Information Tracking Technologies
We receive and store certain information about how you use our websites and Services when you visit them through the use of Information Tracking Technologies (“ITT”), which include first-party and third-party cookies, logs, web beacons, and other similar technologies. Our servers collect similar information when you are logged into our website or Services.
The information we receive through ITT may be associated with you, depending on the website or Services you are using, and whether you have provided information identifying yourself to the website or Services.
Cookies are identifiers we transfer to your browser or device that allow us to recognize your browser or device and tell us how and when pages and features in our Services are visited and by how many people.
For example, we receive information that your browser or device sends to our servers whenever you visit a Holistics website. Your browser or device may tell us your internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet, computer and connection information such as browser type, version, language and time zone settings, browser plug-in types, operating system, and type of device you are using.
When you visit our Site, your browser may also tell us information such as the actions you take on our Site, the page that led you to our Site and, if applicable, the search terms you typed into a search engine that led you to our Site.
You may be able to change the preferences on your browser or device to prevent or limit your device’s acceptance of cookies, but this may prevent you from taking advantage of some of our features. We may use this data to customize content for you that we think you might like, based on your usage patterns, and generally to improve the Services.
We use ITT to collect information about your interactions with the Site (“Usage Data”) and how the Site is performing (“Analytics Data”). Usage Data may include information regarding any interaction you have with the Site, such as which functionalities are used and the frequency of use (e.g., pages visited, actions taken, queries run, user accounts, account roles, and connected database types). Analytics Data may include query response times, application response times and other metrics that monitor the responsiveness of the Site.
In addition, third parties may be able to collect information about your online activities when you use our websites or Services from ITT. We do not respond to web browser ‘do not track’ signals or other similar transmissions that indicate a request to disable online tracking of users who visit our websites or who use our websites or Services.
If you receive emails from us, we may use certain analytics tools, to capture data such as when (and where) you opened our email or click on any links or banners our email contains. This data helps us to gauge the effectiveness of our communications and marketing campaigns.
Trial Sign-Ups
When you sign up for a trial, we collect your work email and rejects the use of common personal publicly available email domain accounts. We will send product, marketing and sales related emails designed to help facilitate your product evaluation.
Holistics use third party tools to help you onboard effectively, such as setting up user onboarding flows, automate pop-up message, or to study in-app activity of trial users to identify and clear obstacles for them to have a successful onboarding experience.
Information from Support and Success Channels
Information you provide through our support and success channels will be stored. The Services also include our customer support and customer success, where you may choose to submit information regarding a problem you are experiencing with a Service.
Whether you designate yourself as a technical contact, open a support ticket, speak to one of our representatives directly or otherwise engage with our support team, you will be asked to provide contact information, a summary of the problem you are experiencing, and any other documentation, screenshots or information that would be helpful in resolving the issue.
From time to time, our support team may temporarily access your tenant for the sole purpose of prompt resolution and fast troubleshooting. All such access attempts are logged internally and associated with a support ticket.
Information sent to our group emails for support and customer success will be accessible by our engineering and business teams on duty to provide you a more holistic and responsive service level. If any of such data needs to be shared, please indicate in your email communications that such data is sensitive and confidential.
For the avoidance of doubt, emails sent with generic company confidentiality boilerplates footers at all emails appended by default will not be classified as such sensitive/confidential information unless otherwise stated.
Information Collected from Third Parties

We advertise online, including displaying Holistics ads across the Internet on websites and in apps. When we advertise online to you, we may collect information about which ads are displayed to you, which ads you click on, and the web page where the ad was displayed to you.
Information Stored on Holistics
We act as both a Controller and Processor of Information Stored for our customers.
As a Controller of Personal Information
We store data on Holistics customers and visitors on our Site and Service. This includes details such as trial sign-up information, login details (encrypted), as well as metadata about product usage. Metadata is used to facilitate product improvements, customer support and license auditing.
As a Processor of Personal Information
Where our Customer Database (described in our terms of service) is connected to Holistics, and the Customer Database contains Personal Information necessary to answer queries from Holistics users, Holisics acts as a processor of Personal Information.
Holistics does not store or sync a copy of your data directly from source, so your data remains stored on your own central servers.
You can provide read-only connection to access the minimum amount of data needed to answer your questions in your query results. You may choose to provide Holistics write-access to your database for our ETL features, where Holistics will help you move data across your data sources, or run in-database transformation to speed up query performance.
You may also leverage on the Holistics cache, which speeds up your dashboard/report access time by preloading your query results at scheduled intervals of your choosing. This cache is set to automatically expire at your preferred duration, and can be turned off on a per report basis. You can choose to remove the cache data at any time for your query.
