We utilize Personal Data about your identity, including information provided by you and our service providers, to perform verification services for Stripe or for the Users that you are transacting with, to prevent fraud and enhance security. If you provide a selfie along with an image of your identity document, Stripe may employ biometric technology to compare and calculate whether they match and verify your identity.
We use Stripe, Inc. for identity verification service that automates the comparison of your identity document (such as a driver’s license) with your image (such as a selfie). You can separately consent to us using your biometric data to enhance our verification technology, with the option to revoke your consent at any time.
Stripe provides a verification and fraud prevention Service that we can use to verify Personal Data about you, such as your authorization to use a particular payment method. During the process, you’d be asked to share with Stripe certain Personal Data (like your government ID and selfie for biometric verification, Personal Data you input, or Personal Data that is apparent from the physical payment method like a credit card image).
