The confidentiality question comes before the data question.

Find out in 20 minutes whether your firm matches micro1's published criteria for its company-data program, and what's in scope, without sharing a single file.

  • We never see your data
  • Independent privacy counsel office hours
  • An honest no if you don't fit

You've probably had this email three times this week.

  • “License your operational data.” A calculator. A big number. A stranger.
  • You can't tell who's legitimate, whether it breaks a duty you owe your clients, or how much of your team's time it'll eat.
  • So it sits in a folder. Or worse, someone clicks without asking anyone.

In 20 minutes, you'll know three things:

  1. Whether your company matches micro1's published criteria.

  2. Which kinds of records are worth a conversation, and which questions to take to a privacy lawyer first.

  3. Exactly what applying involves, step by step, and that nothing is binding until you sign a contract with micro1.

Plus: a one-page recap the same day, written so you can forward it to your partners.

90 seconds to find out.

Six questions against micro1's published criteria. No estimate, because micro1 alone decides eligibility and compensation.

What micro1 says about your data

“Companies retain ownership of their underlying data.”
“Personally identifiable information (PII) is removed when relevant, access is restricted to a limited number of authorized team members, and customer data is processed through isolated pipelines that prevent it from being commingled with other engagements.”
“Data is retained only for agreed periods, companies have the opportunity to review representative samples before use, and deletion requests are honored according to the terms of the engagement.”

“Before any participation, together we define:”

  • “Approved data scope and clear boundaries”
  • “Security and confidentiality standards”
  • “Anonymization and redaction requirements”
  • “Internal approval processes and permissions”
“Upon request or at the end of an engagement, data is deleted according to the agreed retention and deletion terms.”

License scope, exclusivity, payment terms, and liability are set in micro1's agreement, which your counsel reviews. micro1 publishes none of them.

The usual questions.

  • “Is this a scam?” Read the coverage above. Then judge us by what we won't do: estimate your payout, touch your data, or apply for you.
  • “Our client data is confidential.” Good. That's question one. Bring it to office hours. Nothing is binding until you sign a contract with micro1, and your counsel reviews it first.
  • “How much work is it?” Finding out takes 20 minutes. Applying is yours to choose, and you type it yourself.
  • “Why not go to micro1 directly?” You can. We don't charge you. We add the fit check, counsel access, a briefing kit, and follow-through.

Hands off. Honest no. One-email exit.

  • We never see, touch, copy, or store your data.
  • If you don't match micro1's published criteria, we'll tell you, and stop.
  • Reply “stop” once and we all stop.

Never.

No. micro1's process requires you to apply yourself; we can stay on a screen-share.

No. We are an independent referrer. micro1 may pay us a referral reward if your company signs. We are not micro1's agent or representative.
