Why private engineering records matter

Lots of code is public. The context around private work is not: the ticket that started a change, the review comment that sent it back and the fix after a rough release.

Those steps connect across years in your tracker, release notes and review history.

Records that tend to qualify

  • Commit and repository history. Years of change across your code.
  • Pull requests and reviews. What reviewers push back on.
  • Tickets and incidents. How problems get reproduced and closed.
  • Architecture docs and release notes. The reasons behind your system design.

What owners ask first: what about code we do not own?

When you build for clients or manage their systems, a lot of that work may be theirs and may need their consent. Who owns what is settled during scoping, and any client work can be fully excluded. Your counsel should read the contracts. We do not give legal advice.

In the copy, customer details in tickets, logs and chat become placeholders.

What you may exclude

  • Client projects. Out unless you and your counsel decide otherwise.
  • Core products. Any repo or period can stay out.
  • Credentials. Never requested or shared.

After the form

Within minutes of your estimate form, a specialist from License Your Data reaches out to book a 15-minute call under NDA. Then License Your Data produces a de-identified copy of your in-scope records. Buyers license the copy only after you approve a sample.

Owner FAQ

Will anyone get into our repos?
No. Your originals stay in your systems. License Your Data prepares a de-identified copy.
Do we keep ownership?
Yes. What buyers license is a copy, never your code itself.
Is there anything to prepare?
No. It is enough to know which tools your team uses and roughly since when. Nobody asks you to export anything.
What do we pay?
You pay nothing at all.
