The first step
It starts with the estimate form. The form asks your headcount, your years in business and your type of business, then your name, company, work email and mobile. As you answer, your indicative range updates, and there is no charge.
Within minutes of submitting, you get a call from a specialist at License Your Data, our licensing partner, who books the 15-minute call for a time that suits you.
The three steps
- 1
Step one: a 15-minute call
A data specialist from License Your Data talks with you about your company's systems, how many years of records you have and anything you already want left out. An NDA is in place from the start. Nobody asks for a password or a file.

License Your Data prepares a de-identified copy
Working only from the scope you agree, License Your Data prepares a copy of the records in scope. Placeholders take the place of names and identifiers. Your originals never leave your systems, and you approve a sample before anything goes out.
- 3
Buyers license that copy
AI labs license the approved, de-identified copy to train and test their models. They never receive your originals, and your team keeps working in its systems exactly as before.
Who does what
- You. Complete the form, join the 15-minute call, set the scope and sign off on the sample.
- Now Advance With. Puts together your indicative estimate and makes the introduction to our licensing partner.
- License Your Data. Runs the call, prepares the de-identified copy from your scope and arranges the license with buyers.
What gets shared and what never does
What goes out once you sign off
- A de-identified copy of in-scope records, as agreed with you.
- The shape of the work. How requests, replies, steps and decisions unfold, with placeholders instead of names.
- Only what you picked. The systems, folders and date ranges on your list, nothing more.
Never shared
- Your originals. They stay inside your systems.
- Passwords or logins. You never share one, and no one requests one.
- Names and identifiers. Each person, client and account detail is turned into a placeholder.
- Anything you exclude. Whatever system, folder, client or matter you keep out.
If it is not a fit yet
Most companies that fit have 20 or more full-time staff, 3 or more years in business and records kept in business software. A smaller team with years of history may qualify too, so ask anyway.
You pay nothing at any stage, and asking for an estimate commits you to nothing. You are free to stop after the estimate, after the call or once you see the sample.
The first step is a one-minute form.
