You decide where the line sits.

Nothing moves without your approval

Not one record is shared before the scope has your approval. Up to then you get a range, one call and a conversation, nothing more. Requesting a range binds you to nothing, and stopping is open to you right up until you sign.

Your records stay yours

You keep your records and your systems. Only the scope you agreed to is covered by a license. You talk through terms with our licensing partner, License Your Data, and you review the scope before signing anything.

Choose to stop at any point before you sign, and no record has gone out and no money is due.

Client and patient data at regulated firms

The records held by accounting practices, law firms and healthcare groups are owned by their clients and patients. For these firms, scope is decided with the firm and its counsel, and client and patient data stays out. We cannot tell you if your firm is legally able to license.

Sensitive data stays out or is de-identified

Sensitive data can be excluded or de-identified before anything is shared. In practice that means you can remove whole categories, such as HR files or payroll, and have identifying details stripped from what remains.

• Remove any system, folder, team or date range
• De-identify names and contact details inside records that stay in scope
• Flag anything else as off limits during scoping

The originals, access and sample review

Your original files stay inside your own systems. You will never be asked to hand over a password or a login. License Your Data prepares a separate copy, with names and identifiers replaced by placeholders, and you approve a sample of it before anything goes out. An NDA covers everything from the start, at no cost to you.

What to ask during the call

Come with a list of questions you care about. Useful things to ask while the scope is set include:

• Exactly which systems and date ranges are in the proposed scope
• The way de-identification works on records that remain in
• What the license permits and what it rules out
• Who inside your company has to approve before anything goes out

How we treat your contact details

What you fill in on the form for an estimate is covered by our Privacy Policy. Opting out of sharing is possible whenever you choose, using the Do not sell or share page.
