Document & Privacy Handling

How verification documents are reviewed, stored, and kept out of public view.

Last updated September 1, 2026

How documents are handled

  • Private documents are submitted and used for verification review
  • Raw private documents are never publicly displayed on listings or profiles
  • Access is limited to authorized HerdVerified personnel performing review
  • Public-facing profiles and listings show verification status, not the underlying documents
  • You must have the right to submit any document you upload

Retention

Documents are retained while needed to support the verification status shown, and for safety, legal, or fraud-prevention purposes. See the Privacy Policy for full detail.
