About this document: Big Pace Ledger ("PaceLedger",
big-pace-ledger.com) is an
appointment, prospecting and sales-pace tracking tool used by insurance
advisors, managers and administrators within our organization. It is not a
public consumer product — accounts are created by, and for, members of our
team. This policy explains what PaceLedger collects, how it is used, and how
data from Google and Zoom is handled.
Information we collect
From you, when you have an account
Account details: your name, email address, role, and
who you report to. Your password is handled by our authentication provider
and stored only as a one-way hash — we never see your actual password.
Profile photo (optional): if you add one, a small square
copy (512 × 512 pixels) is stored with our hosting provider and shown next to
your name to people signed in to PaceLedger (in Chat, the Org chart and the
top bar). It loads from an unlisted web address. Your photo is resized on
your device before it's uploaded; the original isn't kept. Remove it any time
in Your account and it's deleted.
Prospects: names, an optional email address and phone
number, where the prospect came from, notes you add while prospecting, and
which appointments are with that prospect.
Appointments: client or recruit names, an optional
client email address and phone number, presenters, dates and times, meeting
links, notes, sale or recruit outcomes and related premium figures, who
logged the outcome (you, or the person who presented it), plus the email
addresses you choose to send a meeting invitation to.
Follow-ups: follow-up notes you add to past
appointments.
Planning and team data: your Business Plan and
Marketing Plan answers, milestones, trainings, availability, and documents
your organization uploads.
First 30 days checklist: which steps of the new-advisor
checklist you've completed (for example "Business Plan filled in" or
"calendar connected", as yes or no) and when you last opened PaceLedger. Your
manager can see this so they know when to help. It doesn't include the
contents of your Business Plan or calendar.
Chat: the messages you post in Chat (General, Work and
Urgent help), that you agreed to the chat rules, who you've blocked, messages
you report and the reason you give, and when you last read each chat (for
unread counts).
Licensing and contracting: your progress toward getting
licensed and appointed — for example when you started and finished the
pre-licensing course, your exam date and result, your resident state, your
National Producer Number (NPN), when contracting paperwork was sent and
submitted, and your carrier writing number.
Notes and flags kept by super administrators: super
administrators can flag a team member whose licensing or contracting has
stalled (with a short reason), add notes about their progress, and correct
those steps and numbers. These notes and flags are seen only by super
administrators — not by the team member, their managers or anyone else.
Announcements (MegaPhone): super administrators can
post announcements to everyone or to leaders. When you check "I've read and
understand this", PaceLedger saves that you confirmed it and when. Super
administrators can see who has confirmed each announcement, and the people
above you can see whether you have.
About subsidiary agencies
Super administrators can keep a record of each subsidiary agency (an LLC
formed with a subsidiary partner) and its setup checklist: the agency's name,
its subsidiary partner, the states it will operate in, state registration and
license numbers, its tax ID (EIN), its errors and omissions policy, carrier
writing number, the name of its bank (not account numbers), a contact email
and phone number, and documents such as the partner application, the executed
operating agreement, formation documents, licenses and insurance certificates.
Each step records who completed it and when. These records, their documents
(kept in private storage and opened only through a link that expires after a
minute) and their notes are seen only by super administrators.
About clients and prospects (people who don't have an account)
Advisors enter the names and, optionally, email addresses and phone numbers
of the clients and prospects they work with. The Call and Text buttons open your
own phone's calling or messaging app with the number (and, for Text, a message
you can edit) filled in; PaceLedger doesn't place calls or send text messages,
and what you send is between you and your phone carrier. An advisor can also send a client a private
client intake link. If the client chooses to fill it out, the
form collects the financial-planning information the client provides — for
example date of birth, state, marital and tax-filing status, retirement goals,
income, expenses, savings and coverage — and makes it available to that
advisor (and the advisor's managers) to prepare for their meeting. Clients
reach these forms only through the link their advisor sends them.
Invitations
PaceLedger accounts are by invitation only. A team member creates a
one-time invitation link that decides who the new person will report to. The
link holds only a random code. Before signing up, the person opening it sees
only their own name (if the inviter entered it) and the names of the team
they're joining. Each link works once and expires after 30 days. If the
inviter chooses, PaceLedger emails the link to the address they enter, through
our email provider (Resend), with the inviter as the reply-to address. We keep
that address with the invitation so the inviter can see it was sent.
How we use this information
We use this information only to operate PaceLedger's features: tracking
appointment-setting pace against team standards, prospecting, scheduling and
following up on appointments, sending meeting invitations and sign-up links
you ask us to send,
and reporting sales and recruiting activity to the appropriate managers and
administrators. We do not sell or rent any information, we do not use it for
advertising, and the app contains no advertising.
