It's worth noting that many of us do NOT spend a considerable amount of our free time on the forums and may not always revisit every thread we've engaged in. Instead of resorting to the typical passive-aggressive "Minnesota Nice" response, it might be more effective for you to directly reach out to the person (re: a private message) if you need a reply.

""As a provider, would you be willing to share your preferred background check platform that a client could then download the app on his/her/them's phone and allow you to conduct your screening on his/her/their phone instead of yours?""
Knowing the exact platforms we use is absolutely unnecessary. It not only breaches my security, but more importantly it compromises the security of other providers AND clients. Moreover, it creates a logistical nightmare as I now need to delve further into your phone to ensure the search history has been throughly cleared. But wait, if your device is linked to your Google or Apple account, the search history may be linked via their respective cloud platforms. Do you not see the immense security risk involved here?
---------------------------------
"It would do wonders if provider's could take a step in our direction to assure us that there is ZERO intention of any personal data retention."
If I understand you correctly, are you suggesting that a provider who accommodates the request to meet a client in public, without sufficient screening information other than a mere board handle, is not taking a step towards your preference and in your direction? Just to clarify, is that your stance?
If you're not satisfied with a provider who is willing to meet you publicly with only your board handle to then complete screening in person when that's, in my person opinion a beyond accommodating step, then it's clear that you're the one refusing to take a step towards us. At that point, you're just be obstinate.

You've been around since at least 2007 and based on your reviews, you're not "one of the boomers on here that really doesn't like to send my [re: your] DNA, wife's lawyers cell# and last 5 years tax returns across the internet" but you have P411. So I'm failing to see what your issue is... stick to people who accept P411 screening.
