The source sentence behind every answer (88)

Read and excluded

After reading, 2 named documents were excluded as off the board's subject; the reasons sit below. They count as read but give no answers.

  • Altitude by Geotab terms and conditions: Geotab's terms for buyers of its own aggregated fleet data on the Altitude platform, not terms on what Geotab may do with a customer's readings
  • Litmus legal: Litmus's legal index page: cookie notice and links to its agreements, no clause on customer data
How the figures are worked out

Each vendor's own published terms were read through estate-fetch and stored whole (sha256 on every row).

For every document, four questions were answered from the vendor's own words: who owns the business's data, vendor keeps aggregated or anonymised use, training AI on the business's data, export at exit.

Every stated answer carries the sentence it rests on, checked against the stored text; 'not stated' means the document read does not address the question.

A vendor with several documents reads 'varies' where they disagree.

11 vendors, 22 documents.
