Verify deletion rights across recovery and workflow copies
A deletion promise becomes more consequential when evidence must span systems designed for recovery as well as use.
Contractual certainty can conflict with the operational limits of retaining resilient legal-work records.
“A deletion promise without proof is exactly the kind of risk I can’t explain away.”

What pulls against what
- contractual launch vs. verified deletion proof
- recovery resilience vs. data-rights completion
- vendor assurance vs. internal control maturity
- speed to commitment vs. irreversible exposure
What is at stake
A fixed launch depends on credible proof that deletion requests reach every covered path. The wrong commitment is costly to unwind once customer terms take effect
Why Harvey
At Harvey, this can matter because enterprise legal customers may require proof that sensitive uploaded materials are handled consistently across connected product surfaces.
