Read moreWhat holds true everywhere
- Under NDA. Each conversation starts with an NDA.
- Originals stay where they are. In their place, License Your Data prepares a de-identified copy.
- Placeholders. Names and identifiers are replaced before anything leaves.
- Exclusions you choose. Keep out whichever system, folder, client or matter you want.
- A sample first. It needs your approval before any release.
Not seeing your sector?
The form also covers freight and 3PL, distribution, manufacturing, insurance, finance, law, professional services and an Other option. Each keeps years of email, files and tool history.
Policyholder data and customer account data stay out for insurers and financial firms. If you run a law firm, scope is settled with you and your counsel, and client data is kept out. We do not give legal advice.
What each sector page covers
- Which records count. The everyday files and threads that show how work is done in that line of business.
- The first worry. What owners in that sector ask about first, and how it gets handled.
- What you can hold back. Items specific to the sector you can exclude, on top of the rules that apply everywhere.
Your sector and your number
Two answers drive your range: team size and years in business. The form asks for your sector in question three. It gives License Your Data context before the call and never changes the estimate.
In every sector the useful part is the same: a team that has worked in the same tools for several years and left a written record of real work.
Read the page closest to yours, then start with your team size below. The specialist who calls will already have your answers, so the 15-minute call can stay on your own tools and exclusions.
