IDEMIA understands the importance of, and is committed to, protecting and securing the personal data we process. This policy sets out how IDEMIA protects personal data in relation to the service we provide on behalf of our customers through the trial of Identity Proofing platform (the “Service”). With this Service, our customers can experiment the following:

  • Identity Proofing;
  • Document Capture and Authentication;
  • Biometric capture and comparison including Liveness.

Ultimately, the Service is designed and maintained to improve the timeliness, accuracy and transparency of controls that are performed on Customers’ end-users for identity check.

IDEMIA does not use personal data for any other purpose than the purpose described above, including for marketing or research purposes. However, IDEMIA and its subcontractors shall have the right to use personal data in order to improve its own identity solutions.

  1. IDEMIA’s Service provide advanced services to identify and validate a user identity.  

    1. Identity Proofing: The Identity proofing engine ensures that all the identity evidences submitted by the end user are analysed and compared to bring the level of assurance we have on someone’s identity. The various checks performed includes connexion to external system of record (SoR) to compare the claimed identity with reference identity from trusted source, Identity document verification, portrait check.
    2. Document capture and Authentication: The document capture and authentication service assesses the genuineness of a state (government) identity document such as Driving License, Identity card, Resident card and Passport. The service captures and analyses front and back images and videos of the end user document identity to detect security features, any tampering on portrait or identity information as well as detects Screen and photocopies.
    3. Biometric capture and comparison including Liveness: The biometric capture and comparison services ensure that the end user conducting the proofing journey is the same person as claimed on the Identity attributes. The service assesses the end user liveness during a capture video session and then compare the acquired (live) portrait with either the portrait on a validated ID document or with a system of record (SoR).
  2. In order to provide the Service, IDEMIA needs to collect personal data related to its Customers’ users. This personal data is not collected directly by IDEMIA, but by IDEMIA’s Customers. The latter shall ensure that they have a proper legal basis to collect the personal data, such as consent as appropriate. Customers shall also provide their user with all necessary information with regards to the processing of his / her personal data.
