PewterFor proprietors of mature US firms
What happens to your information, stage by stage.
This page describes what Pewter does today. We list only practices we actually follow. Where a protection depends on a specific deal, we say so, and your agreement is where it gets written down.
Indicative range
Example: a 100-person firm, 10 years in business. Move the sliders for yours.
A scenario, not a valuation. Many firms are offered less, and some receive no offer once their records are reviewed.

Questions to consider
Questions about information handling
Who sees my records before I sign?
No one, unless you agree. To check quality before an offer, we may ask for a small sample, and Pewter or the licensing partner may review it. You choose what goes in the sample, and you can say no. The full export happens only after you sign.
What does Pewter collect?
Your name, contact details and basic facts about your firm. We never ask for business records through this website.
Who sees my information, and when?
With your consent, we share your firm's name, size and industry with our licensing partner so it can prepare an estimate. A sample may be reviewed by Pewter or our licensing partner only if you agree.
Does the inventory include my records?
No. It lists which systems you use, roughly how much is in each and how many years they cover. The AI model used to check it sees only system names and sizes.
Could clients or employees be exposed?
Before delivery, we remove or substitute names, contact details, account numbers, credentials and payment details. Regulated, privileged or third-party records may be left out. Since every method leaves some risk, you inspect the process and a sample before signing. Our records process.

What protections does Pewter have?
Pewter holds no security certification of its own, such as SOC 2, and we won't imply that a provider's certification is ours. Larger transactions can involve further protections, such as escrow, an independent review of the de-identified data, or specific insurance. Deal-specific protections Where further protections apply, they are negotiated and written into your agreement. We don't advertise them as standard.
How does the website protect information?
