                                                                                                                                                                                                        • Data Consumers are third parties who are interested in a Data Provider’s data asset listed in the Marketplace.
                                                                                                                                                                                                        • Databricks plays several roles in the Marketplace. We host each Data Provider’s listing and facilitate the introduction between Data Providers and Data Consumers.

                                                                                                                                                                                                        The Databricks Marketplace offers Data Providers the ability to list their data asset(s), which can be made available either through “instant access” or “by request”:

                                                                                                                                                                                                        • “Instant access”: The Data Consumer must accept the Data Provider’s terms of service prior to accessing the data set.
                                                                                                                                                                                                        • “By request”: Databricks shares the contact information of the Data Consumer with the Data Provider. No Data Assets are shared unless the Data Provider chooses to share.

                                                                                                                                                                                                        For “by request” listings, the Data Provider and Data Consumer negotiate terms outside the Databricks Marketplace. Once an agreement is reached, the Data Provider will use Databricks Delta Sharing to share the data asset(s) with the Data Consumer.

                                                                                                                                                                                                        How does a Data Provider sign up for the Marketplace?

                                                                                                                                                                                                        It’s easy to join the Databricks Marketplace!
