What Grepped's contract says

The clauses Grepped publishes for the people it buys data from, in its own words, the costliest first. “Our reading” is ours, not Grepped's. These terms change: read the page itself before you sign.

  • Who removes personal data

    Grepped extracts, cleans and de-identifies itself, and deletes the originals after processing.

    “We remove personal and customer-identifying details. Original datasets are deleted once processing is done. ... We handle extraction, cleaning, and de-identification.”

    Our reading: The buyer runs the scrub on data it reads from your systems.

  • Resale

    Scope, use, retention and payment are set in an agreement; it says your data is never resold to competitors or published.

    “Scope, data use, retention and payment are set out in an agreement you sign before we start. ... Your data is never resold to competitors or published.”

    Our reading: The promise covers competitors only, so resale to anyone else is not ruled out by it.

  • Other

    Whoever referred you sees your deal's amount and the documents Grepped shares, such as the term sheet.

    “Once a deal is agreed you’ll see its amount, your fee, and the documents we share with you, such as the term sheet.”

    Our reading: Your price is shown to a third party.

  • When you are paid

    Paid within 7 days of the data passing review.

    “Within 7 days of your data passing review. Most companies go from filling in the form to payment in two to three weeks.”

    Our reading: Fast, but everything turns on what "passing review" means.

    no buyer price or spread published

    Grepped licenses to buyers under its own agreements with data owners and pays owners itself (referral fee is defined on what Grepped pays the owner), so its margin between lab price and owner payout is not disclosed. Samples de-identified and under NDA.

  • Oct 2026, broker economics
