Data Escrow

When Your Data Is the Product, Protect It Like One.

De-identified medical datasets. Transactional records. AI training data. Increasingly, the thing your customers are licensing isn’t software — it’s data. And if you go dark, they need more than a promise that their access continues. PRAXIS Data Escrow gives them that continuity, backed by an agreement built for how data actually works.

Why Data Escrow

Data-driven businesses run on trust — trust that the datasets powering critical systems, models, or operations will still be there tomorrow. Data Escrow protects that trust contractually, giving your beneficiaries a secured, verified copy of what they’ve licensed, released only if you’re unable to keep your end of the agreement.

What’s Held in Escrow

  • The underlying data sets
  • Database exports
  • Data schemas and data dictionaries
  • De-identification and anonymization methodology documentation
  • Data processing and transformation scripts

Built for Sensitive Data

PRAXIS Data Escrow is designed around the reality that the data you’re depositing may be sensitive — de-identified health information, financial and transactional records, or proprietary AI training sets. Our agreements include an explicit depositor warranty confirming the data was lawfully obtained and, where applicable, properly de-identified or anonymized in accordance with applicable privacy law — so your beneficiary has assurance, and you have a clear paper trail.

How It Works

  1. Deposit — Submit your data electronically via secure sFTP or automated escrow integration.
  2. Verify — PRAXIS performs a visual inspection of every deposit against your submission form, and offers full testing and audit services on request.
  3. Release, only if needed — Your beneficiary receives access to the licensed data if — and only if — a defined trigger event occurs.

All Data Escrow deposits are held in secure electronic environments — no physical media, no unnecessary handling, just protected access when it matters.

"I looked at the classic providers and luckily I continued my search because I remembered the past difficulties with these classic providers. PRAXIS had all the things I was looking for, seamless integration to my development environment, streamlined onboarding processing for new clients, straight forwards pricing model and a responsive customer support mechanism. To date, I have recommended PRAXIS to other startups in a similar situations and will continue to do so."

Frequently Asked Questions

A technology escrow agreement is a type of escrow agreement that can service a very wide range of technology related transactions including but not limited to embedded technology agreements, joint ventures, OEM contracts, IoT agreements and many many more types of arrangements. Anytime a party is relying on business-critical technology that they do not own it might make sense to consider whether or not a technology escrow agreement would be helpful should the technology provider fail to live up to their obligations.

The depositor and beneficiary are often at odds on this issue. Commonly depositors view a request or requirement for an escrow agreement as an insult or some form of distrust. Also, the escrow means extra work and risk for the depositor so they are often reluctant to agree to and fulfill the escrow. The beneficiary is simply trying to protect their business and their investment. As such, the escrow agreement should be negotiated in tandem with the larger agreement (i.e. Software license, SaaS agreement & etc.) and signed at the same time as the larger agreement. Once the larger agreement is signed, the beneficiary loses all leverage with regards to requiring the depositor to fulfill their escrow requirements. The signed escrow agreement is the first step on the continuum of escrow protection, but it Is critical because without the agreement in place the balance of the protections cannot be accessed.
