Data Sharing & Third Parties
We do not sell your personal information. We share your data only in the following circumstances:
With companies (when you opt in)
When a company views your Developer Passport or you apply to a role, they can see the information you've chosen to make visible. You control exactly what employers see.

We work with trusted third-party providers who help us operate DevPass, including:
- Cloud hosting and infrastructure providers

These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and cannot use it for their own purposes.
For legal requirements
We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or government request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of DevPass, our users, or the public.
Data Security
We take security seriously and implement industry-standard measures to protect your data:
- All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256).
- We use role-based access controls and audit logging internally.
- Regular security assessments and penetration testing.
- SOC 2 Type II compliance is on our roadmap for 2026.
While we take every reasonable precaution, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it through our responsible disclosure program.
