Privacy Policy
Draft — under attorney review before public launch.
What we collect
To produce a report we collect: your email address (to deliver the report), the pay stub file(s) you upload, and the details you enter about the application — the applicant’s first name and last initial only, the stated employer, state, and claimed income.
Data minimization
We deliberately store the applicant’s first name and last initial only — not a full name, Social Security number, or date of birth. ProofSweep is a document-and-business check, so we keep the minimum needed to run it.
Security & encryption
Uploaded pay stubs are encrypted in transit and at rest and kept in private storage that is never publicly accessible. They are used only to produce your report — never shared or sold. (Our reviewer accesses them solely to verify the documents.)
Report availability & retention
Your report is available to view and download for 30 days after it’s delivered. After that, the report and the uploaded pay stubs are automatically deleted. A minimal record (the risk verdict and document fingerprints) may be kept longer to support duplicate-document detection.
How we use it
- To run automated checks and prepare your report.
- To detect documents recycled across different applicants (the duplicate scan).
- To deliver the report to the email address you provided.
Who we share it with
We use third-party services strictly to produce the report (document AI, business-records lookups, payment processing, email delivery). We do not sell your data.
Cookies & analytics
On our public website pages we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the site — for example, which pages are viewed. It sets cookies and collects standard, non-identifying usage data such as pages visited, browser and device type, and approximate (city-level) location. We do notrun analytics on the private, tokenized report links, so your report and the documents behind it are never sent to any analytics service. You can opt out with Google’s browser add-on or your browser’s cookie controls.
No accounts
There is no account or password. Your report is delivered through a private, tokenized link emailed to you.
