Privacy and erasure

Short version of what we store and why. Vouchers and attesters are data subjects too.

Candidates

  • Email, display name, headline and the employment records you enter.
  • An optional CV, stored as-is and never shown on your page. Delete it any time.
  • Signed verification and vouch records. They are immutable; you can hide them but not edit them.
  • Raw uploaded documents (payslips, contracts) are deleted automatically after 30 days. Only a signed attestation with a hash of the files survives.
  • Delete your account from the dashboard: everything above is removed.

Vouchers and employer contacts

  • Your email address, the name you enter and your structured answers.
  • Your name is shown to viewers only if you choose so. The platform always knows who vouched; that is what makes a vouch accountable.
  • "Would you work with them again: no" is never displayed to anyone, including the candidate.
  • No free-text criticism is collected. There is no negative vouch.
  • To exercise your right of access or erasure, email privacy@example.com from the address you vouched with.

What we never do

  • Make automated decisions about anyone. Records here are inputs to a human decision.
  • Compute or show a single "trust score".
  • Offer search or a directory. Pages are reachable only by the link the candidate shares.
