Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2025

Overview

Universal Identity Protocol (UIP) is built on privacy-first principles. This policy explains how we handle your data when you use our identity services.

Biometric Data

Your biometric data (fingerprint, face recognition) never leaves your device. We use cryptographic techniques to verify your identity without accessing your raw biometric information.

  • Biometric templates are stored locally on your device
  • We only receive cryptographic proofs of successful authentication
  • No biometric data is transmitted to our servers

Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to provide our services:

  • Name, date of birth, and country (for identity verification)
  • Government ID verification status
  • API usage metrics and audit logs
  • Technical information (IP addresses, device types)

How We Use Your Information

  • To verify your identity for high-trust transactions
  • To provide audit trails and compliance documentation
  • To improve our services and prevent fraud
  • To comply with legal requirements

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited data only when:

  • Required by law or legal process
  • With your explicit consent
  • With trusted service providers (like Veriff for ID verification)

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access your personal information
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Delete your UIP account and associated data
  • Export your data in a portable format
