Persona rules out AI training on personal data and defaults to deleting verification data the moment a check completes, but it acts as a processor and sends individual rights requests back to the business that requested the check.

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

No training on your data

The policy states plainly that no personal data, including biometric data, is used for any AI or model training, and that data is not sold or shared with third parties.

Immediate deletion by default

The default setting deletes all personal data as soon as processing finishes and an outcome is reached, with facial-geometry scan data destroyed on the same trigger and stored encrypted if a customer directs retention.

Rights are redirected, not offered

Individuals are told to contact the business they dealt with to exercise privacy rights, and the policy names no deletion, portability, or objection mechanism of its own.

The terms claim a broad content licence

The separate terms of service take a worldwide, transferable, and sublicensable licence over content submitted to the service, and commit to no breach-notification timeframe.

What the policy is silent or vague on

Not stated: whether training use differs by plan
Not stated: your ownership of generated outputs
Not stated: a right to delete your data
Not stated: data portability
