The database. Either a new field on a user or profile model, or on the
model the form is for, or a new model specifically for this purpose.
Hard to say with the info you've given so far which of those makes most
sense for your case, any of them could work. (E.g. "on the model the
form is for" only makes sense if that model is "owned" by a single user,
not edited by multiple users.)

Saving persistent data on a Python class (if that's what you meant by
"the model class" or "the user class") doesn't work; you'll lose the
data if the server restarts.

Text file would work, but that's a lot of hassle to no good end when you
have the database available, whose entire purpose is to store persistent
data for you.
