Standout ensures information security through both technical and administrative measures:
- end-to-end encryption: All WhatsApp messages are protected by the platform's native encryption, so third parties cannot intercept chats, and documents such as resumes are transmitted over encrypted links;
- The principle of data minimization: Only necessary information is collected (e.g., professional background) and full resumes are not shared with companies without the user's consent (initial communications are sent only as a background summary);
- Enterprise qualification audit: Proof of VC investment and employment compliance records are required for partnering startups to avoid false hiring;
- user control: Historical data can be requested to be deleted at any time via WhatsApp, or access can be restricted to specific businesses.
The platform explicitly promises not to use user data for non-recruitment purposes such as advertising, and details of the privacy policy can be viewed on the official website.
