Proof Passport visibility

Learners should control what evidence is private, shared with link, employer-visible or public where the platform allows.

Employer access limits

Employers should only access evidence that is shared, authorized, aggregated, anonymized or permitted by the relevant pathway, mission or cohort rules.

Partner cohort reporting

Partner reports should prioritize aggregated capability insights unless participant-level detail is explicitly authorized and lawful.

Research participation

Research surveys, interviews and case submissions should be consent-based with clear purpose statements and transparent status labels for published outputs.

Cookies and analytics

Certifiedge may use essential and analytics technologies as the platform develops. Cookie controls and detail logs should be updated before broad public launch.

Data sharing and retention

  • Data sharing should follow purpose limitation and approved access controls.
  • Retention windows should match platform, legal and quality-review needs.
  • Expired or unnecessary records should be archived or removed according to policy and legal requirements.

Learner rights and choices

  • request access to personal data held in account scope
  • request correction of inaccurate profile data

  • withdraw optional consent for specific programs where practical
  • request clarification about data use and sharing

Security measures

Certifiedge is intended to support role-based access, record traceability and secure handling practices, subject to ongoing technical and legal review.

Children and minors

Programs involving minors should include stronger consent and safeguarding controls before launch.

Cross-border users

Cross-border delivery may require additional legal review for transfer, consent and reporting obligations.
