Security and FAQ

The answers owners need first

Before replying, owners want to know what becomes of their files. So we start there, then cover the estimate and what comes after it.

Security comes first

Do our original files leave our systems?: Never. The originals stay with you. What gets licensed is only a de-identified copy made by License Your Data.
How are names and identifiers handled?: In the copy, placeholders replace them. The work stays clear while the people disappear.
Do you need our passwords?: No. Nobody asks for a password, and none is ever shared. That is true at every stage.
Can we leave things out?: Yes. Any system, folder, client or matter can be excluded. What to exclude is up to you.
Do we get to see what goes out?: Yes, entirely. You approve a sample of the copy before anything goes out. Without your approval, there is no copy.
Do we sign an NDA?: Yes, entirely. Everything starts under NDA, and nothing is shared until you approve.
Does it cost us anything?: No. It costs you nothing, from the estimate onward.

What do you ask?: How big your team is, how long you have operated and what you do, and then how to reach you. That is all.
What changes the range?: Headcount and time in business. Your industry helps match buyers but does not change the number.
What kind of company fits?: Businesses with 20 or more full-time staff and 3 or more years behind them. Smaller teams with years of history may qualify too.
Is the range a promise?: No. Indicative estimate based on your answers. Not an offer or guarantee. The final number rests on buyer interest and a review of the records.

Who gets in touch?: License Your Data, our licensing partner, has a data specialist phone you within minutes to arrange a 15-minute call.
We are a law, accounting or healthcare firm. Is this open to us?: You and your counsel decide the scope, and no client or patient data goes in. We stay out of legal advice.
What if my company does not fit yet?: The form will tell you. If you are under the bar today, we will be in touch if a buyer fits your business.
Can I change my mind later?: Yes, at any step before signing. Sharing waits for your approval.
