Is Socure safe with your data?
Socure
Weak disclosure · high confidence
Socure earns a D (46/100) because it leaves much about its data practices unstated.

vs category average
Socure's privacy notice is unusually specific about what it keeps and for how long, but it tells you plainly that identity documents and selfies may be used to train machine learning models, and most of the rights it lists have to be exercised through the business that sent you rather than with Socure.
What Socure's privacy policy and terms of service say about your data
Documents and selfies feed model training
The notice states that identity documents and images may be used to train and test machine learning models, and it offers no general opt-out for people outside the UK, EEA and Canada.
Rights route through the business that sent you
For anything tied to a specific identity check, Socure says it acts on its customer's instructions and directs people to contact that customer instead, and it lists circumstances where a request may be refused outright.
Retention is spelled out in named periods
A published table gives maximum retention per data category, including one year for biometric information and selfies and seven years for identifiers and transaction data.
No sale or sharing, and named certifications
Socure states it does not sell or share personal information, recognises Global Privacy Control, and holds ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications with a named Data Protection Officer.
What the policy is silent or vague on
- Not stated: keeping user inputs out of model training
- Not stated: a way to opt out of training
- Not stated: whether training use differs by plan
- Not stated: your ownership of generated outputs

Documents examined
Each grade reflects our analysis of what an app states in its public privacy policy and terms as of the assessment date. It measures the transparency of those documents, not the company's actual data practices, security, or compliance. Grades are our opinion, offered for general information. Full disclaimer.
