Privacy of your BioID Account
You may wonder how the anonymity is ensured if you can see your photos in the template management in your BioID profile and we ask you or a valid email address.
Your BioID account is managed by BioID Connect, which is a separate application independent of the BioID Web Service. By default BWS does not save any raw biometric data, including any photos; only biometric templates (an irreversible mathematical representation of your unique features) are stored in BWS and remain anonymous. Applications that use BWS, such as BioID Connect, may choose to save raw biometric data as long as the user is informed of this storage.
In the case of BioID Connect the enrollment photos used in your biometric template are stored so that you can see how the technology works. Only you have access to these photos. Finally, even if someone did get access to them, your BioID account uses liveness detection to ensure that enrollment and verification images come from a live person, not a photo. So your enrollment photos would be useless.
We use your email address only to provide services such as password reset and multi-factor authentication to send you an one-time security code as an SMS text message. Your biometric template is stored with only your anonymous Biometric Class ID (BCID) and completely separate from your email or any other personal information.
