Pick your industry
We have six industry pages. On each one you will find the records that usually qualify there, the first concern owners raise and what you can hold back. Start with the one closest to your business. Not listed? Further down you will find the other types the form covers.

Business-operations records only. Patient data stays out.
Open the pageOne set of rules for all
- NDA first. An NDA is signed before any conversation.
- Originals stay put. License Your Data works from a de-identified copy, and your files stay in your systems.
- Placeholders, not names. Before anything is shared, names and identifiers are swapped out.
- Your exclusions. Leave out any system, folder, client or matter.
- Your sign-off. Nothing is shared until you approve a sample.
Other business types
You can also pick distribution, construction, insurance, finance, professional services, HVAC, home services or Other in the form. All of them hold years of email, files and tool history showing how the work actually happens.
For an insurer or a financial firm, policyholder and customer account data stays out, and the scope focuses on internal process records.
Not seeing your type of business? Pick the nearest option, or Other, in the form. The useful part never changes: several years of a team working in the same software, leaving a written record of real requests, problems and decisions.
Where to go next
Go through the page for your line of work, then begin the estimate form. When the License Your Data specialist calls, they will have your answers already, leaving the 15-minute call for your systems and exclusions.
How industry fits in
Two answers drive your estimate: team size and years in business. Your industry is question three on the form. It helps License Your Data understand your records before the call and never moves the number.
We do not give legal advice. You and your counsel decide, with us, whether and how a law, accounting or healthcare business takes part.
