Delegate does not take custody of customer data.
This notice covers two separate things: what happens on this website, and what happens during a DoubleCheck engagement. They are not the same, and the second one is the unusual part.
This policy is published by Delegate LLC.
Last updated 14 September 2026.
This website
The contact form collects a name, institution, role, work email, and an optional message, and sends them to Delegate by email. The newsletter form collects an email address. Both are processed by Netlify, which hosts this site. There is no analytics script, no advertising pixel, and no third-party tracker on any page.
The site accepts no file uploads of any kind. Do not put customer data in any form on this site.
A DoubleCheck engagement
The engine runs on equipment the institution controls. The de-identified extract, the engagement salt, and the engine's working files stay on the institution's machines for the entire engagement. There is no upload step and no transmission back to Delegate.
Identifiers are replaced with a salted SHA-256 hash on the institution's side before analysis. Delegate never receives the salt.
What is excluded
Names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, account and routing numbers, SAR and other BSA/AML material, and consumer bureau data are excluded by agreement and blocked by the extraction script, which passes through only whitelisted columns and hard-fails on a column name that looks like any of them.
Roles
The institution determines the purpose and means of the processing. Delegate acts as a service provider under a written data processing agreement that sets scope, permitted purpose, handling, and destruction. Under GLBA, a financial institution may disclose nonpublic personal information to a service provider to prevent actual or potential fraud.
Retention and destruction
The de-identified extract and the engine's working files are destroyed within thirty days of the readout. Because the data never left the institution's machines, the institution performs and verifies the deletion. Delegate cannot attest to it. Contact-form correspondence is kept as ordinary business email.
Subprocessors
Netlify hosts this website and processes form submissions. Delegate's business email is hosted by a commercial provider. No subprocessor receives institution extract data, because no extract data leaves the institution.
What this is not
DoubleCheck output is not a consumer report, and Delegate is not a consumer reporting agency. The output contains no numeric scores and no dollar figures, and it does not make a lending, credit, or eligibility decision. The institution retains sole decision authority.
