## Your next step

Describe a connected operational workflow and ask whether Scale will assess your company size. Confirm the package-approval process and whether a proposed partnership requires repeated deliveries.

## Program overview

Scale AI is one of the largest AI data vendors. Its data partnership program licenses records from companies across the tools most teams use: Slack or Teams, email and calendar, Drive, Jira and Confluence, Salesforce, Workday and Zendesk, and warehouse data.

Scale describes an illustrative range of $10K to $1M+, which can recur. [De-identification](https://quotemydata.com/glossary#de-identification) happens inside the seller’s environment and the seller approves each package before anything leaves.

It prefers companies with 40 or more employees as a starting point and assesses each case individually.

## What does the organization accept?

Slack or Teams, email and calendar; Google Drive, Jira and Confluence; Salesforce, Workday and Zendesk records; Data warehouse tables

## Who may be paid, and how?

**Company.** Not published. Ask during scoping.

**Published figure: $10K to $1M+.** This is an advertised figure, not a verified average or an offer for your records. [Read the program’s pricing explanation](https://scale.com/data-partnership).

## Eligibility, geography and language

Companies with 40+ employees preferred as a starting point; Assessed case by case

Supplier geography and language rules are not established by this profile. Confirm before submitting.

## Published process and terms

**De-identification:** Scale removes employee and customer identities inside the seller’s environment; the seller approves each package.

**Deal structure:** Illustrative range that can recur over time.

**Exclusivity:** Not published. Ask during scoping.

## Questions to resolve before proceeding

- An illustrative range is wide. Ask what drives the low and high end for your tools.
- If the deal recurs, clarify what you deliver each period and for how long.
- Confirm who is liable if personal data slips through de-identification.

## Before requesting a company-data offer

Start with the official program page and a description of the records. Confirm the contract counterparty, permitted uses, exclusions, acceptance criteria and payment milestones before transferring data. Our [security questions](https://quotemydata.com/guides/security-questions-before-licensing-data) and [broker or direct guide](https://quotemydata.com/guides/broker-or-direct) can help with that review.
