Workfry Privacy Policy

1. Progressive Identity Disclosure Architecture

Workfry operates under a strict privacy-first principle termed Progressive Identity Disclosure. Public marketplace visitors and applicants evaluate professional track records, trust scores, and portfolios solely under protected Workfry Public IDs (e.g. WF-10482, CL-10024) and professional aliases.

Personal legal names, personal emails, direct phone numbers, and physical billing addresses are isolated in encrypted database partitions protected by PostgreSQL Row Level Security (RLS) and are never exposed during discovery or initial proposal discussions.

2. Multi-Tier Verification & KYC Storage

Government-issued identification (such as national identity cards, passports, PAN) and corporate certificates (such as GSTIN) submitted for credibility badges are stored in private, encrypted cloud storage buckets (`kyc-private`). These documents are used solely for compliance audits and are never accessible to other platform users.

3. Mutual Disclosure Triggers

Mutual verified legal identity disclosure between a Service Seeker (Client) and a Service Provider (Specialist) is triggered only upon formal offer acceptance. Once an offer is accepted by both parties, an official contract workroom is established, and verified business identities are shared to satisfy legal compliance, milestone contracting, and tax-compliant invoicing.

4. Value-Added Consultation Calls

Optional voice and video consultation sessions booked on Workfry are conducted within secure, isolated platform sessions. Raw personal telephone numbers and personal communication credentials are never shared.

5. Data Retention & User Rights

Users retain full rights to update their public profiles, request copies of their transactional history, or initiate account closure. In accordance with regional commercial regulations, financial milestone audit logs are retained securely for statutory accounting compliance.
