Earlier quoted context omitted.

So you require someone's PICTURE to deliver the data you gathered on that person? To further augment your digital stash? Or train your models to recognize said person? (after which you delete the picture, logical - storage space costs money) I hope I'm wrong somewhere. If I'm not, I don't think I want to do business with you, or to ever have my ID checked by you if it means you'll get to keep my data- then ask me for…

As OP in this thread, this is a complete mis-read of the situation; you should re-read the other comments and consider removing this one.

A few questions: 1. "images that leave our system..." Why do they at all?? -- 2. You're a startup. Meaning: 90%+ chance you die. What procedures have you put in place to make sure that ALL the data is destroyed in case your company changes hands, so that it cannot be used by somebody whose ideas and privacy are different than yours, simply by buying you (or your carcass after you are bankrupt)? -- 3.

Thanks for taking the time to carefully read our terms of service! We share your point of view that these aren't merely a series of boxes to check. Our “privacy-first” claims are namely three-fold: 1. We limit the data returned to our customers and enforce a maximum data retention period after which data is permanently deleted. We encourage customers to reduce the amount of data they need and the number of days it mu…

disclaimer: I know some of the folks involved with Berbix I love this, for the same reason I love Stripe (and before them authorize.net et al): I don't want every vendor I use that has KYC requirements to implement their own controls on the screenshots/scans/videos/whatever of government IDs, because then there will be a huge amount of variation and some of them will inevitably get it very very wrong.
