Privacy Policy
LAST UPDATED OCTOBER 23, 2026
Who we are
ProvidersDesk is operated by Scribe Align LLC in the United States.
Contact us at hello@providersdesk.com or through the contact form.
The short version
We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not ask for personal information. The tools work without knowing who you are.
We record which codes get looked up, with nothing identifying attached. We use analytics, and we serve advertising. Both use cookies. Details below, and in the cookie policy.
What we collect
Tool usage
When you look up a code, we record which code it was and nothing else. No IP address, no name, no session identifier tied to you. This tells us which datasets matter and which tools to build next.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand which pages get visited and how people find them. It sets cookies and collects usage data such as the pages you view, your browser type and your approximate location. Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses.
If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, Google Analytics sets no cookies unless you agree.
Opt out with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Advertising
This site displays advertising served by Google AdSense.
- Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and other sites
- You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings
- Other third party vendors and ad networks may also serve ads here. You can opt out of many of their cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info or, in Europe, Your Online Choices
How Google handles this data: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and the Google Privacy Policy.
The contact form
If you send us a message, we receive the name, email address and message you typed, plus the page you came from. That is the only place on this site where you give us personal information, and it is entirely voluntary.
We use it to reply to you and nothing else. Messages are kept in our inbox while they are useful and deleted when they are not. We do not add you to any mailing list.
Server logs
Our web server keeps standard access logs including IP address, browser and requested URL. These are used for security and troubleshooting, kept for a limited period, and not combined with anything else.
What we do not collect
- No accounts, so no names, emails or passwords, unless you choose to use the contact form
- No patient information. The lookup tools have no field where it could be entered, by design. Please keep it out of contact messages too
- No payment details. Nothing here is paid for
- We do not sell personal information for money. How advertising is treated under US state privacy laws is covered under your rights, below
Legal basis, for visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland
Under the GDPR, the UK GDPR and Swiss data protection law, we rely on:
- Legitimate interest for security logs and for aggregate usage counts that identify nobody
- Consent for analytics and advertising cookies, which are not set until you agree
Google's consent message asks for that consent before any of those cookies are set. You can withdraw it at any time with the privacy settings link at the bottom of the page. See the cookie policy.
Your rights
EEA, UK and Switzerland
You have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing of your personal data, and the right to data portability. Because we hold no accounts and no personal profiles, there is usually nothing personal of yours for us to export or delete. Email us and we will look.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority. A list is maintained by the European Data Protection Board. In the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office.
California and other US states
Under the CCPA as amended by the CPRA, California residents may request disclosure of personal information collected, request deletion, and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. A number of other states give their residents similar rights.
We do not sell personal information for money. Personalized advertising can still count as selling or sharing under these laws. If you live in one of these states, use the Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information link on our pages to opt out. You can also use Google Ads Settings, or email us. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.
Provider data in the NPI lookup
The NPI lookup displays information from the CMS NPPES public file. That data is disclosable under the Freedom of Information Act and published by the federal government for public use. It contains business contact details, not personal ones.
If you are a provider and your NPPES record is wrong, it must be corrected at the source through NPPES. We import what CMS publishes and cannot amend the federal record. Once you update it there, the correction reaches us with the next monthly import.
Data transfers
This site is hosted in the United States. If you access it from outside the US, your information is transferred to and processed in the US. Google's transfer mechanisms are described in the Google privacy frameworks.
Retention
Aggregate usage counts are kept indefinitely because they identify nobody. Server logs are kept for a limited period for security purposes. Analytics retention follows the setting configured in Google Analytics.
Children
This is a professional reference site, not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Changes
If this policy changes materially, the date at the top of this page changes with it.
Contact
