What stays out
Your scope, your limits. The originals never move.
Straight answers to what owners ask before replying: originals, passwords, the sample, placeholders, NDA and cost.
See my estimateBefore you reply, the usual questions
- Do we pay anything?
- Nothing. There is no cost to you, and an estimate creates no obligation.
- Do you sign an NDA?
- Yes. Everything starts under NDA.
- How do you deal with names?
- People, clients, companies, addresses and account numbers are all swapped for placeholders.
- Do our originals leave our systems?
- No. Originals never leave your systems. License Your Data prepares a de-identified copy of what is in scope.
- Is it possible to hold things back?
- Yes. Any system, folder, client or matter, with no reason needed.
- Will we be asked for passwords?
- No. Nobody asks for, or receives, a password or login.
- Do we get to review anything first?
- Yes. A sample of the prepared copy comes to you for approval, and nothing is shared until then.
Placeholders, explained
De-identification replaces anything that points to a person or account, like names, email addresses, phone numbers and account numbers, with placeholders. What remains is how the work went: requests, steps and decisions.
Before approving, you review the outcome in the sample. Any record you are not happy with after cleaning can simply be left out.
Out in every case
- Client records held by law and accounting practices.
- Patient records held by healthcare providers.
- Customer account data at financial firms, and policyholder data at insurers.
- Whatever you have not signed off on.
Out if you say so
Exclusions can cover a department, a mailbox, a folder, a client, a matter, a date range or a full system. No reason is required. Leaving out a set of records you are unsure about is always possible.
Plenty of owners begin with just one or two systems and expand the scope only after seeing the sample.
Regulated practices
If you run a law, accounting or healthcare practice, scope is settled with you and your counsel, and client or patient data is kept out. We give no legal advice, and we never tell a practice that licensing is permitted for it.
The details you give us
We use what you enter in the estimate form to prepare your estimate and to contact you about it. Read the Privacy Policy for everything, or opt out through the Do not sell or share page.
