[DL1]Possible to add "de-identified" in this section? [AC2]Numanac: we do not recommend adding this limitation, since having Users own their Individual Data is appropriate (furthermore, having Users only own their de-identified Individual Data would also not be appropriate); as drafted, Numanac has a broad license to use the Individual Data as it sees fit, including only by using de-identified data - limiting this license only to de-identified Individual Data unnecessarily constrains Numanac [DL3]Apologies for the confusion - I was requesting for de-identified to be added in the sentence, "and otherwise use any Individual Data". Since farmers we have spoken to have been very vocal about privacy concerns, we want to signal that we will only utilized/distribute de-identified individual data. [AC4]Numanac: understood. Please see our changes, which preserves Numanac’s broad legal right to use Individual Data, but also adds a separate contractual commitment to only use de-identified or aggregated data. This way, there is no IP remedy (which has the potential for treble damages), and only a contractual remedy (single damages only).
