Everything on DataVendor belongs to an organization, never a personal account: listings, inventory, purchases, the wallet, and API keys. An organization is a HUD team, so the same team works on the HUD platform.

​
Marketplace roles

An organization chooses its role in organization setup, at Sell data or Buy data. One organization can hold both roles. It then switches between its vendor and buyer views with the Vendor and Buyer tabs at the bottom of the sidebar.

​
Members and admins

Open Settings → Members to invite teammates with Invite, see Pending invitations, and Remove people. Each member is a Member or a Team admin; a team admin can change another person’s role from the same list, but not their own. Members work in the workspace on the organization’s behalf: they manage inventory and listings, browse, and collect purchases. Moving money or making a deal needs a team admin:
  • buying, sample checkout, and placing or completing a bid;
  • sending or cancelling an invoice, and saving billing details;
  • accepting or rejecting a bid on your listing;
  • converting earnings to credits and withdrawing them.
Members see those actions disabled with Ask a team admin to complete this action.

​
The Mutual NDA

Each person accepts the Mutual NDA before the workspace opens. Acceptance belongs to the person, not the organization, so every member accepts it, and everyone accepts again when a new version is published. Buyers and vendors accept the same NDA. You can read it at datavendor.ai/legal/mutual-nondisclosure-agreement.

​
Agreements and documents

Signed paperwork is kept in two places, each with Download for a copy:

​
Notifications

The bell in the sidebar shows in-app notifications; See all notifications opens the full list. They cover bids received, accepted, rejected, or withdrawn, new listings submitted to your opportunities, and new or updated opportunities you can respond to. Vendor organizations also get email at key moments: when vendor access or Tier 2 is granted, when a listing goes live or fails quality checks, and when an opportunity you can see opens or closes. After the first listing email of a day, the rest arrive as a digest the next morning (UTC).

​
Vendor tiers

Vendor organizations also carry a tier, which decides whether they can see buyer opportunities. See Vendor tiers.

​
More than one organization

Create another organization from the organization switcher with Add organization. Each one goes through its own setup and holds its own roles, listings, and wallet.

​
API keys

A team API key from HUD Settings → API Keys acts as the organization on the buyer API, the vendor API, and the MCP server. See Using the API.
