Pick your industry
There is one page for each of six industries. Each page covers the records that tend to qualify in that line of work, the concern owners raise first and what you can keep back. Pick the page closest to what you do. If none matches, the other business types in the form are listed further down.

See the detailsOne set of rules for all
- NDA first. Every conversation starts under NDA.
- Originals stay put. Nothing original leaves your systems. A de-identified copy is prepared by License Your Data.
- Placeholders, not names. Every name and identifier is replaced ahead of any release.
- Your exclusions. Leave out any system, folder, client or matter.
- Your sign-off. Nothing is shared until you approve a sample.
More types of business
Distribution, construction, insurance, finance, professional services, HVAC and home services are in the form too, along with an Other option. 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.
If your business type is missing, select the closest match or Other on 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.
What to do next
Read the page for your industry, then start 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. The form asks about industry third. The answer helps License Your Data understand your records before calling, but the number stays the same.
We do not offer legal advice. For a law, accounting or healthcare business, whether and how to take part is decided with you and your counsel.
