Verified™ Workforce and Verified™ Consumer by authID provide a multi-factor authentication system to be used in conjunction with a Customer’s other security measures to authenticate its workforce, consumers or end-users before they access a Customer’s systems, or certain functionality of such systems. The system may also be used to authenticate callers in a call center or similar environment.
  2. Verified Information. In addition to the information referenced in Section 5(a) when you use the Verified™ by authID Service, in order to gain access to a system or obtain service from a third-party Customer, authID may receive and store additional personal information about you, in order to provide you with such service. Such information may include (but is not limited to) your first and last name, details of a particular transaction, address or other information change request, or other service that you wish to undertake or use, or that you may provide to the third-party Customer (collectively referred to as “Verified Information”).
  3. Consent to Use Verified Information. In signing up for the Verified™ Service, you consent to the transfer to and storage by authID of all such Verified Information and the use by authID of all Verified Information, for the purpose of providing and maintaining the Verified™ Service, including without limitation for data comparison and review to reduce data redundancy and fraud. You acknowledge that Verified Information may be provided to authID by You, or by a third-party Customer for whom the Verified Service is being provided.

7B. Proof

  1. Overview. Proof is a Service, which is used to enable Users to remotely provide identification documents to Customers, or otherwise to remotely authenticate a User’s identification information, for the purposes of proving the User’s identity, whether at the time the User opens an account with the Customer, or any other time when a Customer needs to establish a User’s identity. Such documents may for example be a passport, national identity card, or driver’s license. By means of the Proof Service, authID extracts the relevant data from the identification document presented by the User, compares the picture to a live reference photograph taken by the User and then authID forwards the data from the identification document including the live photograph to the Customer, which initiated the Proof Service request. If expressly required by a Customer as part of the Proof Service, authID may in addition transmit the document data and live photograph (directly or indirectly) to governmental entity that issued the document for verification, or to a provider of a Third Party Service for additonal security checks or data collection.
  2. Proof Information. In addition to the information referenced in Section 5(a) when you use the Proof Service, in order to provide proof of your identity to a third-party Customer, you will enable the transmission to authID of additional personal information about you, in order to provide you with the Service. Such information may include (but is not limited to) your first and last name, your address, your nationality or residence status, the nature and number of your identification document and any other data which may be collected from such identification document. In addition, the Proof Service will require you to provide a live picture and associated facial biometrics, for the purpose of matching such picture to the picture on the identification document. (All such information collected from the identification document and the live picture is collectively referred to as “Proof Information”). Once the transfer to the Customer has been completed, the Customer as data controller is responsible for that data and therefore the storage and use of the Proof Information will be governed by the Privacy Policy of the Customer to whom you authorized authID to transfer the Proof Information. You should check with the Customer what their Privacy Policy is with respect to the Proof Information.
  3. Consent to Use Proof Information. By using the Proof Service, you consent to the transfer to, and storage by authID of all such Proof Information and the use by authID of all Proof Information, for the purpose of providing the Proof Service. You further consent to the processing, and storage of such Proof Information by authID and transmission of the Proof Information to the Customer, which initiated the Proof Service request and, if applicable, to the government entity which issued the document from which the Proof Information is derived and to authID’s provider of Third Party Services for additional security checks or data collection. In addition authID may retain images of identity documents from Proof Transactions processed for Customer for the purposes of training authID’s Software models for improved accuracy. These identity document images will be encrypted and stored in a secure location only accessible to authorized authID employees. The enhanced precision resulting from improvements in our Software benefits all our customers in minimizing both false positives and false negatives. Neither the images, nor any data derived therefrom will be sold, or otherwise made available to any third party.
  4. Disclaimer. Use of the Proof Service does not guarantee that a User’s application to the Customer for the Third-Party Service will be accepted, or that the Customer will not require additional documentation, including proof of your identity.

7C. Third-Party Services

  1. authID makes available to its Customers certain Third-Party Services, including Services to which authID can connect in order to validate an ID document, or the data in the ID document by comparing it to a commercial data base (for example for US, Canadian or Mexican Driver’s licenses), or to the relevant government registry which issued the ID (for example for South Africa), or for checking sanctions compliance, or verifying other demographic data, or personal information regarding a User. A list of the providers of such Third Party Services currently used by authID is available .

You acknowledge that Third-Party Services are made available by authID by means of its Services but the content and delivery of those Third-Party Services are the responsibility of such third-party provider.

  3. Third-Party Materials. In addition to the information referenced in Section 5(a) and Proof Information, when you a Customer requires the use of a Third-Party Service, in order to provide additional verification of your identity to such Customer, or to comply with applicable “know your client” anti-money laundering, or sanctions regulations, when you authorize a Proof Transaction You will also authorize the transmission of data as follows:

Such information may include (but is not limited to) your first and last name, your address, date of birth, occupation and whether you are listed on certain governmental databases. authID does not store or process such Third-Party Materials once the transfer to the Customer has been completed and therefore the storage and use of the Third-Party Materials will be governed by the Privacy Policy of the Customer to whom You authorized authID to transfer the Third-Party Materials. You should check with the Customer what their Privacy Policy is with respect to the Third-Party Materials.

