Security, plus the questions owners raise
Most owners want to know what will happen to their data before they reply to anyone. The plain answers come first, followed by everything else.
Security, briefly
- The originals never move off your systems
- No passwords are ever asked for or shared
- You approve a sample before anything goes out
- Placeholders take the place of names and identifiers
- You can exclude any system, folder, client or matter
- Everything starts under NDA, and nothing is shared until you approve
- Nothing to pay
Security questions
Are our original records ever taken off our servers?
No. License Your Data makes a separate copy containing only the records you picked. Originals stay right where they are.
Does any of this cost us?
No. It costs you nothing.
Will we be asked for passwords or access?
No. At no step does anyone ask for passwords, logins or access to systems.
Is there an NDA?
Yes. An NDA is in place from the start, before you share any detail about your company.
Can we look at the data before it is shared?
Yes. Before anything goes out, you check part of the copy and give your approval.
What happens to names?
In the copy, placeholders replace names and identifiers, for example people, clients, companies, account numbers and addresses.
What can we exclude?
Anything. Whole systems, individual folders, clients or matters. You decide on exclusions before anyone prepares the copy.
What you can leave out
Exclude a period of years, or any system, folder, team or client you like. Unsure about something? The safe choice is to hold it back for now and revisit it down the road. Law, accounting and healthcare firms agree on scope together with their lawyers, and client and patient records are left out. We do not give advice on whether licensing is legal for any firm.
Other questions
Does my type of business change the range?
No. Your years in business and team size determine it.
Which companies usually fit?
In most cases a staff of 20 plus and over three years trading. Teams below that size may qualify if they have years of records.
Is the range an offer?
No. Real figures depend on which records end up in scope. Indicative estimate based on your answers. Not an offer or guarantee.
Who will call once I submit the form?
A person from our partner License Your Data, within minutes, to arrange a 15-minute call.
The details on your form
Information you give in the estimate is handled under our Privacy Policy. We pass them along to License Your Data, whose specialist then calls you. To stop that sharing at any point, use our Opt out of sale or sharing page.
