Intellicheck, Inc. along with its affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively, “Intellicheck,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) provides this Biometric Information Policy (“Policy”) to describe the biometric identifiers we collect, how long we keep them, and guidelines for permanently destroying them. Intellicheck provides this Policy in accordance with applicable standards and laws regulating biometric information including, but not limited to, the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (“BIPA”).
What are Biometric Identifiers?
In this Policy, a “biometric identifier” means a retina or iris scan, fingerprint, voiceprint, or scan of hand or face geometry.
Our Purpose for Collecting Your Biometric Identifier
Intellicheck uses third-party, facial recognition software to verify your identity as part of our security and fraud prevention services.
When you request services from a Company using our identity verification and fraud prevention services (hereinafter, our “Services”) we may collect photographs of you to confirm your identity. Our process requires two photographs: 1. A current picture of yourself using your smartphone (you may call this a “selfie”), and 2. A picture of a government-issued identification (e.g., passport, state-issued identification card or driver’s license, etc.).
We use third party software to help you capture the selfie, prepare both pictures for matching, and analyze the photos to determine whether they match. The third-party software scans your facial geometry and provides us with a score measuring the similarities between the two photographs and the likelihood of a match (hereinafter, “matching score”).
Retention and Use of Your Biometric Identifier
Intellicheck and/or its vendor(s) will retain facial geometry scans, the resulting biometric identifiers, and the matching scores for up to one week. The information is collected for the operation, performance and support of the Services and is permanently deleted within one week. Neither Intellicheck nor its third-party software provider will sell, lease, trade, or otherwise profit from your matching score or biometric identifier.
Biometric identifiers will not be disclosed by Intellicheck outside of the stated purposes in this policy unless: (i) we obtain your consent, (ii) a law requires us to do so, or (iii) a valid legal subpoena requires us to do so.
Changes to This Policy
Intellicheck reserves the right to amend this Policy at any time. We will post changes to the Policy on this page.
