Our Promise
Your Social Security information is personal and private. We protect it with industry-leading security standards.
HIPAA-Level Care
(Even though we're not healthcare providers)
While we are not governed by HIPAA, we voluntarily follow confidentiality standards inspired by HIPAA principles. We understand the sensitivity of your Social Security earnings history, XML files, and financial information.
Protecting your privacy is part of our identity—not just a legal requirement.
Limited Access
Only Ray R. Harris, RSSA®, and other certified analysts at The Claiming Experts who are directly involved in your case may access your documents. We never share your data with unrelated third parties
Confidentiality
Your financial information is treated with the same respect and caution we apply to our own families.
You deserve clarity without fear of misuse, exposure, or unwanted sales outreach.
Secure Documents
Your Social Security data (including SSA XML files) is transferred using industry-standard 256-bit encrypted file protection—the same level widely used by financial institutions.
After your support window ends, these raw files are permanently deleted following our Data Retention Policy
We retain only your Strategy Report—not your raw SSA data.
No Password Requests
We will never ask you for:
- Your SSA.gov login
- Banking or investment passwords
- Your full Social Security Number
- Any credential that could expose your accounts
Your uploads occur through a secure, encrypted portal.
For Financial Advisors
When an advisor submits a client’s information, we process that data solely for the purpose of preparing the purchased analysis. We do not contact, solicit, or market to your clients, and we do not retain raw SSA data beyond the designated retention window.
Your client relationship remains completely yours.
