Evidence Privacy for Contractors
Evidence is powerful because it can clarify what happened, but it must be handled carefully. Client Bureau keeps raw files private while allowing public pages to show limited evidence-on-file labels when a report or profile has been moderated.

When this helps
Use the workflow for a specific business decision.
Invoices, contracts, messages, photos, receipts, screenshots, signed packets, and job notes should stay in private workspaces unless reviewed into a public-safe summary.
- A contractor wants to attach invoices, contracts, messages, and photos to a private job or report.
- A report needs evidence confidence without showing raw documents publicly.
- An admin needs to review whether a public summary is supported by private documentation.
Workflow
A clear path from decision to record.
- 1
Upload or label evidence inside the private workspace.
- 2
Connect evidence to a report, job, contract, recovery case, or lien service case.
- 3
Use public-safe evidence labels such as invoice reviewed, contract reviewed, photo reviewed, or messages reviewed.
- 4
Never publish raw files, storage paths, private contact details, staff-only review notes, or unmoderated evidence.
Trust and privacy guardrails
Useful records without public overexposure.
Public pages can say evidence is on file without showing the evidence file.
Evidence labels should support careful summaries, not inflammatory or unsupported claims.
Admins should redact private identifiers before any public summary is approved.
Common questions
What evidence can a contractor store?
Contracts, invoices, receipts, messages, photos, completion proof, change orders, signed packets, payment requests, and timeline notes can be organized privately.
What evidence appears publicly?
Public pages should show only limited labels or moderated summaries. Raw files, private addresses, phone numbers, emails, evidence paths, and staff-only review notes stay private.
Can evidence be used in recovery or lien workflows?
Yes. Evidence can support private payment recovery, Florida lien service review, contracts, jobs, and reports, but legal review may still be needed for legal rights or filings.
