Credly

Credly is a digital credentialing platform that allows organizations to create, issue, and manage digital badges to recognize individuals' skills and achievements. Their primary customers are educational institutions, corporations, and professional associations that use the service to translate learning outcomes into verifiable digital credentials. The platform collects personal data such as names and email addresses to issue these credentials, which individuals can then manage and share online. Having a public profile on Credly that showcases professional achievements and skills could expose individuals to unwanted attention or contact. While the platform is designed for professional recognition, the aggregation of skills and credentials could be used by recruiters or others for purposes beyond the user's intent. To protect yourself, it is important to manage your privacy settings, be mindful of what information is publicly visible, and consider making your profile or individual credentials private if you have concerns.
