Privacy & Data Security

We only collect the necessary information needed to ensure session integrity. When learners demonstrate compliance with the session rules, the only personally identifiable information retained is one image of the learner, their name, and email address.  

Data that never leaves the learner’s device is far more secure than data that does. For this reason, Pyvot Verify utilizes the Integrity Advocate patent-pending application designed to execute facial detection, facial recognition, and optical character recognition processes right on the learner’s device. 

Per OSHA standards, we retain this record for 3 years. However, our Learning Management System retains the verified training record for 10 years.  

Call 877-345-1253, email us, or use the chat on alliancesafetycouncil.org. If you are a contractor in your hiring company's account, we will transfer your training record. If you are unsure of your hiring company's Alliance Safety Council admin, reach out to us.

The training required varies per the site. Some sites require only Basic Orientation Plus while others accept both or accept only Safety Essentials. It is best that you check with your contractor administrator to verify site requirements.
