Security

Last updated October 5, 2026

Certificates of insurance include names, addresses and policy details. This page explains, in plain words, how we look after them.

Where your data lives

  • The website and the certificate checks run on a server in Virginia, USA.
  • Your files and the information read from them are stored in Virginia, USA.

Encryption

  • Everything between your browser and us travels over HTTPS.
  • Stored files and the database are encrypted at rest.

Every upload is checked

  • Every file is scanned for viruses before anything else touches it. Infected files are deleted.
  • Only PDF certificates (or a zip of them) are accepted, with size limits and checks against harmful files.
  • Forms are protected against bots and abuse.

Who can see your files

  • Only the founder, to prepare your report. There is no team, and no one else has access.
  • Admin tools are not on the public internet; they are reachable only from the founder's own devices.
  • We never write certificate contents to our logs.

How long we keep it

  • Free scan uploads, and everything read from them, are deleted 30 days after upload.
  • Certificates you check on the demo page are processed in memory and not stored.
  • Ask us any time and we delete your data sooner.

AI

Typed and fillable certificates are read without AI. Only scanned certificates are read by Google's Gemini AI, on a paid plan whose terms say your data is not used to train their models. A person checks every value the AI reads before it reaches you, and pass or fail is decided by fixed rules, never by the AI.

What we never do

  • Sell or share your data.
  • Use your certificates for marketing or for anything other than your report.
  • Contact your vendors or their insurance agents without your say-so.
