Nametag's policy is unusually strong on biometric governance and human review of automated identity decisions, while retention runs to three years and the security and breach disclosures stay generic.

What Nametag's privacy policy and terms of service say about your data

Biometric consent is named and bounded

The policy requests prior consent before facial matching, names AWS as the recognition provider, and rules out selling, leasing or trading biometric data, citing the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act.

A human can revisit an automated denial

Identity verification is acknowledged as automated decision-making, and on request a human reviewer reassesses the case and communicates both the outcome and the rationale.

Training uses user data with a narrow escape hatch

Models are trained partly on user data collected during service operation; the named "Delete my Data" feature excludes data from further processing and training, though the policy frames that around ID-card information.

Retention is long and security wording is vague

Personal and biometric information may be kept for up to three years after the last interaction, encryption is described only as "advanced" with no algorithm or protocol named, and the policy sets out no commitment to notify users of a breach.

What the policy is silent or vague on

Not stated: whether training use differs by plan
Not stated: a deletion timeline after closure or request
Not stated: shorter retention for AI conversation logs
Not stated: a safeguard for international data transfers
