North Filings, Inc. ("North Filings," "we," "us") builds software that helps founders form and operate United States companies. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have.
Information we collect
- Account information — name, email address, password credentials and, if you sign in with Google, the basic profile details that provider shares.
- Company and filing information — entity names, addresses, ownership details, identification documents and other data required to prepare formation, EIN and compliance filings.
- Financial information — billing details processed by our payment processor, and, where you connect a bank account, read-only transaction data supplied through our banking partner. We never store full card numbers or bank credentials.
- Usage information — device, browser, pages viewed and actions taken in the product, used to keep the service secure and to improve it.
How we use information
We use your information to provide the service, prepare and submit filings on your instruction, verify identity where the law requires it, process payments, provide support, send service and compliance notifications, detect fraud and abuse, and meet our legal obligations.
How we share information
We share information only as needed to run the service: with state filing offices and federal agencies when we submit your filings; with processors that provide hosting, payments, banking data, email and analytics under contract; with professional advisers where you ask us to; and where required by law or valid legal process. We do not sell your personal information.
Retention
We retain filing and financial records for as long as required by applicable tax, corporate and anti-money-laundering rules, and other data for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of information we are not obliged to keep.
Security
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is restricted on a least-privilege basis, and sensitive connection credentials are stored using authenticated encryption. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong, unique password and enable two-factor authentication.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete your personal information, to object to certain processing, and to withdraw consent. Email privacy@northfilings.com and we will respond within the time the applicable law allows.
International transfers
North Filings operates in the United States. If you are outside the US, your information will be transferred to and processed there under appropriate safeguards.
Children
The service is not directed to anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes to this policy
We will post any changes on this page and update the date above. If changes are material, we will also notify you by email or in the product.
