Security questions
Do the originals ever leave our own systems?
No. License Your Data builds its own copy of just the records you chose to include. The original files remain in place.
Which things can stay out?
Anything. A whole system, a folder, a client or a matter. You set exclusions before the copy is prepared.
Is there an NDA?
Yes. It all begins under NDA, ahead of you describing anything about your business.
How do you deal with names?
The copy swaps people, clients, companies, account details, addresses and other identifiers for placeholders.
Is there a cost to us for this?
No. There is no cost to you.
Do we see the data before it goes?
Yes. You review a sample of the prepared copy and approve it before anything goes out.
Do we need to hand over passwords or access?
No. Nobody asks for passwords, logins or system access, at any step.
Excluding records
You can exclude a system, a folder, a team, a client or a span of years. If you are unsure whether something belongs, the simple default is to leave it out and revisit it later. Law, accounting and healthcare firms agree on scope together with their lawyers, and client and patient records are left out. We never offer advice on the legality of licensing for any firm.
Other questions
Who will call once I submit the form?
A specialist at License Your Data, the partner that handles licensing, within minutes, to set up a 15-minute call.
Does my industry change the range?
No. Your years in business and team size determine it.
Does the range count as an offer?
No. Any actual number rests on what you put in scope. Indicative estimate based on your answers. Not an offer or guarantee.
What kind of company fits?
Usually 20 or more full time staff and three or more years in business. A smaller team with a long history can still qualify.
