Seller FAQ.

How long does the process take from listing to close?

From intake to listing live is typically 2–4 weeks. Deal close after listing depends on buyer demand, anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months. Highly domain-specific or rare datasets often move faster.

What if I'm not sure who owns our data?

That's exactly what the vetting call and provenance questionnaire are for. We work through it with you. If there are genuine ownership issues, we'll tell you before listing. Listings that can't be legally cleared don't go live.

Can I sell the same dataset to multiple buyers?

Yes, under a non-exclusive license you can sell the same dataset multiple times. Each buyer gets the same access rights. If a buyer wants exclusivity, the price reflects that premium.

What happens to the listing if no buyer is found?

You can leave the listing active as long as you'd like. If you need to wind down or delete the data for legal reasons, just notify Dayda and we'll take the listing down.

Does Dayda take ownership of my data?

No. Dayda never holds permanent ownership. We facilitate the transaction. You remain the owner until a Data Purchase Agreement is executed with a buyer.

What types of data do you reject?

We reject scraped web data with no provenance trail, data without user consent documentation, heavy PII that can't be cleaned, data involving minors (COPPA), and data with embedded third-party licensed content.
