Keeping your records protected
First the safeguards, in plain language, and then the questions owners ask most. Anything not covered here, email us or raise it on your call.

Every safeguard, step by step
Is there a cost?
Nothing. There is no cost to you, and requesting an estimate creates no obligation.
Do you need our passwords?
No. No passwords are ever asked for or shared, by us or by License Your Data.
Do you sign an NDA?
Yes. It all begins under an NDA, and nothing is shared before you approve.
How are names handled?
Names and identifiers are replaced with placeholders, so the people and companies in your records are not named in the copy.
Do we get to review what goes out?
Yes. You approve a sample before anything goes out. Until you approve, nothing moves.
Do our originals leave our systems?
No. A prepared copy of what you approved is what gets licensed, while the originals stay exactly where they are.
Can we keep certain things out?
Yes. Leave out any system, folder, client or matter you choose.
Regulated businesses
Duties of confidentiality apply to law firms, accounting practices, healthcare providers and financial firms. For them, scope is decided with the business and its own counsel, and client or patient data stays out.
We do not give advice on whether licensing is permitted for your firm. That is a question for your counsel.
FAQ
Common questions
What does it really mean to license my data?
Buyers like AI labs pay to use a de-identified copy of chosen business records for training and testing models. The originals stay yours and in normal use.
How is my estimate worked out?
Team size sets a starting range and years in business adjusts it. The number is the same for every industry. Indicative estimate based on your answers. Not an offer or guarantee.
Can we pull out partway through?
Yes. Stopping is fine at any point before you approve the sample.
Do we need a minimum size?
A typical fit is 20+ full-time staff with 3+ years in business, though smaller teams with a long history may qualify.
How can I stop being contacted?
Visit the do not sell or share page or reply STOP to any of our texts. Our privacy policy describes what we hold on to.
