How your data is handled

What we keep

Your name, email and member ID from your ALA login; the states you track; the courses you log; and any certificates you upload. That's all.

Who can see it

Only you, and ALA staff who support the tracker. Nothing about you appears to other members unless you turn it on yourself in Profile & privacy: the leaderboard shows a display name and hour totals, and a public profile shows the courses you took. Joining a group shows your totals to that group only. Your email, license numbers and certificates are never shown to other members.

Your certificates

Stored privately. They can only be opened through a link that works for five minutes and only after we confirm it's you (or ALA staff).

What we don't do

We don't sell or share your data, run ads, or report to state boards on your behalf. You stay responsible for confirming your state's requirements with its licensing board; the rules shown here are ALA's summary.

Deleting and exporting

You can download everything from Transcript & export. Entries you delete are kept recoverable for a period in case of mistakes. To have your record removed entirely, email ALA@licensedarchitect.org.

Every change is logged

So a mistake can be traced and undone, the system records who changed what and when.
