Face images and identity documents or ID cards uploaded by the Customer's end user
After the Customer's end user provides consent and enables camera permissions, we ask the user to capture images of their ID card. We then use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to extract data, such as their name and ID number. We also collect face images and video streams for real-time face detection and identity verification. When an end user uses the ID_NFC function of ID Verification, we read the document using the Near Field Communication (NFC) permission on their device.

Received from the Customer or collected directly by the SDK at the Customer's request.

Device permission data
To support the product's features and ensure secure and stable operation, ID Verification requests or uses certain permissions from the end user's operating system. For more information about the specific permissions required, see the developer guide.

We do not comply with requests made directly by a Customer's end users or their authorized agents.
