What goes out, as a copy
- Records from the systems and years you chose.
- The shape of the work: requests, changes, handoffs and fixes.
- Placeholders in place of every name and identifier.
Never included
- The original files and systems themselves.
- Passwords, logins or any access to your tools.
- Actual names, contact information and account numbers.
- Any system, folder, client or matter you exclude.
Common questions about the process
Is there a cost at any stage?
No. The estimate, the call and the preparation of the copy are free to you, and asking commits you to nothing.
Do I need IT on the call?
No. Whoever runs your systems can join later if you decide to go ahead.
Our team is under 20 people. Is it still worth a try?
The typical fit is 20 or more full-time staff and 3 or more years in business. Smaller teams with years of history may still qualify, so submit and ask.
Can we stop partway through?
Yes. Nothing is sent until you approve the sample.
Step zero: the estimate
The estimate page asks four things first: your headcount, years in business, business type and how to reach you. A range shows next to the questions and updates as you answer. Indicative estimate based on your answers. Not an offer or guarantee.
Once your answers are in, a specialist from License Your Data, our licensing partner, phones within minutes to book a 15-minute call when it suits you.
Step one: a short call
A short talk about your company. Which tools your team has worked in, how many years of history they hold, and what you already know must stay out. There is nothing to sign or send, and from this point everything is covered by an NDA.
Step two: a de-identified copy
License Your Data makes a copy of the records you agreed to. Your originals never leave your systems, and nobody asks for a password. Names and identifiers are swapped for placeholders, and every system, folder, client or matter you excluded is left out. You review a sample and approve it before anything is sent.
Step three: buyers license the copy
The de-identified copy is licensed by AI labs for training and testing models. Nothing is in it that you did not approve. Your business carries on exactly as before.
