Introduction > DataBeacon > SafeRunway > Conclusions

Confidence

Safe and secure

A data protection agreement that brings confidentiality and privacy

De-sensitised / de-identification of your data

Verifiable restricted access to known partners

Clear, agreed and auditable use of the data

Identified approval milestones for you to check and agree to proceed
