If you chose Premium when you bought your Policy Pack, it starts on day 91 by itself. If you don't keep Premium, your portal access ends on day 90, and the policy files you downloaded are still yours to keep and use. We remind you by email and in the portal 30, 14, 7 and 1 days before your access ends."},{"q":"Does \"one-time\" mean the portal is ours for life?","a":"No, and we want to be clear about it. One-time means the policy files: you pay once and they are yours for good. The portal is a service: every Policy Pack includes 90 days in it, with Premium, and after that it stays open with Premium, monthly or yearly."},{"q":"What happens to our data?","a":"We only keep your data while you are with us. When your access ends, your logins and your staff can no longer sign in, and your account is paused for 7 days: subscribe in that time and everything is back as it was. After that, your account and all its data are permanently deleted, including your staff list, staff sign-off records, reworded sections, your own policies and uploaded files. Your agency is responsible for keeping its own records, such as staff sign-offs. Download them before your access ends."},{"q":"Can we download everything?","a":"Yes, in one click, any time while you have access, on every package. You get one zip file with your policies, the full manual, your forms, your own policies and your staff sign-off records. Find it under Your data in your portal. Downloading is never locked behind Premium."},{"q":"Can we change the wording, or add our own policies?","a":"Yes, with Premium, and it is included in your first 90 days. Change any section to match how your agency works and restore our original wording whenever you like. You can also add a policy you wrote yourself (Word, PDF or text) and it takes the same layout. Only your agency can see it. Your wording is part of your data, so download it if you leave."},{"q":"Do I have to buy the Policy Pack?","a":"Yes.
