What you earn shouldn't disappear when you leave.
Jobs change.
Companies change.
Recognition often vanishes.
Ownstory ensures what you earn stays with you — across roles, careers, and retirement.
What an Ownstory Page Is
A personal, lifelong registry that exists:
It is owned by you, written by others, and preserved independently of employers.
This is not a page and not a feed.
Two Separate Layers
Recognition Records
- •Issued by organisations
- •Structured, factual, and immutable
- •These build career-long proof of earned value
Appreciation & Celebrations
- •Messages, photos, videos, and voice notes
- •From colleagues, friends, or family
- •Editable and fully controlled by you
The two layers are always kept separate.
Your Control
You decide:
who can view your page
what is private or link-only
whether appreciation is visible
which organisations may request write access
whether verification access is granted
You cannot edit issued recognition records.
This protects trust.
Verified Access
When a company requests verification:
You see who is requesting and why
You approve, deny, or time-limit access
All access is logged
No silent access. Ever.
Between Jobs or After Retirement
Your page remains active even without an employer attached.
You may choose a personal custodianship plan for long-term hosting, access control, and export options.
This is preservation, not pay-to-exist.
