Using AskBiz for Client Work
You may use AskBiz to analyse data and generate insights on behalf of your clients (e.g. as a business consultant, accountant, or agency), provided:
- You have written authorisation from your client to process their data using AskBiz
- You have informed your client that AskBiz (and its sub-processors, including Anthropic's Claude API) will process their data
- You have a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) in place with your client that covers AskBiz as a sub-processor
- The client's data is not commingled with other clients' data in your AskBiz account in ways that could cause cross-contamination of insights
AskBiz's DPA (available from Account Settings → Privacy → Download DPA) covers our obligations as your data processor. You are responsible for your obligations as data controller toward your clients.
What You Cannot Do Commercially
Without a separate written agreement with AskBiz, you may not:
- Resell AskBiz — you cannot charge third parties for access to AskBiz as if it were your own product
- White-label AskBiz — you cannot rebrand AskBiz and present it as your own analytics platform
- Build a competing service — you cannot use AskBiz access to reverse-engineer our methodology and build a competing product
- Multi-tenant sub-licensing — you cannot create multiple sub-accounts under your account for different clients without a specific enterprise agreement
- API resale — you cannot expose the AskBiz API to third parties as part of a commercial product without an enterprise API agreement
If you are interested in any of the above, contact hello@askbiz.co to discuss partnership or enterprise arrangements.
Building Internal Tools with the API
You may use the AskBiz API (Business plan) to build internal tools for your own business — for example, embedding your Business Pulse score in your internal dashboard, or triggering AskBiz analysis from your own workflow automation.
This is permitted provided:
- The tool is for internal use within your own organisation
- You do not expose the API key or API endpoints to external parties
- The tool does not effectively create a multi-tenant AskBiz service for other businesses
For tools serving 50+ internal users, or any tool that will be used by external parties, contact hello@askbiz.co for an enterprise API assessment.
