How temporary is the CV temporary access link?

In addition to simply toggling public CV visibility, the CV publish page also has a feature allowing a user to "share your CV using this temporary access link" where "access link" is a hyperlink to a page that shows the CV by routing to it with some sort of hash in the url like this:

http://careers.stackoverflow.com/view/<some-sort-of-hash-here>

So the options are:

  • Publish the CV publicly
  • Do not publish the CV publicly
  • Sort of publish the CV publicly with this temporary link

I think the third option is cool. I could image somebody not wanting to publish a CV to the world at large, but wanting to send it to some prospective employer that is not subscribed to the employer search.

My question is this: how long is the temporary access link active? Or maybe the question should be how do I deactivate a temporary access link? Or perhaps even do I only get one temporary access link? (I've clicked on it a few times and the hash is always the same).
