Document processing with zero retention by design.

Sensitive documents come in, get processed, and disappear — no storage, no reuse, no residual data. Engineered for healthcare, financial and regulated workloads where deletion is a compliance requirement.

Why document retention exists by default.

Most production pipelines retain documents intentionally — to support compliance, audit and continuous accuracy improvement. Retention is the baseline; zero retention is an additional layer engineered on top.

retention enables
  • Improve extraction accuracy

    Real documents continuously fine-tune the model, lifting precision and recall over time.

  • Support audit and reference

    Short-term storage enables traceability, dispute resolution and internal review.

  • Backward debugging

    Engineers can replay past documents to root-cause errors and re-process at no extra cost.

When zero retention is required.

Some workflows can't keep any trace of the underlying document. For those teams, zero retention is not a feature — it's a compliance requirement.

  • Healthcare and clinical data

    Medical records containing PHI must be processed without persistence under HIPAA and equivalent frameworks.

  • Personally identifiable information

    Names, addresses, government IDs and similar PII often demand strict erasure guarantees under GDPR.

  • Critical intellectual property

    Proprietary documents, contracts and confidential filings need to leave no residual copy after processing.

  • Highly regulated environments

    Banking, insurance, defense and government workflows where data residency and deletion are non-negotiable.

How zero retention processing works.

A deterministic, four-stage flow. Each document is processed, extracted and erased within a single bounded lifecycle — measured in seconds, never days.

  1. Step 01

    Secure ingestion

    Documents arrive over TLS into an isolated processing chamber with no disk persistence.

  2. Step 02

    Extract defined fields

    Only the explicitly approved fields are extracted. Everything else is discarded in-flight.

  3. Step 03

    Optional training sample

    If you explicitly opt in, an anonymised sample is retained for model improvement — otherwise skipped.

  4. Step 04

    Hard delete

    Documents and extracted artifacts are cryptographically erased after delivery — no residual trace.

How zero retention changes optimization.

Removing retention also removes the levers we normally use to improve. We configure zero retention internally and evaluate it against your specific scale — the tradeoff is intentional and explicit.

Zero retention processing is configured internally and evaluated based on document processing scale.

  • No historical analysis

    Past documents can't be revisited for trend or batch-level analysis once deleted.

  • No backward debugging

    Errors must be reproduced live — there's no replay against historical inputs.

  • Limited model fine-tuning

    We can't tune the model on your real production data; accuracy improvements rely on broader datasets.
