Checkpoint ID may use a combination of machine-learning tools and optical scans to verify your identity document and may use [facial recognition technology to produce a unique biometric identifier based on facial geometry that can be used to compare your selfie to the image on the identity document you provide to determine the likelihood that the images are a “match.” We do not receive the biometric identifier generated from the images. It is generated and held by Checkpoint ID, or any other provider we work with for verification purposes until we inform them that the biometric identifier is no longer needed for the purposes described in this paragraph and must be destroyed. For identity verification and security purposes, we will have access to the selfie image and will receive the results of the verification process. We may use this process and associated information to verify your identity and your identity documents, comply with legal obligations and protect against fraud and abuse. We do not use, disclose, or retain your biometric information for any other commercial purpose. Our third-party providers, including Checkpoint ID, process this information on our behalf strictly in accordance with our contractual agreements.

We may share a unique identifier, such as a user ID or hashed email address, with these platform providers or they may collect information from our Site visitors through a first-party pixel, in order to direct targeted advertising to you or to a custom audience on the social media platform. These advertisements are governed by the privacy policies of those social media companies that provide them.
