You stay in control
Three things that remain in your hands
Putting your records up for license should never mean giving up control. These remain under your control from the first question through the final license.
Your pick of systems
Each tool is considered only if you pick it, one at a time. Leaving chat out is fine. The opposite works too.
The final say on scope
Nothing is shared until you approve what goes in and what stays out.
Your records
You hold on to your systems and records. A license is limited to the scope both sides agreed on.
Why now
The public internet gave AI its writing skills. What it still needs is how work really gets done.
AI models have by now been trained on most of the open web. The open web cannot show them a working business from the inside, such as how late orders get fixed, how proposals become projects and how hard support cases get settled.
Those records exist in companies that have been operating for years, spread across the inboxes, drives and tools your team uses daily. Labs license them for model training and testing, but only with the owner's approval.
How the process works
What follows once you ask
Start with the form above. Within minutes, a specialist at License Your Data calls to set up a 15-minute call. Then three steps, each one yours to approve.
- 1
First, a 15-minute call
Under an NDA, you walk through your systems, how far back they go and what is off limits. Your passwords and systems stay untouched.
- 2
A de-identified version
License Your Data prepares a copy with names swapped for placeholders. Your originals remain in place while you review and approve a sample.
- 3
Buyers license the copy
Only the approved copy is licensed by AI labs, and nothing else. None of it costs you anything.

What happens to sensitive data?
Sensitive data may be de-identified or kept out before any sharing. Your approval comes before anything goes out.
Does my industry change the estimate?
No. Only team size and time in business set it. Knowing what kind of business you run helps with matching.
Is it possible to exclude some systems?
Yes. Systems are chosen one by one, and each can be limited to certain dates and teams.
Our company is a law, healthcare or accounting firm. What then?
Scope is decided with you and your own counsel, and client and patient data stays out. We do not advise on whether licensing is permitted for your firm.
Is my range an actual offer?
No. The range is indicative and rests only on what you answered. Any real figure depends on a review of the records you put in scope.
Who reaches out after I send it?
A specialist from our licensing partner, within minutes of you sending the form, to book a 15-minute call.
Does an estimate cost anything?
No. An estimate costs nothing and puts you under no obligation.
What gets licensed, exactly?
A set of your company's everyday records, such as email, documents or tickets, chosen and approved by you. They help AI labs train and test what they build.
Three questions. A free range in return.
