FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What address will my portfolio have?
Every account gets a free address like yourname.portfolio-os.online. You can change it (once a day; the old address keeps redirecting) and connect a domain you own.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. Add the domain in your dashboard, create the DNS records we show you, and we verify ownership and HTTPS before it goes live. Your free address then redirects to your domain.
Is my information public?
Only what you publish. Every entry has its own visibility, contact details are hidden unless you switch them on, and drafts, documents and requests are private by default.
What does document verification prove?
That a document with a given ID was issued through Portfolio OS, its current status (valid, revoked, expired, superseded), and whether a PDF is byte-for-byte identical to the issued file. It does not certify that an employer or institution endorsed the claims in it.
Are electronic signatures legally binding?
Signatures are captured with explicit consent and bound to the exact document version, which supports many electronic-signature frameworks. Legal effect varies by country and document type; for regulated documents use a qualified e-signature provider.
Can someone ask me for a recommendation?
If you enable it, visitors can submit a request from your portfolio. You choose whether to accept, decline or ask for more information, and nothing is issued or published without your action.
Can I export or delete my data?
Yes. Download a complete JSON export at any time, and request account deletion from your settings.
Do you show ads on my portfolio?
No. A small “Built with Portfolio OS” link appears in the footer.
