Never in scope
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.
- Passwords, keys and any other access credentials.
- Real names and identifiers, which are replaced with placeholders.
- Patient and client data in healthcare, law and accounting practices.
- Any system, folder, client or matter you exclude.
Security questions, answered plainly
What happens to names and other identifiers?
They are replaced with placeholders. A ticket still shows that a customer reported a fault and that it was fixed, without saying who the customer was.
Can we leave things out?
Yes. Exclude any system, folder, client or matter you want.
Do our original files leave our systems?
No. They stay where they are. License Your Data works from a separate copy, and only the de-identified copy is licensed.
Is there an NDA?
Yes. An NDA is in place before any detail about your records is shared.
Do we get to see it before it is shared?
Yes. First, you look over a sample of the copy and approve it. If it is not right, nothing goes out.
What does approving a sample involve?
You look through a sample of the de-identified copy. If you are satisfied with it, you approve it. Otherwise, nothing goes out.
Is there any cost to us?
No. It costs you nothing.
Does asking for an estimate give anyone access to our systems?
No. Only the answers and contact details you type into the form are collected.
Do you need our passwords?
No. Passwords and logins are never requested or shared.
Law, accounting and healthcare
For law firms, accounting practices and healthcare businesses, scope is decided with you and your counsel, and client or patient data is kept out. We do not advise on whether licensing is legal or appropriate for your practice.
The details the estimate form asks for
Headcount, years in business, business type, and your name, company, work email, mobile number and website. Above the submit button is a consent box that 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 swapping the details that point to a specific person or company for placeholders, while the work itself stays readable. Before the sample is prepared, you and your License Your Data specialist review which details get replaced and which records stay out completely.
