Data Retention and Destruction Policy
Our essential business model is to securely, reliably and promptly retrieve information from trusted third party sources on behalf of our customers. We do not reuse our customer data for other purposes and primarily retain information to offer a convenient reference for our customers, and to satisfy certain audit requirements from trusted third party sources (e.g., IRS, SSA).

Our automated purge jobs generally execute within a week of the retention period with appropriate logging for confirmation. These jobs sweep through all NPI and scrub the in scope data by applying a write zero, comparable method, or via a complete delete of that data element.
