### **Data protection** All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We apply strict controls around storage, access, and retention to ensure information is protected at every stage.![Data protection](https://profilebehavior.com/images/supporting/data-protection.avif) ### **Access & permissions** Access is restricted based on role and responsibility. Authentication, permissions, and logging ensure that sensitive data is only available to the right people.![Access & permissions](https://profilebehavior.com/images/supporting/access-permissions.avif) ### **Years working with teams** We've dedicated years to working with teams and coaching leaders, addressing communication challenges and assisting groups in performing well under pressure.![Years working with teams](https://profilebehavior.com/images/supporting/experience.avif) ## How trust is engineered into our platform Profile protects behavioral data through layered authentication, compliance controls, and permission systems designed for institutional environments. - The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a U.S. federal law that protects student education records. It gives students the right to access and control their data and applies to institutions receiving federal funding. Profile supports FERPA-aligned data handling by working directly with institutions, establishing appropriate agreements, and ensuring access and permissions are managed in accordance with institutional requirements. - Profile is built around clear data ownership. Customers retain control of their data, we limit access to what is strictly necessary to operate the service, and we honor data rights and deletion requests in line with applicable privacy laws. - Profile is designed so that teams of every ability can use it. Our product follows WCAG guidance for color contrast, keyboard navigation, and assistive-technology support, and we treat accessibility as an ongoing engineering responsibility.How Data Is Handled ## Responsible data, by design From how data is collected to how it's accessed and used, every step is structured to reduce risk and respect user expectations. ### Consent model Data is collected with clear intent and context. Users and organizations understand what is being gathered, why it's needed, and how it will be used within the platform. ### Role-based access Access to data is structured around roles and responsibilities. Individuals only see the information relevant to their role, reducing unnecessary exposure. ### Data ownership principles Organizations retain control over their data. Profile does not sell or repurpose data outside the intended use of the platform. ## Enterprise-ready infrastructure From authentication to permissions, every layer is designed to meet the needs of teams operating at scale. Core infrastructure capabilities - Role-based permissions - Single sign-on (SSO) - Multi-organization support - Enforced multi-factor authentication (MFA)![Enterprise-ready infrastructure](https://profilebehavior.com/images/supporting/enterprise.avif) ## Learn why top-rated teams choose us.
