The process
One quick call, a de-identified copy, and a license
First comes your estimate. What follows is three steps, and nothing moves without your yes.
Begin my estimate- 1
A 15-minute conversation
A License Your Data specialist goes over your tools, your years of records and what to leave out.
- 2
A copy without identities
License Your Data prepares a copy with placeholders in place of names and identifiers. You sign off on a sample first.
- 3
Buyers license it
Through License Your Data, buyers license the copy you approved. Your original records stay where they are.
The estimate comes first
The estimate is how you begin. It asks about team size, years in business and the kind of business you run, and your indicative range moves with each answer. Industry is used for matching and never alters the number.
When it is sent, expect a call from License Your Data within minutes to set up the 15-minute call. The range you see is indicative and based on your answers. It is not an offer or guarantee.
Your 15-minute call
It is a practical conversation, kept short on purpose. Most calls cover:
- The software your team relies on
- How many years of history they hold
- Anything to leave out, by client, matter, folder or system
- Anyone else who should be involved
The call is under NDA from the start. When records are not a fit, you will hear that directly.
Preparing the copy
Your systems are left as they are. License Your Data works only on a copy of what you agree to, and no password is ever requested. In that copy, the names of people and companies are replaced with placeholders, and other identifiers such as addresses and account numbers go the same way.
A sample is shown to you before anything goes out. Anything that looks wrong is corrected or dropped.
How licensing works
When you approve, buyers license the de-identified copy through License Your Data. The license covers that agreed copy for agreed uses. You keep running your business on your originals, and it costs you nothing.
What is shared and what is not
Shared after your approval
- The tools and date ranges you agree, de-identified
- The flow of the work, from requests to decisions to handoffs
- Names and identifiers swapped for placeholders
Never shared
- The originals themselves
- Any password, key or login
- Patient and client data kept by regulated firms
- Card numbers and bank details
- Whatever you leave out
