To provide a fair estimate of your dataset's value, we need a sample before an offer can be made. This data is submitted after the qualification survey through our secure "Gulp Data Valuation" app. The subset should be large enough to be representative of the full dataset and shouldn't be cherry-picked. We will also request that you describe the data with qualitative and quantitative information such as age, completeness, total size, type of data, and any other relevant identifiers you feel are important.
Any data you submit, including samples and backups held in escrow, are treated with an intense focus on security. We adhere to the strictest global standards and can comply with additional company-specific requirements upon request. Your data is stored in a fully encrypted form and is never mixed in any way with other client data while vaulted. All agreements and processes are designed with client rights, privacy, and security in mind.
During onboarding, initial consistency and integrity tests are performed on the full dataset to make sure the valuation is accurate. Our proprietary client software is then added to your local environment to process daily health checks and escrow snapshots. Gulp Data’s vault is designed to protect your data from anyone — even us — through the entire lending lifecycle.
After the loan is paid off, your data, including backups and samples, is irreversibly deleted from all custodian infrastructure. In the case of any financial hardship, we work with clients to provide flexible forbearance options.
