What is a Data License Agreement?
A data license agreement, or DLA, is a contract between an individual or company and another party when someone wants to gain access and use some type of data. The agreement can include clauses about how to share data with others not involved in the licensing agreement.
Data licensing agreements are typically used by companies who use data for their own purposes but want to share it with other parties as well. This type of arrangement might be helpful if two organizations need access to the same database for different reasons.
A data license agreement protects both the company's sensitive information as well as its employees' personal information from being mishandled in any way. It also gives legal permission for employees to use specific types of software within certain parameters set by management; that way they're not violating any laws and risking fines and penalties for doing so.
