We use an AI algorithm to measure certain features of your face in both your ID photo and your selfie, and compare them to one another to confirm the person completing background screening matches the person on the ID.

Unless required by law, once your identity has been verified, we will delete your biometric data from our systems within 30 days.<\/p>\n      <p>The location of Biometric Data storage is based on the location of our client. For example, if our client on whose behalf we are performing a background check is located in Canada, your Biometric Data will be stored in Canada. If you reside in a different country from our processing locations or the location of our client, we may transfer your Biometric Data for the purpose of completing the identity verification, in accordance with our Privacy Policy (<a href=\"https:\/\/certn.co\/anz\/privacy-policy\/\">https:\/\/certn.co\/privacy-policy\/<\/a>) and applicable privacy laws.<\/p>\n\n      <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"your-rights\">What are my rights?<\/h3>\n      <p>You may choose not to consent to the processing of your Biometric Data.
