We maintain a current list of subprocessors and provide it on request to support@claimrecon.com. We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect our legal rights.

Encrypted backups may retain residual data for up to 7 additional days before being overwritten. AI chatbot usage metadata (message counts and session identifiers) is retained for up to 30 days and then automatically deleted.
