How it works

1
Tell us
What data you hold, or what data you need, and for what purpose.
2
Assess and prepare
We check the source, the lawful basis and the quality, then de-identify or aggregate the data.
3
Agree the terms
A written licence sets the dataset, the permitted uses, duration, territory and security rules.
4
Deliver securely
Encrypted delivery, with access logs and a record of where every dataset came from.

Built on trust

Data about people is handled with the care it needs, in line with Cameroon's personal data protection rules and, where they apply, the GDPR and the laws of the data's country.

De-identified by default

Names, ID numbers, phone numbers, addresses and anything else that points to a person are removed before data leaves its holder.

A lawful basis for every dataset

Consent, contract or another legal basis is checked and recorded for each source before anything is licensed.

Use limited by contract

Licensees may only use data for the purposes written in their licence, and may not try to re-identify anyone.

Secure delivery and audit

Encrypted transfer, access control and a provenance record for every dataset and every licence.

Sensitive data reviewed separately

Health, financial and other sensitive data goes through an extra review, and is aggregated when individual records are not needed.

Children's data excluded

Data about minors is not accepted through normal intake.

FAQ

Do you sell personal data?

No. We license de-identified or aggregated datasets under written terms. Data that identifies a person is not passed on.

We hold data. Do we lose control of it?

No. You approve each licence, the uses it allows and how long it lasts. The data stays yours.

What data are you most interested in?

Data that helps build AI and services for Africa: health, finance, education, agriculture, language and voice, and consumer data across the sectors above.

How do you remove what identifies people?

Direct identifiers are removed or replaced, rare combinations are generalised, and small groups are aggregated. Each dataset is checked before it is released.

Where are you based?

Opesware Technologies is in Bonamoussadi, Douala, Cameroon, and works with partners across Africa.
