Worker-owned badge explanation
A PRAMAAN worker badge is designed to belong to the worker, not the employer, platform, or society that first requested verification. That matters because the worker is the person who keeps proving identity and trust across jobs.
Platform-owned vs worker-owned
| Model | Who controls reuse? | Worker experience |
|---|---|---|
| Platform-owned | The platform or requester | The worker may repeat the same document flow repeatedly. |
| Worker-owned | The worker, subject to status and sharing rules | The worker can present a badge across opportunities. |

Worker rights and privacy
Portability should minimize repeated document collection. It should not mean unlimited exposure. Workers should understand what they are sharing, with whom, and for what purpose.
Employer and society sharing
Employers, societies, and platforms may still need role-specific checks. A worker-owned badge can reduce friction, but it should not be treated as permanent validity or a guarantee of future conduct.
