We partner with organizations and individuals to make their data available through Mozilla Data Collective. You can share openly, using existing licenses like Creative Commons, or you can build your own. You can open up your data for everyone, or just for some types of downloaders, you can set custom constraints, ask for exchange, compensation or recognition. You can govern it as an individual, a co-operative, a trust or something else. After all, it’s your data. The people who access your datasets are authenticated, and held in legally binding contracts, and we have a number of dataset protection features. If you are interested in hosting data on Mozilla Data Collective, please reach out to us at mozilladatacollective@mozillafoundation.org.
