Shared
What is shared, as a copy only
- Records from only the systems and years you selected.
- The flow of the work: requests, revisions, handoffs, fixes.
- Each name and identifier replaced by a placeholder.
Never shared
- Your original files and the systems they sit in.
- Passwords, logins or access to your tools.
- Real names, contact details or account numbers.
- Any system, folder, client or matter you rule out.
Step zero: the estimate
The estimate page asks four things first: your headcount, years in business, business type and how to reach you. A range shows next to the questions and updates as you answer. Indicative estimate based on your answers. Not an offer or guarantee.
After you submit, a License Your Data specialist, our licensing partner, calls within minutes to set up a 15-minute call at a time that works for you.
Step one: a short call
A short conversation about your company. Which tools your team has worked in, how many years of history they hold, and what you already know must stay out. Nothing to sign and nothing to send, and everything from here on sits under an NDA.
Step two: the de-identified copy
A copy of the agreed records is prepared by License Your Data. No one asks for a password, and your originals never leave your systems. Names and identifiers are swapped for placeholders, and every system, folder, client or matter you excluded is left out. You review a sample and approve it before anything is sent.
Step three: buyers license the copy
AI labs license that de-identified copy to train and test their models. It holds only what you approved. Day to day, your business runs exactly as before.
Common questions about the steps
Is anything charged along the way?
No. You pay nothing for the estimate, the call or the copy, and asking creates no obligation.
Does IT need to be on the call?
No. Your systems person can come in later, once you decide to proceed.
We have fewer than 20 employees. Is it worth asking?
Most companies that fit have 20 or more full-time staff and 3 or more years in business. Smaller teams with years of history may still qualify, so submit and ask.
Is it possible to pause midway?
Yes. Nothing goes out until you approve the sample.
