CaseLink Trust Center
Document Preservation Policy
CaseLink may preserve documents and document metadata to support source review, case research, timeline work, relationship discovery, and audit history.
Effective: July 15, 2026
1. Documents CaseLink may handle
Documents may include uploaded files, public PDFs, agency notices, court documents, FOIA records, archived pages, source screenshots, extracted text, and supporting attachments.
2. Metadata preserved
CaseLink may retain filename, source URL, upload context, uploader account, timestamps, MIME type, hash or identifier, extracted text, page references, related case/entity/source links, and review status.
3. Restricted documents
Some documents should remain restricted to authorized users because they contain sensitive personal information, private submissions, family context, investigative notes, or safety risks.
4. No guarantee of permanent storage
CaseLink may preserve documents for research context, but it does not guarantee permanent storage, evidence custody, legal admissibility, or official archive status.
5. Review and removal
Documents may be corrected, redacted, restricted, removed, or archived based on accuracy, legality, safety, privacy, duplication, and source quality.
