Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 14, 2026

Standing LLC (“Standing,” “we,” “us,” “our”) provides Secretary of State compliance monitoring for businesses and the accounting firms that serve them. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why, and what choices you have about it.

1. Information We Collect

Account information. When you sign up, we collect your name, email address, and (if you sign up with a password rather than Google) a hashed password. Firm accounts also provide a firm/company name and time zone.

Google Sign-In. If you choose “Continue with Google,” Google shares your name, email address, and basic profile information with us so we can create or log you into your account. We request only the minimum scopes needed for sign-in (your name, email, and profile) — we don't request access to your Gmail, Drive, or any other Google data, and we never post to your Google account on your behalf.

Business entity data. The information you or your firm enters about the business entities you're monitoring — legal name, state, entity/control number, and similar filing details. This is used solely to check that entity's standing with the relevant state Secretary of State.

Payment information. Billing is handled by Stripe. We do not receive or store your full card number — Stripe passes us only what's needed to manage your subscription (plan, status, and a reference ID).

Usage and device information. Standard technical data like IP address, browser type, and pages visited, collected automatically to keep the service secure and working correctly.

2. Cookies

We use a small number of cookies, all functional — no third-party advertising or tracking cookies:

  • A session cookie that keeps you signed in.
  • A CSRF-protection cookie that helps prevent cross-site request forgery.
  • An optional “trust this device” cookie, set only if you choose it during two-factor login, so you're not re-prompted for 30 days.

3. How We Use Information

  • To operate the service — running the compliance checks you or your firm request, and showing you the results.
  • To notify you by email when an entity's standing changes or needs attention.
  • To bill you, via Stripe, for a paid plan.
  • To provide customer support and respond to requests you send us.
  • To keep the service secure, debug problems, and improve it over time.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.

4. Who We Share Information With

We share information only with the service providers that help us run Standing, each bound to use it only to provide their service to us:

  • Stripe — payment processing and subscription billing.
  • Google — if you use “Continue with Google” to sign in.
  • Third-party compliance data providers — to look up a business entity's standing directly against, or sourced from, the relevant state Secretary of State registry. We only send the entity information needed to perform the lookup (state, entity name/number) — never your account's personal information.
  • Error-monitoring and email-delivery infrastructure — to keep the service reliable and to deliver account/alert emails.

We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Standing, our users, or others.

5. Data Retention

We keep your account and entity data for as long as your account is active. If you delete a monitored entity, it's held in a recoverable trash for 30 days before being permanently removed. If you delete your account, we permanently remove your personal information within a reasonable time afterward, except where we're required to retain records (e.g., billing history) for legal or accounting purposes.

Standing is currently in a limited beta. As noted in the Beta Program Agreement, we recommend not relying on Standing as your sole record of filing history during this period.

6. Your Rights and Choices

You can access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information at any time from our privacy request page — we aim to respond within 30 days, as required by applicable privacy law. You can also update most account information directly from Settings while logged in.

7. Children's Privacy

Standing is a business tool, not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16.

8. Data Location

Standing is operated from, and your information is processed and stored in, the United States.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the service evolves. If we make a material change, we'll update the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, notify active users directly.
