Records explainer · 15 November 2026
Which records can qualify
Start with company-owned operational records and the authority to license them. A useful system or file type does not, by itself, make a collection eligible or safe to share.

Start with micro1's company criteria
Built for companies from 30 staff — SMEs first. For operating companies, micro1's screening includes 2+ years in business and 70%+ English data. Criteria are micro1's and can change.
A multi-office firm is one example, not the only fit. The buyer reviews the company and the proposed records; this page does not approve an export. Nordic MarTech is an independent referrer; we may receive a referral fee and you pay nothing.
Slack and Microsoft Teams: operational conversations
micro1's Defunct track names Substantial Microsoft Teams or Slack data, with 30+ staff at peak and English records. This is a separate track for companies no longer operating, not automatic acceptance of any chat archive.
Illustrative: project channels may show how work was coordinated and decisions were recorded. Private conversations, HR discussions and personal information need separate review. Do not export a workspace simply because it contains operational channels.
Documents: how the business works
Operational manuals, procedures, knowledge bases, project histories and quality-assurance records can describe how work is done. Identify who created the material and whether the company has the rights and authority to license it.
Illustrative: an internal process manual can be considered separately from confidential client attachments or third-party licensed material. Keeping them in the same folder does not give the company the same rights in both.
Tickets: workflow context, not blanket eligibility
Illustrative: support or project tickets can connect an issue, discussion, work steps and resolution. They can also contain customer identities, credentials, attachments and confidential details.
Treat tickets as a record type to discuss with the buyer, not a published promise that every ticket system qualifies. Review ownership, contractual restrictions and personal data before agreeing any scope.
Employee data is the sensitive part
Names, work email addresses, direct messages and information about performance, health or personal circumstances can identify employees. Operational context does not remove those privacy obligations.
Employee data needs de-identification before any agreed training use, alongside the required lawful basis, notices, consent where needed and the buyer's written safeguards. Removing names alone may not prevent identification from roles, dates or context. Do not describe de-identification as legal clearance.
We never touch personal data in company records; the buyer handles consent and anonymisation. Do not send records here for cleaning or review. Take your own advice about the proposed processing and transfers.
Closed companies: check authority before systems close
An authorised liquidator, administrator, trustee, receiver or former director with authority can explore a possible extra asset for creditors. Keep your records reachable while you decide; do not transfer them before authority and scope are established.
Personal data in insolvency estates needs its own lawful basis; your officeholder and the buyer decide.
Mode comes second: its own exclusions apply
Mode introductions here are warm only. The exclusions below are recorded from Mode's public terms, not presented as micro1's contractual exclusions. Nordic MarTech is an independent referrer; we may receive a referral fee and you pay nothing.
- health information
- payment card or financial account data
- children's information
- biometrics
- audio or video recordings of individuals
- images of individuals
- other regulated data
Excluded information does not become eligible merely because names are removed. Mode describes a de-identified sample before customer release; confirm the scope and safeguards in the signed agreement. Check Mode's own pages for its current terms.
micro1 company criteria recorded 14 November 2026. Mode public terms dated 1 October 2026; programme sources checked 12 November 2026. Page publication does not constitute a fresh legal review.
