Elite Status Verification - Data Promise for Drivers

Your Trust. Our Commitment. Your Data Protected.

At Elite Driver Jobs, we understand that submitting your professional credentials for verification requires trust. This Data Promise explains exactly how we handle your sensitive information during the Elite Status verification process.

Our Data Promise to You

We Collect Only What We Need

  • Driving licence details and check codes
  • Right to work check codes (if required)
  • Professional qualifications and certifications
  • Identity verification documents
  • Nothing more, nothing less

We Verify and Delete

Your sensitive documents follow a strict process:

  1. Secure Upload: Documents encrypted during transmission
  2. Human Verification: Reviewed by our trained verification team
  3. Official Checks: Verified against DVLA and official records
  4. Status Awarded: Elite Status badge added to your profile
  5. Documents Deleted: All documents permanently destroyed within 7 days

We retain only your verification status - never your actual documents.

We Never Share Your Documents

  • Documents are never shared with employers or third parties

We Protect Your Information

  • Bank-level encryption for all data transmission

We See (Then Delete):
