Excluded
Things that never go out
Some things are excluded for everyone. The rest of the list is yours to set.
- The original files and systems themselves.
- Access credentials of any kind, including passwords and keys.
- Actual names and identifiers, which become placeholders.
- Client and patient data in law, accounting and healthcare practices.
- Any system, folder, client or matter you choose to exclude.
Security questions, plainly answered
How does approving a sample work?
You review a sample of the de-identified copy. If it looks right to you, you sign off. Otherwise, nothing goes out.
What happens to names and identifiers?
They are swapped for placeholders. A ticket still shows that a customer reported a fault and it was fixed, without saying who.
Do our original files leave our systems?
No. They stay put. License Your Data works from a separate copy, and only the de-identified copy is licensed.
Can we leave things out?
Yes. Leave out any system, folder, client or matter you choose.
Will this cost us anything?
No. It costs you nothing.
Is there an NDA?
Yes. Everything begins under NDA, before any detail about your records is shared.
Will you need our passwords?
No. Passwords and logins are never requested or shared.
Can we review it before anything goes out?
Yes. You review a sample of the copy and approve it first. If it is not right, nothing is shared.
Does asking for an estimate open our systems to anyone?
No. The form collects only the answers and contact details you type in.
Regulated practices
With law firms, accounting practices and healthcare businesses, you and your counsel decide scope, and client or patient data stays out. We do not advise on whether licensing is legal or appropriate for your practice.
What the estimate form asks for
Headcount, years in business, business type, and your name, company, work email, mobile number and website. A consent box sits above the submit button and starts unticked. See our privacy policy for how those details are used and shared with License Your Data.
What de-identified means here
De-identifying a record means replacing the details that point to a particular person or company with placeholders, while keeping the work itself readable. Before the sample is prepared, you and your License Your Data specialist review which details get replaced and which records stay out completely.
