By proceeding with identity verification, you consent to Stripe's processing of your biometric data as described in our Biometric Information Disclosure.

6. Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary to (a) operate the portal and process claim purchase inquiries, (b) comply with legal and regulatory obligations, (c) prevent fraud and enforce our agreements, and (d) resolve disputes.
Retention periods vary by data type:
- Account and portal activity: Generally retained for up to 24 months for security, fraud prevention, and operational recordkeeping.
- Unfinished submissions: If you begin but do not complete the intake process, we generally delete or de-identify the information within 90 days, unless retention is required for security or legal reasons.
- Executed agreements and transaction records: If a transaction is completed, we retain executed agreements and related transaction records for up to 7 years to support compliance, accounting, and dispute resolution.
