Privacy

You are in complete control of how much information you share with the Trades Wallet Community:

• Public Cards: Cards or certifications that are required to be presented to a potential employer. 
  
  For more information on uploading a 'Public' card to your Wallet, click here.

• Mask a Photo: If you deem the information contained on a relevant card sensitive, or private, you may choose to 'Mask' those details (i.e. the address listed on your Government Issued ID).
  
  For more information on redacting sensitive information on an image, click here. 
  
  
• Private Cards: You may wish to keep a card or certification completely 'Private' - visible only to you. A card that is marked 'Private' within a Wallet is not shared with the Trades Wallet Community unless expressly directed by you.

   What do you mean by 'Private'?

   'Private' cards are visible only within your Self Service profile. They will not be shared with the Union or organization that own or manage your Trades Wallet, nor any employers who scan your unique QR Code on a job site.

   NOTE: Once a Card has been marked 'Private' it cannot be unmarked. To share a 'Private' card with the Trades Wallet community will require the Card to be re-submitted as a 'Public' card. 
   
   BE AWARE: If the existing card within your Wallet is being used by a member of the Trades Wallet to qualify you for a potential employment opportunity, marking a card 'Private' could interfere with that qualification.
