Data exchange on a distributed computing system

A system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a request, from a user, to access a dataset;
• in response to receiving the request, providing a secure link to the dataset via an electronic message sent to a client device of the user;
• and
• in response to detecting activation of the secure link:
• authenticating the user or the client device based on a policy constraint associated with the dataset;
• and
• based on authenticating the user or the client device, providing streaming access to the dataset in real-time.

A machine-storage medium having instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by at least one processor of a machine, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a request, from a user, to access a dataset;
• in response to receiving the request, providing a secure link to the dataset via an electronic message sent to a client device of the user, and
• in response to detecting activation of the secure link:
• authenticating the user or the client device based on a policy constraint associated with the dataset;
• and
• based on authenticating the user or the client device, providing streaming access to the dataset in real-time.
