How we handle your data
Plain terms, no legal maze. If anything here is unclear, ask us and we'll fix the wording.
Where we are
We're in the building phase, and we were so excited to get these tools out for you to try. They still have a few rough edges. They generate drafts and prompts to support your thinking — they're not a substitute for professional judgment, and the output can be incomplete or wrong, so please review before you rely on or share anything. If something's off, tell us. These are meant to be useful to you, and it's only with your feedback that we can make them the most relevant for what you need right now.
How we keep your work secure
We build on a zero-trust standard: we assume nothing is safe by default and verify every request. Your work isn't visible to other users. Our quality reviewers can only open a result when you have explicitly ticked the box asking us to review it, and you can withdraw that at any time — once you do, their access ends immediately. We never use it to train AI. Every tool output is a draft for you to review — a person stays in the loop by design. You can ask us to delete your data at any time.
What your data helps build
When you use a Proffer Studio tool, you also help build something the social sector has never had: an honest picture of where organizations actually stand — on strategy, on capacity, on AI. We only ever share this in aggregate, never in a way that identifies you or your organization, and we never sell your data or show your words without your permission. You get clarity in a few minutes; together we get insight that can drive better research, funding, and support.
What we store
- The answers you write or dictate, as you submitted them.
- The draft we generate, your edits, and how many times you regenerated it.
- The issue area we guessed and the one you confirmed.
- Internal quality signals we use to improve the tool.
- Your rating and any comment you leave.
- Your name and email, and your organization and role if you share them.
- If you create a profile: your name, organization, and the zip code you work in.
To create your draft we ask for your name and email; your organization and role are optional. We don't ask for sensitive personal information, and you don't need to create an account.
Who sees it
Your answers and draft are visible to you and to the small team that runs this tool. When we work with vetted partners, we share only aggregate trends — never your individual answers, and never your contact information. (For example, we might share sector trend data with a partner like CauseVox.) We never share proprietary information about your organization, and we never sell your data. When we report on the sector, we share aggregate figures only, and we're careful never to report in a way that identifies a single organization.
Sharing with vetted partners
When we work with vetted partners, we share only aggregate trends — for example, sector trend data with a partner like CauseVox. We never share your individual answers or your contact information, we never share proprietary information about your organization, and we never sell your data.
Aggregate reporting is not the same as quoting you
Aggregate statistics are counts and distributions, with no name attached. Quoting is different — a problem statement can identify an organization even with the name removed — so we never show your words to anyone else unless you tick the box giving permission.
The AI that writes your draft
Your answers go to our AI provider, Anthropic, to generate the draft. We call their service with our own key, and under Anthropic's commercial terms they do not use your inputs or outputs to train their models. Every vendor that touches this data — our platform, our database, and our AI provider — operates under data-processing terms.
How long we keep it, and how to remove it
We keep your answers and drafts so you can come back to them. We don't delete on an automatic schedule — if you'd like yours removed, email us at profferaccess@i4eq.com, and we'll delete your raw answers, drafts, edits, and profile, and confirm when it's done. (Aggregate statistics already calculated aren't recalculated.) You can also ask for a copy of what we hold, or a correction. One person owns these requests, and we aim to respond within thirty days.
When you ask us to send your draft, we store your email to send you the link. If you ticked the box, we may also email you occasionally about new free tools. Every message has a working unsubscribe link and our mailing address: 924 E 7th St, Suite 200, Austin, TX 78702.
