At least one public contact method and its consent are required. Do not include private details in your public biography.
Directory privacy and retention Private administrative email and review information are available only to authorized reviewers and administrators. Approved profiles and your selected contact methods are public. Pending applications are deleted after 90 days without a change; declined applications after 90 days; removed profiles after 30 days. Published profiles expire and are unpublished after 730 days without confirmation or approval, then follow the removed-profile period. Review logs expire after 365 days. Secure links expire after 15 minutes, editing sessions and unsubmitted previews after 30 minutes. Declined edit snapshots of published profiles expire after 30 days. Expired access records are purged hourly; abandoned and superseded photos within 24 hours after their references expire; captured email and delivery records after 7 days. These are scheduled targets and require a functioning WordPress scheduler. Removal immediately unpublishes but is not a permanent-deletion request. Ask the association for a copy of your data or permanent erasure. Site backup copies follow the association’s separate backup policy, which must be disclosed before deployment. External search engines and caches may update later.
