Your data. Your call.
Nothing is shared until you approve it, you set the scope, and sensitive data stays out.

Common things to rule out
You build this list during scoping. These are the usual ones, and you are free to add more.
- Client and patient data at law, accounting and healthcare practices.
- Bank, card and government ID numbers.
- Passwords, keys and other access credentials.
- Health information about anyone.
- Whatever mailbox, folder, channel or date range you leave out.
Your choices
Decisions that stay with you
During scoping you can include or exclude whole systems, narrow by date, leave out specific people or teams, and flag topics that should never be part of a licence. You can also choose not to go ahead at all.
An estimate request shares nothing beyond what you type into the form. Nothing in your systems is accessed at that stage.
How de-identification works in practice
To de-identify a record, the details that identify a specific person or company are replaced or removed, and the work itself stays intact. The thread still shows a customer requesting a revised quote and getting it, but not who they were or how to reach them.
Which details are removed, and which records are left out completely, is part of the scope you review with your License Your Data specialist. Anything that should never leave your company, in any form, is excluded.
What the form collects
The estimate asks for your team size, years in business, business type, your name, company, work email, mobile number and website. That is everything. A consent box appears before you submit, and it stays unticked unless you tick it. How those details are used and shared with License Your Data is set out in our privacy policy.
Regulated businesses
If you run a law firm, accounting practice or healthcare business, scope is decided with you and your counsel, and client or patient data stays out. Whether licensing is legal or right for your practice is not something we advise on. You and your advisers make that call.
Left out or de-identified
Before anything is shared, sensitive data like private individuals' names, contact details, card and account numbers and health information can be excluded or de-identified.
Signed off by you
The scope needs your approval, covering systems, date ranges and record types. What you do not approve stays out.
Still yours
Licensing does not remove your records or your systems. You keep your originals and carry on working as usual.
