restrictions. Those conditions are then referenced in the agreement to ensure downstream compliance with source licences.
