Privacy
Public pay data should not expose private people.
Transparent Pay is designed around cleaned public records. Evidence is for moderation and verification, not for publication.
Documents are private
Evidence can help moderation and verification. Raw files are not public.
Identity details stay out
Names, emails, recruiter details and internal job IDs are not published in public records.
Dates may be bucketed
Exact dates can be replaced with broader buckets when that better protects the submitter.
What public records exclude
- Raw files
- Names and emails
- Recruiter details
- Internal job IDs
- Exact dates when a bucket is safer
- Identifying submission context
Suppression
If a submission is too identifying, moderators can suppress it or publish a less specific version. The goal is to make pay data useful without turning private evidence into public content.
Evidence use
Evidence is used only for moderation and verification. Public records show cleaned pay range data, not raw files or identifying details.
