What does Incode do?
Incode is headquartered in the United States, but with offices and group companies located around the world. Incode provides Incode Omni, an end-to-end identity platform that offers a frictionless customer experience at every point of contact with a consistent level of security across multiple channels (“Incode Omni Service”). The Incode Omni Service is deployed on third-party websites or mobile applications that belong to our customers (“Customers”) and allows our Customers to securely verify the identity of their customers or users (“User” or “Users”).

What does this Privacy Notice cover?

In such case, we act as a data controller of your personal data.
Please note that we also act as a processor when providing identity verification services to our Customers.

If you ever communicate directly with us, we will maintain a record of those communications and responses.
Where we process personal data as required as part of our provision of the Services to our Customers (i.e. where we act as a data processor), it is primarily our Customers (the ‘data controllers’) who control what personal data we process and how we use it. Accordingly, you should contact the relevant Customer directly for more information, or otherwise review their or (where applicable) their organization’s privacy notices.
B. User Information
If you are a User of the Incode Omni Service, you will be able to voluntarily provide your personal data, including biometric information, primarily to verify your identity, authenticate your information, and prevent fraud when you use our Customers’ websites or mobile applications. We collect your information through the photographic function in the applicable hardware, in each case when you initiate the capturing of a photograph, and/or when and if you manually include it.
In most cases, we process your personal data, including your biometric information, on behalf of our Customers and as noted above in order to provide our identity verification solution. As mentioned above, this Privacy Notice does not apply to the personal data that we process as data processors on behalf of our Customers in the course of providing our Services (other than to the extent specified otherwise as per local legal requirements set out herein). However, in some instances, we may use your personal data, including your biometric information, for our own purposes (such as to improve our products and services) when you have provided your consent for us to do so (which you can withdraw at any time) or, where permitted under applicable law, on the basis of our legitimate interests.
This chart reflects the categories of Users’ personal data that we may process both on our Customers’ behalf (as a processor) as well as for our own purposes to develop and improve our Services (for which we will be a data controller) and the categories of third parties with whom we may share such data.

- Contractual Necessity:We process your personal data as a matter of “contractual necessity”, meaning that we need to process the data to perform a contract with you, such as to provide you with the Services through our Customers application and/or website. When we process data due to contractual necessity, failure to provide such personal data will result in your inability to use some or all portions of the Services that require such data.

Additional information for Australian residents
If you reside in Australia or are using our services or interacting with Incode in Australia, the following applies to you. This section supplements, supersedes and extends the scope of this Privacy Notice generally. The remaining sections of this Privacy Notice, other than those sections which are expressly limited to foreign jurisdictions outside of Australia or are inconsistent with the specifics of this section, also apply to you and you should consider this Privacy Notice in full for full details of how we manage your personal information (“personal data”), including the kinds of personal data we collect, how we collect your personal data and the purposes for which your personal data is collected, held, used and disclosed.
Are we a Data Controller or Data Processor?
Some privacy regimes that we are subject to distinguish how we may collect, use and disclose your personal data depending on whether we are classified as a ‘data processor’ or ‘data controller’. Under these regimes, we act as a processor when providing identity verification services to our Customers. The ‘data processor’ and ‘data controller’ distinction is not relevant to you to the extent Australian privacy law applies and we have obligations to you with respect the personal information we hold about you, even when acting as a ‘data processor’. The ‘data processor’ section below explains how we collect and process personal data as data processors on behalf of our Customers in the course of providing our Services. However, these practices are dependent on, and connected with, the data collection and use practices of our Customers.
Information we collect as a Data Processor
In certain instances where you use the Incode Omni Service, we are acting as a data processor on behalf of our Customers for the purposes of certain applicable privacy laws. In these circumstances, there is no difference in the manner of how we collect your personal data, the type of personal data collected or the third parties to whom we may disclose personal data collected to. Accordingly, the information in the table at Section B of the “Information You Provide Voluntarily” section above, applies equally to data that we collect as data processors. You should refer to that section for information regarding what personal data we collect and how we collect and disclose personal data when acting as data processors on behalf of our Customers.
The purpose for which we collect your personal data when using the Incode Omni Service remains to verify your identity, authenticate your information and prevent fraud when you use our Customers’ websites or mobile applications. When we act as data processors, exactly how and to what extent the Incode Omni Service is applied or operated may be subject to our Customer’s instructions or control. When acting as a data processor, the personal data that you input into the Incode Omni Service may also be collected by, or held at the direction of, our Customers. Our Customers will use and disclose such personal data in accordance with their own privacy practices and obligations and in accordance with applicable law. We invite you to contact or refer to the relevant Customer if you need any further information regarding the privacy practices of our Customers.
While your use of the Incode Omni Service is always voluntary and subject to your consent, we note that our Customers may be required by law to verify your identity to certain prescribed standards prior to offering services to you. For further information regarding your personal data in those cases beyond the details herein included regarding Incode’s activity, we invite you to contact the relevant company or organization if you have any questions about their privacy practices.
