Driver is held at the dock. I’ve moved Thursday’s pickup to a second truck, so redacted still gets it by noon.

Public data is largely used up. Your operating history isn’t.
AI models learned from what people posted online. What they lack is how real work gets done: a resolved customer issue, a shipment brought back on schedule, a proposal that became a contract. That context lives in your company’s records.
- Conversations
- Email, chat and support threads that trace a problem to its resolution.

Five steps. Nothing moves until you approve it.
-
Introduction
Tell us about your company and the records you hold. No files are sent.
-
Discovery
We discuss your history, systems, rights, sensitivity and the likely opportunity.
-
Scope and assessment
We identify eligible records, preparation requirements and buyer demand.
-
Proposal review
You review the buyer, permitted uses, pricing and safeguards, then decide.
-
Delivery and payment
Only after signed terms is the approved dataset prepared and transferred. Payment follows the agreement.
Five checks determine whether there’s a fit.
- A real operating business. Workflows and records created through everyday work.
- Useful history. Enough continuity to follow a question through to its outcome.
- Accessible records. A practical way to assess and export within an agreed scope.
- Clear licensing rights. Authority to share, subject to contracts and applicable law.
- A responsible fit. Sensitivity, quality and buyer needs all pass review.
A license, not a sale.
A license grants a buyer defined usage rights. Privacy, confidentiality, retention and permitted use are written into an agreement you review before anything is shared.
- You approve the scope
- Systems, date ranges and exclusions are agreed before any transfer.
- Rights are checked first
- Ownership, privacy and third-party obligations are reviewed up front.
- Sensitive details are handled
- Personal and confidential information is removed, transformed or excluded.
- You review the buyer
- You see who is licensing and on what terms before you sign.
- Uses are defined in writing
- Permitted use, retention, onward sharing and exclusivity are specified.
- Ownership stays with you
- A license does not transfer your underlying records or change how you operate.

Who is License My Data, and how is it paid?
License My Data is a broker based in Clinton Township, Michigan. We assess your records, prepare an eligible dataset and negotiate the license. We are paid a share of a signed license, so an assessment costs you nothing.
What does it mean to license business data for AI?
Data licensing gives an AI developer defined rights to use a prepared copy of your business records to train or evaluate its models. It is a license, not a sale: you keep your records, and the permitted uses, retention and exclusivity are set out in an agreement you sign.
What kind of data could be useful?
Records that show how work gets done: email threads, support tickets, project documents, procedures, order and dispatch histories. Continuity and context matter more than volume alone.
Will someone read our private emails?
Not without your agreement. Assessment starts from a description of your systems. Any review of samples happens within an agreed scope, and personal or confidential details are removed or excluded before anything is delivered.
Do we still own our records after licensing them?
Yes. A license does not transfer your underlying records or change how you operate. The buyer receives only the usage rights written into the agreement.
How much will we be paid?
It depends on uniqueness, quality, volume, rights, preparation, exclusivity and buyer demand. The estimate above is an illustrative one-time payment; an actual figure comes in the proposal you review.
How long does the process take?
It varies with scope, preparation and buyer. You’ll receive an indicative timeline after the discovery conversation. There is no guaranteed closing date.
Can we say no after the first call?
Yes. There is no obligation at any stage until you sign a license agreement.

A short introduction is enough to start. No uploads, no system access, no obligation.
