THFLR (The Floor), where data deals are made.
Named after the trading floor of the first stock exchange, opened in Amsterdam in 1602. One floor, shared rules and outcomes everyone can trust. THFLR brings that to data.
How it works.
- Rules. Legislation sets the obligations. The legislation owner, such as a ministry or municipality, formalises them in THFLR as rules a computer can check. For a contract: the parties agree the terms of their contract and formalise them in THFLR as rules a computer can check.
- Check. THFLR asks the data providers and users for the facts and evidence it needs and checks them against the rules. Where needed, an authority confirms the facts. The parties never deal with the code behind the rules, only with clear evidence requests.
- Deal. The parties offer and agree a deal. THFLR confirms that it is compliant: who may use which data, for what purpose and on what terms.
- Data flows. The data flows directly between the parties, within their own dataspace, and creates value. THFLR does not store it.
- Evidence. Every decision is recorded. That enables audit and oversight by the supervisory authority, and the evidence is reused for the next deal. For a contract: every decision is recorded. An auditor can check it, and the evidence is reused for the next deal.
Find your role.
Every deal has the same roles. Find yours to see what you get and where to start.
Rule owner
Owns the legislation or regulation, such as a ministry, regulator or dataspace authority.
Compliance with your rules is checked and monitored. Enforcement stays with you.
Start with a FloorData intermediary
A party that brings data providers and users together, such as a data cooperative, marketplace or broker.
Your own Floor, so you can offer one or more deals on top of your platform, with the checks and evidence included.
Start with a FloorData provider
A company, platform or public body that holds data others need.
Prove compliance once and reuse it in every deal.
Start with a Policy CheckData user
An organisation that needs data for a service, a plan or research.
The data you need, on clear conditions you can verify, with far less legal work.
Start with a Deal ProposalAuditor or adviser
A supervisor, auditor, certification body or specialist adviser.
Audit trails you can rely on, and expertise that works across many deals.

Getting started.
From first conversation to first deal in three steps.
1. Intake and interpretation
Tell us which legislation or contract applies and who takes part. Together with our policy service you agree what the rules mean in practice.
2. Policy and environment setup
We set up the policy as rules a computer can check, which you review and approve. If required, we set up your own environment, with login through eHerkenning, users and roles.
3. Execution
Parties supply facts and evidence. THFLR checks them, confirms the deals and monitors them.
A Deal Proposal is shorter, with one fixed price per proposal.
Security and standards.
ISO/IEC 27001
Certified information security. Verify our certificate.
Your data stays with you
We keep only the agreement, signed facts, evidence and an audit log.
Neutral by design
Reviewed by the ACM, the Dutch competition authority: THFLR is not a data intermediary under the Data Governance Act. We provide the floor; we never hold or trade the data.
Hosted in Europe
OVHcloud in the EU, with login through eHerkenning.
Open standards, no lock-in
Open European standards and readable eFLINT policies. Works with any dataspace.
AI with human oversight
We use AI to help us work faster, but our core validation technology is always built with human oversight. Every decision can be explained and traced back to the rule and the evidence.
Preparing a tender, a DPIA or a security review?
We can share our ISO/IEC 27001 certificate, technical documentation and a description of how we process data.
