If you provide Personal Information, your Personal Information and all data related to the Service will be stored within the United States.

Information Collected
Holistiplan collects Personal Information in various ways, such as, by your voluntary submissions, through use of the Services, from third parties with your consent, and through cookie and other tracking technology. Holistiplan collects the following information:
Submission of Information
- We collect your Personal Information that you voluntarily provide as part of your registration process, uploading Files, or from use of the Site and Services.
- If you are an advisor, the Personal Information we collect is limited to your name, email address, firm name, firm logo file, and the names and email addresses of those employees you set up as users of the Site or Service. We may also ask for contact information and information about your firm to better provide our Services to you.
- If you are the client of an advisor or using the Service as a direct individual, we collect financial information you or your advisor submits through the Site or Service including tax documents, Files, or other relevant financial documents (“User Submitted Content”). Holistiplan, LLC takes security of this data very seriously. User Submitted Content does not need to include Personal Information. Further, we do not store Social Security numbers or address information in our database. We do store names and non-identifying tax data so we can produce a customized tax report. While Social Security numbers and taxpayer addresses are not stored in our database, scanned images of the tax return or Files you uploaded do remain on the server unless manually deleted by your advisor or automatically deleted in the event of a canceled subscription or application setting. When a tax return record is deleted, all associated data about that tax return is also deleted from our database.
- We will not sell your Personal Information or any information in the User Submitted Content to any third party. We would only share Personal Information or User Submitted Content for the specific circumstances outlined in the “How Information is Shared” section below.
- We do not collect or store billing information directly. We use Stripe, Inc., a third-party billing processor which collects and stores your billing information and processes payments for the Services. You can review Stripe’s privacy policy here: https://stripe.com/privacy-center/legal

We also use Google Analytics, Pendo, and HubSpot, which collect various actions when you are on our Site or use the Services.
