When you use the Services or a Third-Party Service, we may collect information about you, either directly from you or from the entity that operates the Third-Party Service. Personal information we collect may include:

This feature, supported by a trusted vendor, creates a facial scan of each image and compares your physical characteristics, such as eye color and other facial features, to confirm your identity. The service also examines information shown on your government-issued identification card to assess authenticity, including checking this information against machine-encoded data and data maintained by the authority that issued the identification. We maintain this information to facilitate your enrollment and other features of our Services that require identity verification.
