About My Documents

What are My Documents?
My Documents is a feature that allows members to upload electronic copies of their identity documents, registration certificates and criminal records checks to Workthewilds.com's secure document storage facility. Once uploaded, each document is reviewed by one of our trained staff. Where possible, we check that the personal details contained in the document match those provided by the Workthewilds.com account holder. This is the beginning and end of our verification process. Members are still responsible for verifying that the documents are genuine.

Who can view My Documents?
You have complete control over which parents can view a particular document. There is no requirement to provide someone  access to documents but this feature is a useful, safe and secure tool to help employers and give them security and peace of mind
.
How can we be sure the documents are real?
We can’t. Where possible, we check that the personal details match those provided by the account holder. Workthewilds.com recommend you ask to see original copies of the documents before you hire them. We always recommend you endeavor to verify the authenticity and accuracy of the documents. Once you have verified the authenticity, we recommend verifying that they are valid, as some registrations and check expire and need to be updated regularly. Employees can start uploading their documents by going to My Documents.

How secure are My Documents?
The safety and security of your documents is one of our highest priorities. Once you have uploaded a document, it is encrypted and stored in our secure document storage facility. Other Work The Wilds members can't view your documents unless you explicitly choose to invite them. You are in complete control over which members can view each document. In most instances we are able to add a digital watermark to your document which makes it clear that the document has come from workthewilds.com.

In order to validate documents and support our members, a small number of workthewilds.com employees are able to view your documents. We use industry best practices to ensure only the right people have access to do so, and all access is logged in an audit trail.
