# No permanent document retention

- Your documents are analyzed, then deleted. Source files are deleted after processing, at the latest one hour after upload.
- Reports, findings, metadata and the PDF stay available for up to 24 hours from report creation, then they are deleted. A service restart can remove them sooner. An `expired` state means the report is gone and cannot be recovered; submit the original again for a new examination.
- There is no permanent archive of documents or reports, no research-corpus contribution and no model training on documents.
- To delete sooner, call `ultiwrite_forensics_analysis_delete` (only when the user asks) or use My Documents on ultiwrite.co.
- Account, payment, usage and connection records are kept separately and contain no document content. Temporary processing is not a claim that no data is ever stored. Browser selection, downloaded files and other providers have their own handling boundaries; follow the current linked policies.
- Results brought into this conversation are governed by this AI app's own data policies.
