Step 3: Result & Deletion

Results returned in real time. All biometric data is instantly and permanently deleted.

Native Emblem Integration

Built-in support for Emblem, the privacy infrastructure powering regulator-approved tokenized verification.

Privacy focused, zero PII tokenization
Re-authentication across participating sites
Easy to use, no extra setup needed
No PII storage, completely privacy-focused

Privacy-First Architecture

Built from the ground up to protect user privacy. No biometric databases, no compliance risk, and no exposure to breach.

Ephemeral Containers

Each request runs in a fresh container that is destroyed instantly. No persistence, no cross-session leakage.

Memory-Only Processing

All biometric data stays in volatile memory and is never written to disk, preventing unauthorized access.

Cryptographic Deletion

Temporary data is encrypted at rest and cryptographically destroyed after use, with zero residue left.

Isolated Compute Nodes

Sandboxed compute flows ensure complete isolation between verification sessions and customer apps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here’s what most teams ask before getting started

We start with L1 (face-based estimation) and escalate to L2 (document-based) only when necessary. This reduces friction and avoids unnecessary data processing.

Yes. You can set rules for when to trigger L2, adjust challenge ages, or apply country-specific verification logic.

Liveness detection, selfie/document cross-checks, and multiple fraud signal checks are standard.

Our L2 flow runs OCR, checks format/security features, and compares document images to the selfie — all in-session, no data stored.

No. All data is processed ephemerally. Nothing — not photos, not ID data — is stored after verification completes.

Absolutely. Use our sandbox tier for free, which includes 100 test verifications with full webhook support and test data. After that, you can use the 500 free verifications included in our Free plan.
