Responsible Use: Purpose, Consent, Reference, and Search ID

The core compliance habits #

The strongest day-to-day discipline in J-Cred comes down to four things: correct purpose, proper consent where required, clear internal references, and keeping the Search ID.

What this means in practice #

• Choose the correct purpose every time
• Do not use one result for a different purpose later
• Capture consent where required and keep it linkable to the search
• Always add your internal reference or case number
• Keep the Search ID as part of your audit trail

Why it matters #

These habits support lawful access, stronger auditability, faster support resolution, and better operational discipline.

Important: If your purpose changes, run a new search using the correct purpose rather than reusing the old result.
