# Operating Data Advisors > We help established businesses find out if their past email, documents and support tickets qualify to be licensed to AI developers, and guide them through each step. No cost to the business. Operating Data Advisors helps business owners understand AI data licensing: when AI companies pay a business to license its past work records (email, documents, support tickets, chat) with names removed. We qualify companies, explain the process, and match each one with a single vetted buyer. We are paid a referral fee by the buyer if a deal closes; the business pays nothing. We do not give legal advice. ## Pages - [Should Your Company License Its Records to AI Developers?](https://operatingdataadvisors.com/): Home page: what AI data licensing is, a 2-minute qualifier, whether law, accounting, medical and financial firms are allowed to license records, what is and isn't shared, the 5-step process, how we protect information, and answers to common owner questions. ## Guides - [What Is AI Data Licensing? A Plain Guide for Business Owners](https://operatingdataadvisors.com/guides/what-is-ai-data-licensing): Defines AI data licensing, explains why AI companies want business records, what a deal covers (systems, dates, de-identification, use, exclusivity), the usual 6-step process, who qualifies, key legal and privacy questions, and red flags. - [Guides to AI Data Licensing for Business Owners](https://operatingdataadvisors.com/guides): Index of guides for business owners about licensing company records to AI developers. ## About us - [How We Protect Your Information](https://operatingdataadvisors.com/protecting-your-information): Security and data-handling page: Operating Data Advisors never receives company records; what the form collects; storage on Cloudflare; access limits; retention schedule; no selling or ad tracking; service providers; how to report a security issue. - [How We Get Paid](https://operatingdataadvisors.com/how-we-get-paid): Compensation disclosure: the buyer pays a referral fee only if a deal closes; the business pays nothing; one buyer at a time; how this affects our advice.
