Privacy Policy
The short version: Enclave Verify collects the minimum data needed to issue and present identity credentials. Raw ID documents are processed on-device and deleted immediately. We do not sell your data. Businesses receive only the signed claims you consent to share.
01
Overview
Enclave Technologies LLC ("Enclave," "we," "us," or "our") operates Enclave Verify — identity verification infrastructure available at verify.enclave.talk and through our API, dashboard, and related services (the "Service").
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and your rights regarding it. Enclave Verify is built on a zero-knowledge verification model: users control their documents, Enclave issues cryptographic certificates, and businesses receive only consent-scoped signed claims.
By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
02
Who This Policy Covers
This policy applies to individuals who create an Enclave Verify account, complete identity verification, and hold verification certificates; and to businesses and developers who integrate Enclave Verify through our API or dashboard.
If you are an end user verifying identity at the request of a business customer, that business may also process information about you under its own privacy policy. Enclave Verify facilitates verification on the user's device and delivers signed credentials to the requesting business only with the user's consent.
03
Information We Collect
Account and profile information
- Email address and authentication identifiers (via Enclave Account)
- Account type (individual or business)
- For business accounts: business name, website, and intended use submitted during onboarding
Verification and certificate data
- Verification session metadata (timestamps, status, requested claims)
- Cryptographic certificate identifiers and signed claim results (for example, age_18_plus or identity_verified)
- Consent records showing what was requested and what the user approved
- Presentation logs when a certificate is shared with a business integration
Business integration data
- API keys and integration configuration
- User identifiers you provide when creating verification requests (such as an email or internal user ID)
- Webhook URLs and signed webhook delivery metadata
Billing information
We use Stripe to process usage-based billing. We store Stripe customer and payment method reference IDs. Full payment card details are held by Stripe and governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy. We do not store your card number.
Technical information
- IP address and request logs for security, abuse prevention, and infrastructure operations
- Device and browser information necessary to operate the verification flow
04
What We Do Not Retain
We do not retain raw government ID images or full document payloads after verification processing is complete. Document capture occurs on the user's device; Enclave issues a certificate from the verification result and does not maintain long-term document storage.
We also do not:
- Sell personal information to data brokers or advertisers
- Use verification data for behavioral advertising or cross-platform tracking
- Collect contact lists, GPS location, or browsing history outside the Service
- Require businesses to receive more claims than they request
05
How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Create and manage Enclave Verify accounts
- Process identity verification and issue cryptographic certificates
- Deliver consent-scoped credentials to authorized business integrations
- Operate our API, webhooks, dashboard, and billing
- Prevent fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access
- Respond to support requests and legal obligations
- Improve the reliability and security of the Service
07
Verification Architecture
Zero-knowledge by design. Users capture identity documents on their device. Enclave validates the verification and issues a cryptographic certificate. Businesses receive signed claims — not raw document images — only after explicit user consent.
- Raw document data is not retained after verification processing
- Certificates can be revoked by the user at any time
- Each presentation is consent-scoped and logged
- Business integrations verify signatures cryptographically via our API
08
Data Retention
We retain account, certificate, and billing records for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. Raw document images are not retained after verification processing.
If you delete your account or request erasure:
- Profile and account data is deleted in accordance with our account erasure process
- Active certificates are revoked
- Security and billing logs may be retained for a limited period where required by law or for fraud prevention
- Stripe retains payment records under its own policies and legal obligations
09
Children's Privacy
Enclave Verify supports age-gating and consent-scoped verification workflows, including use cases governed by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). The Service is not directed to children under 13 to create standalone accounts without appropriate parental involvement.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 outside of verification flows initiated by a business with appropriate consent mechanisms. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13 in violation of this policy, contact us at privacy@enclave.talk.
