8. Dataset Licensing & Privacy

Retail Image Dataset

In addition to standard website usage, Grocery Insight Limited operates a proprietary rights-managed image dataset (“Retail Image Dataset”), which is available for license to commercial and academic partners.

The Retail Image Dataset:

  • Contains only non-personal, in-store retail photographs

  • Was captured lawfully in public-access retail environments

  • Is curated to exclude personally identifiable information (PII)

  • May contain incidental human presence, but this is non-identifiable and not the subject of capture

We do not collect, process, or license personal data as part of this dataset.

All dataset-related activity is conducted under the lawful basis of legitimate interest (UK GDPR, Article 6(1)(f)) and is strictly for analytical, AI training, benchmarking, and research purposes.

Storage & Security

All dataset files are securely stored using a combination of encrypted cloud infrastructure and on-premise storage. Access is restricted to authorized personnel and protected using multi-factor authentication, role-based permissions, and routine backups. Encryption is applied at rest and in transit.

Licensing

Access to the Retail Image Dataset is granted only via formal Dataset License Agreements. Website visitors and general users are not granted access to or rights over this content unless otherwise contracted.
