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

Biometric data destroyed within 3 years

For Illinois residents, Veriff "will permanently destroy their biometric identifiers and biometric information when the initial purpose for collecting or obtaining such identifiers or information has been satisfied or within 3 years of the individual's last interaction with Veriff, whichever occurs first".

Verification data excluded from sale or ad sharing

The policy states its "'sale,' 'sharing' and 'targeted advertising' activities do not apply to personal information that we collect in the course of providing identity verification services to our Customers".

Human review of automated verification

Verification can be a "Fully automated verification process", but the policy gives you "the right to request human intervention or object to the decision made on grounds relating to your particular situation".

Unneeded document data blurred or deleted

Veriff "aims to delete/blur or make in other ways unreadable any data or documents presented in the session that are not necessary for Veriff's service provision". The wording is an aim rather than a commitment.

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
