Documents we read but did not count
3 named documents were read and left out because they are not what this board covers; each reason is below. They are counted, never answered.
- Enterprise Data Partnerships | aitrainer.work Enterprise: a router that says it holds no data and buys none: 'we are not a data processor, broker or escrow'
- Sell Your Data to AI Companies in 2026, The Complete Guide | FileYield | FileYield: a secondary broker guide, admissible for discovery of buyer names only, never a named buyer's terms
- Shutterstock Data Licensing: Shutterstock's page sells its own library to AI teams; it is not a door for a seller's data
How we read and count
Each buyer's own buyer and data-partnership pages were read through estate-fetch and stored whole (sha256 on every row).
For every page, six questions were answered from its own words: data types it says it takes, minimum volume, format or how the data is handed over, exclusive or non-exclusive, personal data removed, how the seller is paid.
Every stated answer carries the sentence it rests on, checked against the stored text; 'not stated' means the page read does not address the question.
A buyer with several pages reads 'varies' where they disagree.
12 buyers, 13 pages.
5 more named documents are listed but unread, and not counted.
