FIELD RECOVERY // PRIVACY SUPPLEMENT
Field Recovery information
Supplement effective September 2, 2026.
We collect recovery-request text, optional reference files, and generated recovery records linked to your account. We use this information to authenticate agents, create and preserve requested recoveries, prevent misuse, fulfill orders, provide support, and comply with law.
We disclose relevant information only as reasonably necessary to categories of providers supporting cloud hosting and security, account authentication, AI-assisted content generation, commerce and payments, fulfillment, email delivery, and analytics or advertising where enabled. This notice describes information practices; it does not disclose Bureau trade secrets or proprietary recovery methods.
Optional reference files are used as short-lived source material and are excluded from the filed recovery record. The service attempts to delete them when processing ends; a storage-expiration backstop is scheduled after one day and may take additional time to complete. Filed recovery text, generated records, and account associations remain available in the Case Cabinet until the agent withdraws the field account or another lawful retention need applies. Commerce, payment, tax, fraud-prevention, and order records may remain under separate store and service-provider controls for the periods required to operate the service and comply with law.
A private report created to fulfill or document a privacy request is a separate restricted record. It may remain accessible only to the Bureau records desk for request handling, security, and compliance evidence for up to 30 days, including after a field-account withdrawal, and is then covered by an automatic storage-expiration rule. The storage provider may require additional time to complete deletion after the report becomes eligible.
Do not place contact details, government identifiers, medical information, or other sensitive personal information in recovery-request text or attachments. Marketing messages are sent only under the communication preference recorded for the account or order, and every promotional message includes an unsubscribe method. Verified agents may use the controls below to obtain or withdraw Bureau-held Field Recovery records; requests affecting commerce records may also require separate store verification.
