Sharing & Privacy

Who owns the information in my profile?

Ownership stays with the individual using Persona. A hiring manager cannot automatically browse a candidate's private profile or personal report merely because they work together. Profile access, personal report sharing, and employer screening are separate choices. Review the named recipient and requested purpose before granting permission.

Before sharing, how can I preview the recipient's view?

Preview Recipient View lets you inspect selected profile claims before issuing a profile share. Personal report sharing is separate: select the recipient email, report sections, and duration, confirm the share, then use Preview Recipient View on that grant. Report recipients need their own matching verified Persona sign-in. Unselected report sections are not visible.

Once information is shared, can I withdraw access?

Revocation stops further access through the affected share, and expiration also closes access. Manage profile grants under Sharing and personal report grants on the check. Invitation subjects can use Revoke Requester Access without canceling their own check. Revocation cannot erase information a recipient already saw or retained outside Persona, but the owner's private report remains unchanged.

How does a recipient open a shared profile securely?

Recipients use the profile-sharing link supplied by the owner and complete its recipient-email confirmation before viewing approved claims. A personal report share follows a different route: sign in to Persona with the matching verified email and open Reports shared with me. Neither route provides the owner's login or permission to browse unrelated personal information.

Why might an otherwise valid sharing link stop working?

Access can end when the owner revokes a grant, its expiry is reached, or a profile share exhausts its permitted views. A mismatched recipient email also prevents entry. Personal report shares additionally depend on current report authorization and account eligibility. Ask the owner to review the grant rather than trying another person's credentials.

Can recipients download everything they can view?

Downloads are not permitted in the shared-profile recipient view, and personal report sharing does not expose a download action. Viewing selected claims does not grant access to source files, identity evidence, or the owner-only FBI result. Owners may have separate download controls for their own records; those controls are not inherited by another viewer.

Which version of a credential does a recipient see?

Versions keep a profile share tied to the exact claim selected when it was issued. Editing a credential creates a new version rather than silently replacing the recipient's approved snapshot. The recipient view can flag that a newer owner version exists and show freshness or dispute information. Review those signals before relying on an older snapshot.
