Privacy policy

Better Off is committed to safeguarding the privacy of its users and their friends and family members.

This Privacy Policy outlines how your personal information is collected, used, disclosed, and protected when you use this website-based service (referred to in this policy as “the Service").

Information collected

As you use the Service, Better Off will collect two types of information:

1. Data from user input. This information is voluntarily and directly provided by you while using the Service, such as your name, contact information, and planning decisions. It also includes similar information you provide about other people you identify while constructing your plan. Please do not provide any information of this kind without that person’s knowledge and consent.
2. Data from user activity. This includes all other information gathered from your interactions with the Service and marketing messages, like what emails you open and email links you click through, when and how often you access the Service, what actions you take on each screen, and when you download the documents. It also includes information about the device type, IP address, browser, and time zone from which you access the Service. If you choose to engage in service or research interactions with Better Off, those interactions are recorded and preserved.

Both types of information are referred to in this policy as “Personal Data.”
