How your software is developed and supported
Engineering teams leave a long, detailed record of their decisions:
- Commit history across your repositories
- Pull requests and the review comments on them
- Every ticket and bug, start to resolution
- History of builds and tests
- Release notes and architecture notes
Keeping client code out
When you write software for clients, the code may be theirs. Each project like that can be excluded on its own. Whether your agreements allow any client work is for your company and its lawyers to judge, and legal advice on it is not something we offer. What you own is usually an easier place to start, and internal tools often carry history that is equally useful.
Customer data in tickets and logs
Support threads and logs often include customer names and account details. In the copy, placeholders replace each person, customer and company, as well as addresses and account numbers. You can also exclude a repository, a tool or a span of time outright.
The code never leaves your repos
None of your original files ever leave your systems. Nobody requests credentials, tokens or access to your repositories. License Your Data prepares the copy, and you approve a sample before anything goes out. You can withhold any repository or product that you consider central.
Where to begin
The estimate comes first. On the first short call, describe which repositories are your own products, which hold client work, and which tools carry customer conversations. That list usually decides scope on its own. Your engineers can keep releasing throughout, since nobody needs entry to your systems. Should your head of security or counsel want to review the sample, they do so before anything is shared. Stopping is open to you any time before approving, and nothing will have been shared.
Common questions from founders
Is the first call under NDA?
Yes. It all begins under an NDA, and sharing happens only once you approve.
Does our IP change hands?
No. What buyers license is a prepared copy of the material you approved. You hold on to your originals and your ownership.
Do we pay a fee?
No. You pay nothing.
Check your company's range.
Years operating and your team's size decide it. Your stack and product type play no part.
