FAQ and security

Clear answers before you begin.

What happens to your originals, who sees what and what you sign off on. Plus the essentials about the estimate.

Security and data handling

Will our original files leave our systems?: No. Your original files stay put. Only a separate de-identified copy, prepared by License Your Data, is licensed.
Do you need our passwords?: No. Passwords and logins are never requested or shared, at any point.
Can we see what goes out before it is sent?: Yes. You approve a sample of the de-identified copy before anything is sent. Nothing moves if the sample is wrong.
How are names and identifiers handled?: They are swapped for placeholders. A thread still shows that a customer asked for a revised quote, but not who the customer was.
Can we exclude things?: Yes. You can exclude any system, folder, client or matter, for any reason.
Is an NDA in place?: Yes. An NDA is in place before any detail about your records is discussed.
How much does it cost us?: Nothing. Every step is free to you.

Our business is a law, accounting or healthcare practice. Is this open to us?: Scope is decided with you and your counsel, and client or patient data is kept out. Whether licensing is legal or right for your practice is not something we advise on.
How do I stop calls or texts?: Reply STOP to any text, or use the Do not sell or share page linked at the foot of every page.

What decides my range?: Your starting range comes from team size, and years in business fine tune it. Industry never affects the figure.
Is the range an offer?: No. The range is an indicative estimate based on what you told us. Real value depends on buyer interest and a review of your records.

Who is this meant for?: Most companies that fit have 20 or more full-time staff, 3 or more years in business and records in Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, a CRM or an ERP. Teams under that size with years of records can still qualify.
How long does the estimate take?: About a minute. Four quick questions, and your range changes as you answer.
Who gets in touch after I send it?: A specialist from License Your Data, our licensing partner, usually within minutes, to set up a 15-minute call.
Does asking for an estimate open our systems to anyone?: No. The form collects only the answers and contact details you type in. Nothing in your systems is touched.
Can more than one person join the call?: Yes. Many owners bring along a partner, operations lead or adviser, especially when scope comes up.
