Consultant Responsibilities
Limited Role Access
The consultant role on MoreThanDigital Insights is deliberately designed with limited access to uphold data integrity. Consultants are not permitted to own company entities on the platform unless they are official employees of the company in question.
It is imperative for consultants to invite official company representatives to own and manage the company profile, ensuring proper governance and authorization.
Protecting Company Information
Consultants play a crucial role in safeguarding the confidentiality of company data. It is your responsibility to ensure that access to sensitive information is strictly controlled and that exposure to internal company details is limited to authorized personnel only.
The unauthorized disclosure of company information, including status reports or analytics, could have significant repercussions on a company’s market valuation, stock performance, and competitive positioning. As such, MoreThanDigital Insights disclaims any liability for the misuse or unauthorized distribution of data generated on the platform.

MoreThanDigital Insights ensures the safety and integrity of data on the platform. By default, consultants are restricted from modifying data, emphasizing the principle that company owners retain full control and rights over their data entities. This approach guarantees that sensitive information remains protected by design and by default.
