Verification & Trust Safeguards

What happens after you register

Verification before forwarding

Your licence and each certification are read by a real person on the 3-W desk after registration and before your profile or documents are forwarded to any employer, contractor, or agency. Unverified profiles are never visible to employers.

How your documents are stored

Licensure and certification uploads are encrypted in transit (TLS), stored in a directory blocked from direct web access, served only to you, the reviewer, and — after you accept a deployment or an interview invitation — that specific contractor, with every admin access recorded in an audit log. We store credentials, not patient records: nothing you upload is protected health information, and we never ask for it.

You control who sees what

Search visibility, contact release, crew-call texts, and the shareable credential manifest are each switched on by you, per feature, from your account — and each can be switched off just as easily. Delete your account and your documents go with it.
