Marketplaces and platforms: records from closed and closing companies
If you control the assets of a company in the marketplaces and platforms sector that is in administration, liquidation or bankruptcy, its operational records may be licensable. Here is what usually exists, what needs care and how to check fit.
What usually exists
- Trust and safety procedures
- Support tickets across buyers and sellers
- Product documentation
What needs care
- User personal data must be de-identified
- Platform terms may limit use of user content
Employee and HR records always need the most care, whatever the industry.
Systems to look for
- Trust and safety case tools
- Buyer and seller support tickets
- Policy libraries
- Jira and Confluence
- Slack
Export while admin access still works.
SMEs (30 to 249 staff)
- Act within weeks. Software subscriptions lapse after closure and exports disappear with them.
- One person usually knew every system. Get their help with exports before they move on.
Enterprises (250+ staff)
- Start with a data map: systems, owners, years, volumes and where personal data sits.
- Carve out privileged, regulated and client-confidential material before any sample is prepared.
