Security, plus the questions owners raise
Before most owners reply to anyone, they want to know what happens to their data. First the plain answers, then the remaining questions.
Security, briefly
- Your originals stay where they are
- You are never asked for passwords
- A sample gets your approval before anything is shared
- Names and identifiers become placeholders
- Exclude whichever matters, clients, folders or systems you choose
- Everything starts under NDA, and nothing is shared until you approve
- Nothing to pay
Security questions
Is there an NDA?
Yes. An NDA is in place from the start, before you share any detail about your company.
Will our originals ever be moved out of our systems?
No. License Your Data builds its own copy of just the records you chose to include. The original files remain in place.
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.
Is there a cost to us for this?
No. It costs you nothing.
Which things can stay out?
Anything. A full system, a single folder, a client, or one matter. Exclusions are set by you before the copy is made.
Do we need to hand over passwords or access?
No. At no step does anyone ask for passwords, logins or access to systems.
How do you deal with names?
The copy swaps people, clients, companies, account details, addresses and other identifiers for placeholders.
Excluding records
You can exclude a system, a folder, a team, a client or a span of years. If something might not belong, the simplest choice is to keep it out and look at it again later. For any law, accounting or healthcare practice, scope is settled with legal counsel, while patient or client records are kept out. We never offer advice on the legality of licensing for any firm.
Other questions
What kind of company fits?
Usually 20 or more full time staff and three or more years in business. Smaller companies with several years of history might still be a fit.
Will my industry affect the range?
No. Only headcount and age of the business set it.
Is the range an offer?
No. Any real figure depends on the records you put in scope. Indicative estimate based on your answers. Not an offer or guarantee.
Who gets in touch after I submit the form?
A person from our partner License Your Data, within minutes, to arrange a 15-minute call.
Your form details
Whatever you type into the estimate is covered by our Privacy Policy. They are passed to License Your Data so its specialist can call you. You may withdraw from that sharing whenever you like on our Do not sell or share page.
Ask for a range first
You do not have to share any records for the estimate. Three questions are enough.
