Data protection and secure document handling

Privacy and Document Submission

MOTOEXPERT document submission should follow clear data protection, purpose limitation, minimisation and anonymisation principles. Candidates and appraisers should submit only documents required for the specific review stage.

Submission principles

Document submission should be structured and limited to the necessary purpose.

Purpose

Purpose limitation

Documents are submitted for membership, candidate review, certification, recertification or status review.

Minimum

Data minimisation

Do not submit unnecessary personal data, unrelated case files or random attachments.

Anonymisation

Sample work without third-party data

Previous appraisals and calculations should be anonymised before submission.

Format

PDF preferred

PDF files are preferred for structured review and document control.

Security

Controlled access

Submitted documents should be accessible only to authorised persons involved in the review.

Retention

Limited retention

Documents should be retained only as long as necessary for association purposes and legal or organisational obligations.

Important notice before upload

Do not upload documents containing personal data of third parties unless MOTOEXPERT has specifically requested them for a justified review purpose. Sample appraisal documents must be anonymised before submission. Submitting documents does not mean admission to MOTOEXPERT or certification as a MOTOEXPERT appraiser.

Structured request type

To avoid unstructured e-mail traffic, document submissions should be assigned to a request type such as new candidate application, supplementary candidate documents, certification review documents, certificate status update, membership question or other association matter.
