Collections are scoped to demographic, language and compliance requirements. Sales-led and quote-only; an enterprise REST API (OAuth2 client credentials) lets account holders clone project templates, upload prompts, track status and download deliverables.",

The site says every dataset is 'fully consented, copyright-cleared, and privacy-compliant' (GDPR, HIPAA). Use is for internal business operations only (\u00a71(c)), and on termination (60 days' notice, or breach) the licensee must delete or return all copies of the data (\u00a78), despite the FAQ calling the licence perpetual.
