Does Q5id store personal and biometric data?
Data, such as name, address, email, and phone number are encrypted and saved. Unless required, biometrics are not stored. Biometrics are converted into a character string using a hashing algorithm that cannot be reverse-engineered.
Images may be stored when required by law or regulations specific to a given business. Any images we do store are secured in a data vault.
Why does Q5id require multiple biometrics to prove identity?
Q5id prides itself on being the most comprehensive identity proofing and authentication solution available. Proving your identity with Q5id involves multiple biometric measurements. Using multiple biometrics ensures it is nearly impossible for someone to hack. Our solution can detect deepfake spoofing, use of synthetics, fake ID’s, and even the use of general ID theft. This provides consumers and businesses with industry leading protection against identity theft and fraud.
A facial scan is used to verify you against your government-issued ID, while palm scans are used for future verification. Liveness is confirmed through a quick recording of voice biometrics while simultaneously capturing a short video, or in some cases, through a quick video call with a live agent.
Q5id uses a combination of biometric measurements to ensure that the user proving their identity matches the provided government-issued ID. Once your identity has been proven, the biometric measurements are used to ensure that the person trying to authenticate is truly who they claim to be.

No.
Information gathered during the onboarding process, such as biometrics, personal data, and documentation are never sold or shared.
