Privacy Policy

Effective date: March 12, 2026

Desata Analytics, Inc. (“Desata,” “we,” “us,” “our”) operates desata.io and the tools accessible through it. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.

What We Collect

Information you provide

When you submit a contact form or request access to one of our tools, we collect the information you enter — typically your name, email address, institution name, and message content. Contact form submissions are processed through Formspree, a third-party form handling service.

Information collected automatically

When you visit desata.io, our hosting provider (Cloudflare) may collect standard server log data, including your IP address, browser type, referring URL, and pages visited. This data is used for site performance and security purposes.

We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns. We do not use advertising trackers or sell data to third parties.

Cookies

We use only cookies that are necessary for site functionality. We do not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiries and requests
• Provide access to our tools (Loan Limit, ClarifiED, Offer Letters)
• Improve our site and tools based on aggregate usage patterns
• Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may process your data:

• Cloudflare — hosting, CDN, and DDoS protection. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy.
• Formspree — contact form processing. See Formspree’s privacy policy.

Data Retention

We retain contact form submissions for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and maintain a record of our communications. Server logs are retained according to Cloudflare’s standard retention policies.

Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information by contacting us at info@desata.io. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe.

If you are located in a jurisdiction with specific data protection laws (such as the GDPR or CCPA), you may have additional rights. Contact us and we will work with you to address your request.

Children’s Privacy

Our site and tools are designed for financial aid professionals at Title IV institutions. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
