Privacy

Last updated: May 2026

Short version: your uploaded documents are not stored. They live on our server only long enough to extract text, get parsed by Claude, and return a result. After that they’re deleted. We don’t log personal data and we don’t sell anything.

What we do with your document

When you upload a policy, quote, or renewal PDF (or image, or text), our backend extracts the text using PDF tooling and OCR where needed. The extracted text is sent to Anthropic’s Claude API for parsing into a structured format. The result is returned to your browser. The uploaded file and the extracted text are not written to long-term storage and are not retained past the request.

Third parties involved

  • Anthropic (Claude API) — processes the extracted document text to produce structured output. Anthropic does not train on data sent via the API.
  • Railway — hosts the backend that handles parsing.
  • Vercel — hosts this website and provides anonymous traffic analytics (page views, country, device type — no IP addresses or personal identifiers stored).

What we don't do

  • We don’t require an account.
  • We don’t track or store who uploaded what.
  • We don’t sell, share, or transmit your data to insurers, comparison sites, or advertisers.
  • We don’t use behavioural tracking cookies. The only analytics in use are anonymous and aggregated.

Affiliate links

PolicyScanner may include affiliate links to comparison sites like MoneySupermarket. If you click an affiliate link and choose to switch policies, we may earn a small commission at no cost to you. We don’t pass any of your uploaded data to those partners.

Status of this tool
