Security & trust
Effective date: September 1, 2026Last updated: September 1, 2026
Privacy at a glance
- Privacy-first by design for households—not a HIPAA-covered health plan or clinic for this direct-to-consumer product.
- Built with HIPAA Security Rule–inspired safeguards (access control, encryption in transit, document PII redaction, private storage)—without claiming HIPAA certification.
- We do not sell your health information to advertisers or data brokers.
How we protect your data
- Family-scoped access: Signed-in sessions (Clerk) and household (organization) checks gate plans, documents, chat, and claims. APIs derive identity from the session—not from body fields you could forge.
- Encrypted in transit: TLS for the website, APIs, auth, storage fetches, and vendor calls.
- Private file storage: Uploads use private object storage with server-side signed reads—not public URLs.
- Document PII redaction + encrypted vault: After extraction, identifiers are redacted before most follow-up AI analysis; plaintext PII maps are stored with AES-256-GCM when the vault key is configured.
- Database lockdown: Supabase PostgREST roles are revoked; the app talks to Postgres from our servers only.
- Your controls: Export or schedule deletion under Settings → Your data; AI consent under Settings → Privacy & AI.
What we never claim
- We are not “HIPAA compliant” or “HIPAA certified” for this consumer product, and we are not acting as your HIPAA business associate here.
- We do not currently hold SOC 2, ISO 27001, or HITRUST attestations for BenAsk.
- We do not say we “never send data to third parties.” Auth (Clerk), hosting (Vercel), database (Supabase), and AI (OpenAI) process data as described in our Subprocessors list and Privacy Policy.
- We avoid vague slogans like “bank-level” or “military-grade” encryption.
