Data Retention Policy

The data protection legislation states that personal data should not be held longer than necessary. In order to comply with this act, Claims Portal Limited (CPL) will routinely archive and destroy any information that is no longer required.

Data Retention Policy

Claims Portal users are reminded of their own obligation to comply with Data Protection rules, as set out in the Claims Portal User Agreement, and therefore must also ensure they routinely remove claims from the Portal that are no longer required.

Once deleted from the Claims Portal it is not possible to reinstate a claim or retrieve any claims related documentation.

It is important to remember that the Claims Portal is not a case management system and that every organisation must keep their own audit trails of all claims submitted or received.  You must also ensure you print or save printable documentation at every stage of the claims process.

Claims Portal will identify and delete claims on a daily basis according to rules set in the system.

 

Settled claims

Settled claims are deleted after 30 calendar days. This includes claims reaching the following phases:

  • Stage2SettlementPackConfirmationEnd
  • Stage2SettlementPackAgreedEnd
  • Stage2SettlementPackAllDamagesAgreedEnd

 

Inactive Claims

With the exception of claims that involve children, claims that are in the following application status that have been inactive for a period of time will be deleted.

A claim will be identified as involving a child and it will not be deleted if the current date minus the claimant’s date of birth means the claimant is less than 18 years old.

Note: If a child becomes of age during the life of a claim it will follow the process flow of an adult claim, meaning the data retention rules below will apply.

End of Stage 2 (Court Proceedings Pack)
