How Your Data Is Handled

Your name and address never touch our database. We search, show you the results, and move on.

The server passes your info to public databases. It doesn't save it.

What Each Party Sees

JustClaim Server

·Your name, city, zip — used to search, then discarded
·Your email — stored so we can alert you about new claims
·Random ID + timestamp — to connect your payment to your scan

Public Databases

·Your name + location — same as if you searched them yourself
·Each database has its own privacy policy

Your Browser

·The results — stored locally so you can see them
·Cleared when you close the tab or after 48 hours

What's Stored Where

Your Browser (sessionStorage)Your device

·Claim names and sources
·Estimated amounts
·Filing links and claim guides

Cleared when you close the tab or after 48 hours.

JustClaim DatabaseOur server

·Your email address
·Random scan ID
·Timestamp
·Whether you paid

That's it. No names, no addresses, no claim data.

StripePayment processor

·Card number, billing address
·Transaction record

Handled entirely by Stripe. We never see your card.

Emails

Your email is the only personal info we keep. Here's exactly what we do with it.

We send you alerts when we find new money

·New class action settlements in your area
·Newly reported unclaimed property in your state
·Government benefits you may qualify for

We don't

·Sell or share your email with anyone
·Send spam or partner promotions
·Make it hard to leave — every email has one-click unsubscribe

The Code

This is what actually runs. No hand-waving.

From the scan endpoint — this is what gets saved to the database:

app/api/scan/route.ts

// This is everything we store. Nothing else.
await supabase
  .from('scans')
  .insert({
    scan_token: scanToken,
    email: userEmail,
    expires_at: new Date(
      Date.now() + 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000
    ).toISOString(),
  });

And this is how results are saved — in your browser, not ours:

lib/scan-storage.ts

// Results live in your browser. We never see them.
sessionStorage.setItem(
  `jc_scan_${scanToken}`,
  JSON.stringify({
    claims: data.claims,
    totalAmount: data.totalAmount,
    sources: data.sources,
    timestamp: Date.now(),
  })
);

Database Schema
