Set aside after reading
6 named documents were read and left out because they are not what this board covers; each reason is below. They are counted, never answered.
- Protege: a cookie banner and menu; the stored read carries no intake terms
- Monda / Gulp Data: a valuation calculator page that states no record types or data handling
- Opendatabay: a marketplace of finished datasets by modality, not a door for a company's own records
- FileYield: a third-party list of data buyers, not a door's own page
- Fortune: a news report on a bankruptcy data sale, not a door's own page
- Axios: a news report on a bankruptcy data sale, not a door's own page
The method in full
Each door's own intake and data-partnership pages were read through estate-fetch and stored whole (sha256 on every row).
For every page, five questions were answered from its own words: takes email and chat, takes documents and files, takes CRM and support tickets, takes code, what happens to personal data.
Every stated answer carries the sentence it rests on, checked against the stored text; 'not stated' means the page read does not address the question.
A door with several pages reads 'varies' where they disagree.
11 doors, 13 pages.
Not read yet, so not counted: 4 named documents.
