What happens to personal data submitted for identity verification?

With an eID-Me ID secured in a digital wallet, your client will always know who is asking for their information. This helps them stay informed during transactions. We do not release any information unless your client approves the release.

If your client agrees to share information, it will be sent to the third party through the eID-Me identity service. The eID-Me app keeps a secure record of the transaction on your client’s smartphone for your client’s convenience. This record can be deleted or turned off whenever needed. The information your client releases to these third parties will be governed by their privacy policies and terms.

How will I be billed?