Who can see your information
Access follows your organization's reporting structure:
You can always see your own data.
The people above you in the reporting structure (your managers, and
the advisor who recruited you and those above them) can see your
appointments, prospects, follow-ups, client intake forms, First 30 days
progress and pace, and can leave you coaching notes, so they can coach and
support you. They can't change your data.
People you book as the presenter, or who sit in on an appointment as
a trainee, can see that appointment.
Times a manager blocks out on their calendar (and the reason they give)
are seen by them, the people above them and super administrators. The
people below them see only that they're unavailable then, not why.
If a manager sets presenting hours, people in their organization who
log an appointment with them see their open times: just the times that are
free, not what's booked or blocked out, or why.
Super administrators can see data across the organization, for
oversight. Only super administrators can see the notes and flags they keep
about licensing and contracting, and the subsidiary agency records described
above.
Chat messages can be seen by everyone in your organization who uses
PaceLedger, except people who have blocked you. A report you make is seen
only by you and the super administrators; the person you reported isn't told
who reported them, and the person you block isn't told.
These rules are enforced by security rules inside the database itself,
not just by the app's screens.
Google Calendar integration
Connecting Google Calendar is optional. If you connect it, PaceLedger
requests a single permission: see, create, change and delete events
on Google calendars you own (the
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.events.owned scope). We
only ever use your primary calendar, and we don't request access to your Gmail,
contacts, Drive, or any other Google data.
What we do with this access
Show your schedule in one place. On PaceLedger's
Calendar tab we read your Google Calendar events for the dates you're
viewing and display them alongside your PaceLedger appointments. These
events are fetched when you view the calendar and shown only to you; we do
not store copies of them.
Add appointments to your calendar. When you log an
appointment in PaceLedger, we create a matching event on your Google
Calendar with the appointment's title, time and Zoom meeting link.
Send meeting invitations you ask for. If you add
invitees to an appointment (for example your client's email address, your
own, or a co-presenter's), we add those email addresses to the event as
attendees, and Google sends them the standard calendar invitation from your
calendar. We add only the addresses you enter for that appointment.
Managers hosting a meeting. If you are a manager or
administrator who has connected both Zoom and Google Calendar, and an
advisor chooses your Zoom account to host an appointment's meeting,
PaceLedger adds that appointment (title, time and Zoom link) to your Google
Calendar too, so you know about the meeting you're hosting. Invitations are
never sent from a manager's calendar.
Presenting hours, only if you turn it on. If you set
presenting hours and tick "Leave out times I'm busy on Google Calendar",
then when someone in your organization looks at your open times, we check
your Google Calendar for times you're busy within those hours and leave
them out. We ask Google only for each event's start and end time, whether
it shows you as busy, and whether you declined it; we don't request, show or
store event titles, descriptions, locations or who's invited. Others see only the times you're
free, never your events. Untick the box to stop this at any time.
What we store, and for how long
We store your Google access and refresh tokens and your connected
calendar's address (shown to you as "Connected as …"). Tokens are stored in
our database, cannot be read by the app in your browser (only by our
server-side functions), and are used only to make the calendar requests
described above on your behalf. Events PaceLedger creates are not changed
afterwards: if you reschedule an appointment, update the Google event
yourself or send an updated invitation from PaceLedger (see below).
Disconnecting
You can disconnect at any time with the Disconnect button
on PaceLedger's Calendar tab. That deletes our stored tokens immediately and
asks Google to revoke PaceLedger's access. You can also remove PaceLedger from
your Google Account's third-party access page;
we then delete our stored tokens the next time PaceLedger tries to use
them. Events PaceLedger already created stay on your Google Calendar as
ordinary events, which you can edit or delete in Google Calendar.
Who we share Google user data with
Google user data means the calendar events we read from your Google
Calendar, your connected calendar's address, and the access tokens Google
gives us. We share it only as follows:
Our service providers, only to run the features above.Supabase
hosts our database and server functions: it stores your Google tokens and
connected calendar address, and runs the functions that send requests to
Google Calendar for you.
Cloudflare
hosts the PaceLedger website, so calendar data passes through its network
(encrypted) on its way to your screen; it doesn't store it. Both act on our
behalf under their terms and may not use the data for anything else.
People who book you to present, as open times only.
If you turn on the Google option for your presenting hours, the open times
others see in PaceLedger leave out the times you're busy on Google Calendar.
They see only which times are free, never your events or anything about
them.
