How long we keep it

We keep your data while your account is open. We keep verification documents after a decision, so we have a record of how each profile was verified. Files you replace or remove, such as an old CV or a deleted document, are deleted from storage.

Security

Documents and CVs are kept in private storage that is not reachable from the internet without a short-lived link. Access to them is checked on our servers for every request. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong password and keep it private.
