What happens to your original files

The files you upload are held only while a record is being added. When you save, the redaction boxes are burned into the image, the redacted copy is stored, and the original files are permanently deleted.

A record you never save is discarded after 5 days, originals included, so an abandoned upload doesn't leave unredacted files behind.

Because the originals are gone, a saved record can't be read again or have its pages changed. That's the trade for not keeping unredacted paperwork.

A vehicle history report uploaded by mistake is deleted as soon as it's recognized, before anything is saved.
