No file retention.

Privacy is a core part of the product flow. Uploaded files are handled only for the duration of the request and are not kept as part of an archive, queue, or history log.

Both the metadata inspection page and the risk assessment page process documents temporarily. Once extraction is complete, the uploaded file is explicitly deleted from the temporary upload path.

This approach is meant to reduce retention risk and make the behavior easier to explain to clients, reviewers, and internal stakeholders.

  • The file is not stored permanently in the project
  • No upload history is retained by the site workflow
  • The temporary file is deleted immediately after extraction
  • No external processing service is required for the core analysis flow

Temporary only

Uploads exist only long enough for the parser to read the document and build the response shown on screen.

Clear expectation

The site is explicit about deletion behavior so the privacy story matches the actual implementation.

Operational fit

This model works well for internal review tools, client-facing utilities, and environments where file retention should stay minimal.