7D. FIDO2 Passkey Authentication
When you use our passwordless  FIDO2 Passkey authentication service, once your identity is verified, we set a FIDO2 compliant cryptographic key on your device, which is used in the future to automatically authenticate your device and tie it to your identity, so that we can confirm to the Customer that it is you who are accessing their service. In subsequent log-ins to our Customer’s services, or when asked to authenticate yourself before undertaking particular transactions with that Customer, authID may access the cryptographic key and ask you to take a selfie which we compare to your reference biometric that we maintain on file, in order to provide confirmation to the Customer, that you are duly authenticated for their purposes.

You should send this notice to authID Inc. 670 Long Beach Boulevard, Long Beach, NY 11561 United States of America, Attn: General Counsel or (b) by email from the email address associated with your Account to: legal@authID.com. authID will send any notice to you to the address or e-mail address we have on file associated with your authID account; it is your responsibility to keep your address up to date. All information called for in the notice must be provided including a description of the nature and basis of the claims the party is asserting and the relief sought. The Arbitrator will be either (1) a retired judge or (2) an attorney specifically licensed to practice law in the state of New York and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an Arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the Arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.
  6. Location and Procedure. Unless you and authID otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and authID submit to the Arbitrator, unless you request a hearing, or the Arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the Arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.
  7. Arbitrator’s Decision. The Arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. An Arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on all parties. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction to do so. The Arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. An Arbitrator’s decision and judgment thereon shall have no precedential or collateral estoppel effect. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. authID will not seek, and hereby waives all rights authID may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys’ fees and expenses if authID prevails in arbitration.
  8. Fees. Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. However, if your claim for damages does not exceed $10,000, authID will pay all such fees, unless the Arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose.
  9. Severability and Survival. If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (1) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from this License; (2) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement; and (3) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.

The following statements inform you of authID’s policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information (as defined below) authID receives from or relating to persons using or accessing the authID Software, Services and the Site (each such person “You” or “User”, whether or not capitalized).

When registering with us to use our Services you will be asked to provide an email address or telephone number and a photograph (if you are using a facial matching feature of the authID Software). In certain cases, we may also receive from the Customer which is providing their services to you, your photograph and other personal information which you have provided to such Customer, for authID to contact you and to provide the Services. (Collectively all of such personally identifiable information, other personal information and biometric information is referred to as “Personal Information”).

authID uses your Personal Information for providing the Services to our Customers, providing you with information about authID, its products and services and for providing, maintaining and improving the Site, the authID Software and the Services, including without limitation for data comparison and review to reduce data redundancy and fraud. authID may use your Personal Information to contact you with marketing or promotional materials.

AuthID Software & Services
authID uses your Personal Information to operate the AuthID Software and to provide the Services. To provide the Services we may receive and transmit certain Personal Information to the Customers with whom you have authorized us to work, when registering for any Service and using any authID Software. When you use AuthID Software, your phone number, your photograph (if you are using a facial matching feature of the authID Software) and certain unique identifiers for your device are sent to authID to allow authID and others to provide Services. When you approve (or decline) a transaction, which is presented to you by the AuthID Software, you are consenting to sending to authID biometric and other information for such purpose (depending on your authID account set-up) and consenting to authID sending a message to the Customer that is providing the relevant services, which will include information about you, which is necessary to authenticate your choice. When you use our passwordless authentication service, Human Factor Authentication, once your identity is verified we set a FIDO2 compliant cryptographic key on your device, which is used in the future to automatically authenticate your device and tie it to your identity, so that we can confirm to the Customer that it is you who are accessing their service.

Proof Information.
When you use the Proof Service, in order to provide proof of your identity to a third-party Customer, you will enable the transmission to authID of additional personal information about you, in order to provide you with the Service. Such information may include (but is not limited to) your first and last name, your address, your nationality or residence status and the nature and number of your identification document. In addition, the Proof Service will require you to provide a live picture and associated facial biometrics, for the purpose of matching such picture to the picture on the identification document. (All such information collected from the identification document and the live picture is collectively referred to as “Proof Information”). By using the Proof Service, you consent to the collection and processing of the Proof Information by authID and the transmission of the Proof Information to the third-party Customer that requested you to provide such Information and, where applicable, the provider of a Third-Party Service( as detailed below). Once the transfer to the Customer has been completed, the Customer as data controller is responsible for that data and therefore the storage and use of the Proof Information will be governed by the Privacy Policy of the Customer to whom you authorized authID to transfer the Proof Information. You should check with the Customer what their Privacy Policy is with respect to the Proof Information.

In addition authID may retain images of identity documents from Proof Transactions processed for Customer for the purposes of training authID’s Software models for improved accuracy.

The enhanced precision resulting from improvements in our Software benefits all our customers in minimizing both false positives and false negatives. Neither the images, nor any data derived therefrom will be sold, or otherwise made available to any third party.

Third-Party Materials.
In addition to the information referenced and Proof Information, when a Customer has contracted authID to use a Third-Party Service, in order to provide additional verification of your identity to that Customer, or to comply with applicable “know your client” anti-money laundering, or sanctions regulations, you will authorize the transmission of Personal Information as follows:
