Questions about the steps
Does any step cost money?
No. The estimate, the call and the preparation of the copy cost you nothing, and asking commits you to nothing.
Do I need IT on the call?
No. The person who runs your systems can join later if you choose to go ahead.
Our team is under 20 people. Should we still ask?
The usual fit is 20 or more full-time staff and at least 3 years in business. Teams under that size with years of records may still qualify, so it is worth submitting.
Is it possible to pause midway?
Yes. Until you approve the sample, nothing goes out.
Before anything: 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.
Once your answers are in, a specialist from License Your Data, our licensing partner, phones within minutes to book a 15-minute call when it suits you.
Step one: a 15-minute call
A short conversation about your company. The tools your team has used, how many years of records they contain, and what you already know has to stay out. There is nothing to sign or send, and from this point everything is covered by 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 look over a sample and approve it before anything goes out.
Step three: buyers license the copy
AI labs license the de-identified copy to train and test their models. Nothing is in it that you did not approve. Your company keeps running just as it did.
