# Raw Data Access

In addition to the [online dashboards](https://guides.clickatell.com/chat-commerce-platform/data-and-analytics/dashboards-in-clickatell-portal), clients can also retrieve raw data from a secure server, enabling you to analyze and apply your own insights in your environment and keep the history in your data lakes.

The raw data is supplied as standardized, templated sets of data elements referred to as "data templates". *Data Templates* are generic datasets created for each application and normalized for clients' easy consumption. You can download these sets of raw data (CSV files) from a Clickatell-hosted cloud SFTP server. 

The **weekly** Data Sharing service is included as standard in all packages. You can [upgrade ](https://guides.clickatell.com/chat-commerce-platform/platform-packages/upgrades-and-extras)to a higher frequency delivery at an **additional cost**. The table below describes the options available.

### The Data Sharing service includes:

* A set of standard **data templates** based on the package purchased. Each template includes a standard set of data elements. Data can be downloaded on a fixed schedule based on the selected delivery frequency.&#x20;
* The associated **manifest file** containing a summary view of the data in each template (if downloads occur daily or more frequently – see below).&#x20;
* A **data dictionary** with detailed definitions of each data element and possible values.&#x20;
* One setup per account – setup includes automatic mapping of datasets and pipeline augmentation based on package selection.

### Delivery Conditions

&#x20;A detailed Data Sharing Agreement between Clickatell and you, the client, outlines the terms and conditions for data sharing. This establishes clear guidelines to ensure the responsible and ethical use of the shared data and to protect the interests of all parties involved.&#x20;
