You decide where the line sits.

Your records remain your own

Your records and systems stay yours. 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.

Walk away at any stage ahead of signing and you will have shared nothing and owe nothing.

Sensitive data is left out or de-identified

Sensitive data can be excluded or de-identified before anything is shared. So you can drop entire categories, like payroll or HR files, and have identifying details removed from the rest.

• Remove any system, folder, team or date range
• De-identify names and contact details inside records that stay in scope
• Set other items aside as off limits while you scope

No step happens without your sign-off

Not one record is shared before the scope has your approval. Before that point there is an estimate, a call and a conversation, and that is all. You are free to walk away at any stage until you sign, and the estimate itself carries no obligation.

Originals, passwords and the sample

Nothing original ever moves out of your systems. Nobody will ever ask for or share a password or login. A separate copy is prepared by License Your Data, with placeholders in place of names and identifiers, and nothing goes out until you approve a sample. The whole process runs under NDA and is free for you.

Client and patient data at regulated firms

Law firms, accounting firms and healthcare organizations keep records that belong to the clients and patients they serve. For these firms, scope is decided with the firm and its counsel, and client and patient data stays out. We do not give advice on whether licensing is legal for your firm.

Questions to bring to the call

Come with a list of questions you care about. Good questions to raise during scoping include:

• The exact systems and date ranges in the proposed scope
• How records left in scope get de-identified
• Where the license starts and where it stops
• Which people at your company must sign off before sharing
