How we protect your records

Your records are yours. Here is what we do to keep them safe, in plain words.

Encrypted on the way and while stored

Your files are encrypted while they travel to us and while they sit on our servers. Your files are tied to your account.

Used for your claim and nothing else

We use your records to get your claim paperwork ready. We do not sell them. We do not use them to train AI models.

You decide how long we keep them

We keep your records until you delete them. Delete one file or everything, any time, from Settings. When you delete everything, your files and the facts we pulled from them are removed right away. Your sign-in and your paid access stay, so you can come back.

Designed to align with HIPAA safeguards

AVA is not a doctor or a health plan. We built it to line up with the safeguards HIPAA asks of them anyway. That is a design goal we hold ourselves to, not a certification.

AVA never sends anything to VA

Nothing leaves AVA for VA. You download your packet and file it yourself, on VA.gov or with a free VSO.

Names and numbers are masked where we can

Before a page goes to the AI model that reads it, we mask identifiers such as Social Security numbers, phone numbers and addresses where we can. Your name and date of birth stay so the drafts are yours.

Support sees counts, not pages

When you ask support for help, they can see what happened to your files (dates, counts, whether a step finished). They do not read your pages to answer a support question unless you ask. To fix a fault in how a page was read, the owner may look at how that page was read.

What we do not claim

  • AVA is not part of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and holds no VA accreditation.
  • AVA holds no government security accreditation or authorization.
  • HIPAA has no certification. We do not claim one.
  • If a promise is not on this page, we are not making it.

The technical page says more about the design. It has the same disclaimer at the top.
