Privacy policy

Effective date: February 2026 Last updated: March 26, 2026

1. What we collect

Designate collects information to deliver our services and improve your experience. Here's what we gather:

From the Revenue Assessment Suite

  • Assessment responses (your answers to dimension questions)
  • Dimension scores computed from your responses
  • Company metadata you provide (industry, company size)
  • Behavioral signals (assessment completion time, page interactions)

From contact forms and meeting bookings

  • Name and email address
  • Company information
  • Message content (when you reach out to us)

From website interactions (Cloudflare Web Analytics)

  • Page views and referring source (how you found us)
  • Country-level location (no IP addresses stored)
  • Browser and device type (anonymized, no fingerprinting)

No cookies, no tracking pixels. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which collects aggregate data without cookies, without personal data, and without tracking you across sites.

What we don't collect: We don't intentionally collect sensitive personal information like social security numbers, payment card data, or health information. Never enter such data on our site.

2. How we use it

We use your information to provide services, communicate with you, and improve Designate:

Personalized recommendations

  • Deliver your assessment results with dimension scores and tier ratings
  • Generate workspace recommendations based on your assessment profile
  • Follow up with relevant insights about revenue operations and system design

Aggregated benchmark computation

  • Compute peer benchmarks so participants can see how their scores compare to others in their segment
  • Identify industry-level trends and patterns across revenue operations maturity
  • Improve assessment instruments based on aggregate response patterns

Industry research publications

  • Publish anonymized, aggregated findings about revenue operations maturity
  • Produce benchmark reports segmented by industry, company size, or engagement type

Communications & relationship management

  • Store your information in our CRM to manage communications
  • Send you information related to your assessment results
  • Share occasional insights and updates relevant to revenue operations
  • Respond to your messages and inquiries

We do not: Sell individual data. Share your email with third parties (except as described in this policy). Disclose any individual or company-identifiable information in any aggregated output.

3. Commercial use of aggregated data

Anonymized, aggregated assessment data may be included in benchmark reports, industry research, and commercial data products. No individual response, company name, or personally identifiable information is disclosed in any aggregated output.

What this means

  • Your individual answers are never shared, sold, or distributed
  • Aggregated data (e.g., "the median score across 200 software companies in the 50-200 employee range") may appear in published reports or data products
  • No company name, individual name, or email address is ever included in aggregated outputs
  • Segments with fewer than 10 respondents are excluded from published benchmarks to prevent inference

Opt out

You can request that your individual data be excluded from benchmark computation at any time by contacting privacy@designatesolutions.com. Your assessment results and personalized recommendations remain unaffected.

4. Anonymization standard

Data is anonymized such that no reasonably available means can re-identify individual respondents or companies within aggregated outputs. Specifically:

  • Individual responses are never included in any external-facing dataset
  • Aggregated outputs use statistical measures (medians, percentiles) computed across segments, not individual records
  • Minimum segment sizes (currently 10 respondents) are enforced before any segment-level data is published or distributed
  • Company metadata (industry, size range) is used only for segmentation, never for identification

5. Third-party services

We use trusted third-party platforms to deliver our services. These partners process data on our behalf under confidential agreements:

HubSpot

Our Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. Stores your contact information, manages email communications, supports meeting scheduling, and provides analytics on website behavior.

Cloudflare (Hosting, Analytics & Data Storage)

Hosts and serves designatesolutions.com via Cloudflare Workers. Assessment data is stored in Cloudflare D1 databases. Cloudflare Web Analytics provides privacy-first site metrics: no cookies, no personal data, no cross-site tracking. Cloudflare may process minimal technical data (request logs) as part of standard hosting operations.

Each of these providers has its own privacy policy. We recommend reviewing them if you want more detail on how they handle data.

6. Email communications

When you share your email with us through an assessment, contact form, or meeting booking, you may receive emails related to:

  • Your assessment results and personalized recommendations
  • Occasional insights on revenue operations, system design, and GTM alignment
  • Relevant updates from Designate

Unsubscribe

Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link. You can opt out of communications at any time. We'll respect your preference immediately.

Email sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share your email address with third parties. Your email is used only for the purposes outlined above and to manage your relationship with Designate.

7. Cookies

Our analytics (Cloudflare Web Analytics) do not use cookies. No cookie banner is required for our analytics.

HubSpot cookies

HubSpot may set cookies for form submissions, meeting bookings, and chat functionality. These are functional cookies tied to services you initiate (submitting a form, booking a meeting). HubSpot's tracking code loads on all pages to support these features.

Managing cookies

You control cookie settings in your browser. Disabling HubSpot cookies will not affect site navigation or content, though form and meeting booking features may be limited.

8. Data security

Your data is stored on Cloudflare infrastructure. All data is encrypted in transit via TLS. Access to assessment data, benchmark databases, and user records is restricted to authorized systems only.

We do not store passwords. Authentication uses secure token-based sessions. Database access is limited to application-level service accounts with scoped permissions.

9. Data retention

How long we keep your data: We retain your information as long as our business relationship is active or as needed to provide services. This typically means:

  • Contact information is retained for as long as you're a customer or prospective customer
  • Assessment results are kept for historical reference, personalized recommendations, and aggregated benchmark computation
  • Engagement records are maintained for follow-up and service delivery

Deletion requests

You can request deletion of your data at any time by contacting privacy@designatesolutions.com. We will honor reasonable deletion requests, though we may retain minimal information to comply with legal obligations or prevent accidental re-contact.

10. Your rights

You have control over your information:

Access

You can request a copy of the data we have on file for you.

Correction

If your information is inaccurate, you can request we correct it.

Deletion

You can request deletion of your individual data at any time. This includes removal from assessment records and benchmark computation.

Opt out of commercial aggregation

You can request that your individual data be excluded from benchmark computation and commercial data products. Your assessment results and personalized recommendations remain available to you.

Unsubscribe

You can opt out of email communications using the unsubscribe link in any message, or by contacting us directly.

How to exercise your rights

To make any of these requests, contact privacy@designatesolutions.com with clear details of what you're requesting. We'll respond within 10 business days.

11. Policy updates

We may update this privacy policy as our services evolve or regulations change. When we make material changes, we'll post the updated policy on this page with a new "Last Updated" date.

Material changes will be communicated to you via email if they affect how we handle your data. Continued use of our site after updates means you accept the changes.
