Scope & roles

For institutional deployments, your institution is typically the Data Controller and Infinize acts as a Data Processor/Service Provider. For our marketing site and outreach, Infinize is the Data Controller. Contract terms in your DPA prevail.

What data we collect and why

Platform & student success data (institutional)

  • Identifiers: student IDs, institutional emails, program/major, advisor/role assignments
  • Academic signals: enrollments, grades (where provided), prerequisites, schedules
  • Engagement: LMS activity, nudges/alerts status, appointments, caseload tasks
  • Career/transfer context (optional): skills, resume extracts, credit equivalencies

Operational & analytics data

  • Logs/telemetry: API calls, job health, errors, performance
  • Configuration: roles, permissions, feature flags
  • Website forms: contact details, institution, interests
  • Cookies (site usage): device/browser metadata

Sensitive categories (e.g., disability status) are processed only if directed by the institution and contractually permitted.

Legal bases for processing

Contractual necessity

To provide platform functionality to your institution

Legitimate interests

For security, fraud prevention, and product improvement (balanced with your rights)

Consent

For certain marketing or optional features (withdraw anytime)

Legal obligations

Where applicable (e.g., compliance, lawful requests)

How we use AI, with governance

Infinize employs AI to power features like early alerts, academic planning validation, major/career recommendations, transfer mapping, and productivity summaries. AI augments staff and faculty, it does not replace them.

Human-in-the-loop

Advisors and staff can review, accept, or override recommendations.

Explainability

We show rationale and references where feasible and appropriate.

Bias monitoring

We monitor for disparate impact and support institutional reviews.

No unapproved training

Customer data is not used to train foundation models unless contractually authorized.

Safety guardrails

Abuse prevention, rate limits, and content controls are enforced.

Cookies & similar technologies

We use necessary cookies for core functionality and optional analytics to improve the site. You can manage preferences at any time.

Types

Strictly necessary: authentication, load balancing
Functional: remember settings
Analytics: usage trends; aggregated

Your choices

You can disable non-essential cookies via our preference tool or your browser settings.

Do Not Track: we honor applicable regional requirements and controls.

Data sharing & subprocessors

We do not sell personal data.

We share data only with trusted providers that help us deliver the service, under contract and subject to security and confidentiality obligations.

Optional analytics (aggregated)

Your institution controls access

Data retention & location

We retain personal data for as long as necessary to provide services or as required by our agreements and applicable laws. Retention periods are defined in institutional configurations and/or DPAs. Data residency options may be available.

Your privacy rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing, and to data portability. For institutional data, please contact your institution first; we will support them in fulfilling your request.

How to submit a request

Include: your name, institution, and request details

We will respond within applicable timelines and coordinate with your institution as needed.

Automated decision-making

Infinize provides recommendations and scores to assist staff; final decisions remain with authorized humans. You may request information about logic and significance where required by law.

Children's privacy

We do not knowingly collect information from children under the age required by local law without appropriate authorization.

International data transfers

Where data is transferred across borders, we implement appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) and support institutional residency requirements where available.
