It offers a wealth of benefits: save costs, access a global network pool, get work done quickly. However, one of the major concerns organizations have while working with freelancers\/remote teams is around trust and safety. <em>How can I be confident of sharing sensitive data with someone I&#8217;ve never met, who is not integrated into my company as a full-time employee?<\/em> <em>How can I make sure my information stays confidential, safe and secure?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Trust plays a key role in all working relationships. While hiring a freelancer, it&#8217;s important that you&#8217;re aware of steps you can take to make sure the experience is built on mutual trust for a successful experience.\u00a0 Here are some tips to help you protect your IP and collaborate with freelancers with full confidence.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Get_legal_protection_for_protectable_assets\"><\/span>1. Get legal protection for protectable assets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Protecting your ideas, products or other aspects of your business by means of copyrights, trademarks and patents is one of the first things to keep in mind when you&#8217;re ready with a new business. You can apply for a patent, register a design, register a trademark. Get to know the laws in the countries you&#8217;re in and\/or are selling in. In some countries, you may need to actively apply for copyright protection (such as India), while in others, you might have copyright protection by default (such as the UK).\u00a0 If you&#8217;re working as an academic or researcher, it&#8217;s important to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wipo.int\/about-ip\/en\/universities_research\/ip_policies\/faqs\/index.html\">familiarize yourself with IP policies<\/a> and whether you have any safeguards in place in case you choose to disclose details in published work before you apply for a patent.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Understand_the_Terms_and_Conditions_involved\"><\/span>2. Understand the Terms and Conditions involved<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Make sure to pay attention to Terms and Conditions involved when you hire a freelancer. Is there a statement or clause around confidentiality and IP protection? Is the owner of Intellectual Property clearly stated?<\/p>\n<p>Kolabtree&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/user-agreement\">Terms and Conditions<\/a> include a default confidentiality clause that protects the IP of the client. According to the Kolabtree&#8217;s T&amp;C:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You grant a freelancer a limited, non-exclusive and revocable right to use your materials solely for the purpose of performing the work required<\/li>\n<li>You reserve all rights without limitation to all Intellectual Property and are the sole and exclusive owner of all IPR<\/li>\n<li>Upon completion of the project, or as per your written request, the freelancer will return all materials and will destroy copies (except for background technology as specified in the service contract)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Kolabtree&#8217;s T&amp;C can be customized by large enterprises who have specific systems in place to integrate freelancers into their systems as verified vendors.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Sign_custom_agreements_or_NDAs\"><\/span>3. Sign custom agreements or NDAs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For added protection, you can share custom agreements to include any custom terms your organizations might require freelancers to adhere to. You can also easily share Non-Disclosure Agreements which legally binds the freelancer to maintain confidentiality about anything work, ideas, material or knowledge that you share. You can share NDAs before disclosing your project details on Kolabtree, after which you can go ahead and discuss the scope of work.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Keep_your_project_private\"><\/span>4. Keep your project private<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Kolabtree allows you to keep your project either Public or Private. If you keep your project Public, all logged-in freelancers will be able to view your project details and send you proposals. Your full project description is never shown publicly on the web or in Google search results.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9880\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/privacy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"987\" height=\"663\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/privacy.jpg 987w, https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/privacy-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/privacy-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/privacy-300x202@2x.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 987px) 100vw, 987px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you keep your project Private, only freelancers you personally choose to invite can view your project details and send you proposals. You always have full control over your project privacy settings and can restrict visibility of details. You can also request the Kolabtree support team for help to invite the best freelancers, whose skills match your requirements.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Categorize_your_projects_by_risk_level\"><\/span>5. Categorize your projects by risk level<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The level of risk varies based on the project, the industry and the kind of work you&#8217;re looking to get done. For example, sharing information about a food product recipe might have a lower risk level as compared to sharing data with personally identifiable information. Understanding the risks upfront can help you take steps to mitigate them. Breaking down large and complex projects into smaller projects can also help you assess the risk involved at each stage and list out specific security measures you may need to take.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Protect_your_files\"><\/span>6. Protect your files<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you share files and collaborate with freelancers online, make sure you take these simple steps to protect your data.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Avoid sharing personally identifiable information as much as possible before you upload data. Make sure you only share data that the freelancer absolutely needs to work on your project.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure healthcare data is compliant with security and safety requirements, such as HIPAA<\/li>\n<li>While sharing files, try to use password protection methods, such as that offered by <a href=\"https:\/\/helpx.adobe.com\/uk\/acrobat\/using\/securing-pdfs-passwords.html\">Adobe for PDFs<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Give restricted access to documents giving user-specific permissions such as those offered by Google Docs or Dropbox<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Know_your_freelancer\"><\/span>7. Know your freelancer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For a successful collaboration, you need to be able to trust the person you&#8217;re working with completely. Though Kolabtree&#8217;s freelancers are manually screened, you can also verify their authenticity and level of expertise by taking the following steps:<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9881\" style=\"width: 777px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9881\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-9881 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Kolabtree-FL-reviews.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"767\" height=\"577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Kolabtree-FL-reviews.jpg 767w, https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Kolabtree-FL-reviews-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Kolabtree-FL-reviews-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Kolabtree-FL-reviews-300x226@2x.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 100vw, 767px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-9881\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Check previous ratings from clients while picking a freelancer<\/p><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Visit their official page in an academic institution or university, if they are in a postdoc, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kolabtree.com\/blog\/ensuring-reproducibility-in-ai-driven-research-how-freelance-experts-can-help-in-biotech-and-healthcare\/\">research<\/a> or teaching position<\/li>\n<li>Visit their LinkedIn profile<\/li>\n<li>Look for alternative profiles online, such as those on Research Gate or Github<\/li>\n<li>Check their list of publications on their Kolabtree profile, which is auto-synced with Orcid<\/li>\n<li>Look for previous client ratings and comments on Kolabtree<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Kolabtree&#8217;s experts are manually screened and adhere to the highest levels of integrity.