People you choose to invite. When you add invitees to an
appointment, Google sends them a calendar invitation from your calendar with
the event's title, time and meeting link. Only the addresses you enter
receive it.
When the law requires it, or as part of a merger or
acquisition, with notice to you.
We do not share Google user data with your managers or
other PaceLedger users (Google Calendar events are shown only to you; the
open times above show only when you're free), with
Zoom, with our email provider, or with advertisers or data brokers, and we
never sell it.
Limited Use
PaceLedger's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs
adheres to the
Google API Services User Data Policy,
including the Limited Use requirements. Specifically:
We use Google Calendar data only to provide the user-facing calendar
features described above.
We do not transfer Google user data to others, except as described in
"Who we share Google user data with" above: to provide those features, to
comply with applicable law, or as part of a merger or acquisition with
notice to you.
We do not use Google user data for advertising, and we do not sell
it.
No person reads your Google Calendar data unless you give us
permission to (for example, to help with a support request), it is needed
for security purposes or to comply with the law, or it is aggregated and
anonymized for internal operations.
We do not use Google user data to develop, improve, or train
generalized artificial intelligence or machine-learning models.
Zoom integration
If you choose to connect your Zoom account, PaceLedger requests permission
to create meetings on your behalf (the meeting:write:meeting
scope). When you log an appointment, we create a unique Zoom meeting and
attach the join link to that appointment. We don't access any other Zoom
data, such as recordings, contacts or account settings. You can disconnect
Zoom at any time from within PaceLedger, or from your Zoom account's
connected-apps settings; either removes our access and our stored copy of your
token.
Chat
Everyone must agree to the chat rules before they can see or post in Chat.
Words on a filter list are masked when posted. Anyone can report a message or
block a person; super administrators review reports and remove messages that
break the rules. When a message is deleted, its text is erased; a copy stays
with any report about it so a super administrator can review it. Chat messages
are deleted automatically after 90 days, except a message that's still waiting
on a report, which is kept until a super administrator reviews it.
When you post in Urgent help, PaceLedger emails your
direct manager and the leader above them (or the super administrators, if you
don't have a manager) with your name, email address and the message, through
our email provider,
Resend.
When you report a message, the super administrators get an email with the
message, who posted it, your name and the reason you gave.
Meeting invitation emails
When an invitation can't come from your Google Calendar — because you
haven't connected it, the Google step didn't go through, or you're sending an
updated invitation after changing an appointment — PaceLedger can email the
meeting details to the invitees you enter, through our email delivery
provider,
Resend.
Each email goes only to the addresses you entered for that appointment, comes
with a calendar file attached, and lists you as the reply-to address. Sending
is rate-limited to prevent misuse.
iPhone and Android apps
The PaceLedger iPhone and Android apps show the same account and data as
the website. If you turn on appointment reminders, the reminders (30 minutes
before an appointment, a nudge afterward to log how it went, and a morning
reminder for anything still unlogged) are scheduled on your phone from your own
appointments; nothing extra is sent to us. The apps use your camera or photo
library only when you choose a profile photo, and only the photo you pick is
used. When
you share a link or export a spreadsheet, it goes only where you choose in your
phone's share sheet. You can turn reminders off at any time in your phone's
Settings. The apps contain no advertising and no third-party analytics or
tracking.
Service providers
Supabase — authentication, database and server-side
functions.
Cloudflare — website hosting.
Google and Zoom — only if you connect
them, as described above.
Resend — delivery of meeting invitations and sign-up
links you ask us to send.
If a manager adds a Calendly link to their profile, clicking it takes you
to Calendly's own site, governed by Calendly's privacy policy.
Data storage and security
Data is stored in a hosted PostgreSQL database (Supabase) and protected by
database-level security rules that enforce the access described above. All
connections use HTTPS encryption, and responses that contain personal or
token data are marked so browsers and proxies don't cache them.
Data retention and deletion
Your data is kept while your account is active. You can delete your own
account at any time, on the website or in the app: select your name at the top
right, then Your account → Delete my account. This permanently
deletes your login and the records you own (your profile photo, appointments, prospects, notes,
business plan, intake forms you sent, chat messages, and your Google and Zoom
connections), along with any notes and flags super administrators kept about
you and your announcement confirmations. A subsidiary agency's record belongs to the organization and stays, with
your name kept as its partner. A
super administrator can also remove an account.
Google and Zoom tokens are deleted as soon as you disconnect. To ask for your
data, or a client's data, to be deleted, contact us at the address below, or
see how to delete your account.
Children's privacy
PaceLedger is a workplace tool for adult employees and contractors of our
organization. It is not directed at, and should not be used by, children.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
