Privacy by Design

VURA never shares candidate data without explicit, per-request approval. This isn't a checkbox at registration — it's a live consent flow that gives candidates complete control.

Every data access is logged, auditable, and fully GDPR compliant. Both parties know exactly what's been shared and when.

1

Employer Expresses Interest

An employer reviews your public profile summary and clicks "Request Access" to your full verified data.

2

Candidate Gets Notified

You receive a notification with the employer's company name, role they're hiring for, and what data they want to access.

3

You Approve or Decline

You review the request and make your decision. Decline and nothing is shared. Approve and the employer can proceed to unlock.

4

Data Shared Securely

Only after your approval and the employer's payment is your full verified profile made accessible. Everything is logged for your records.
