I.  General Terms

This Consent to the Processing of Biometric Data and Automated Decision-Making during Digital Identification via aIDentix applies to “aIDentix” ltd. a Bulgarian company registered in the Commercial Register at the Registry Agency under UIC 204788710, with mailing address: 5A Baku str, floor 6, 1700 Sofia, Bulgaria, email: office@aidentix.com (“aIDentix”, “Service Provider”, “we,” “us,” or “our”).

As part of the digital identity verification process, aIDentix requires your explicit consent to collect, process, and use your biometric data. This data includes facial recognition information obtained from a selfie or video and the image of your identification document. In addition, aIDentix may use automated decision-making as part of this process to determine whether the digital identification is successful.

This consent form explains how aIDentix will process your biometric data and how automated decision-making will be used. It also outlines your rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

By proceeding with the digital identification process, you are providing your explicit consent to the processing of your biometric data and the use of automated decision-making as described below.

II.  What Biometric Data Do We Collect?

We will collect and process the following types of biometric data during the digital identification process:

• • A facial scan from a selfie photo or video you provide.
  • A facial image from your government-issued identification document (e.g., passport or ID card).
  • Data related to the geometry of your face, which will be compared between the selfie/video and the identification document to verify your identity.

III.  Purpose of Processing Biometric Data

We process your biometric data for the following purposes:

• • Identity Verification: To confirm that the individual submitting the selfie or video is the same as the individual in the identification document.
  • Liveness Detection: To ensure that you are physically present and to prevent fraud by verifying that the selfie or video was captured in real-time.
  • Fraud Prevention: To detect and prevent identity fraud by comparing your biometric data to ensure consistency between the selfie/video and the identification document.

Your biometric data is necessary for the accurate and secure completion of the identity verification process. Without this data, aIDentix cannot complete the verification.

IV.  Automated Decision-Making

As part of the digital identification process, aIDentix uses automated decision-making technology to assess the validity of your identification document and biometric data. This means that the decision about whether your digital identification is successful may be made automatically, without human intervention.

The automated decision-making system evaluates the following:

• • Whether the biometric data from your selfie or video matches the biometric data from your identification document.
  • Whether the liveness detection process confirms your physical presence.

This automated decision will determine if the digital identification is approved, rejected, or requires further review.

V.  Legal Basis for Processing Biometric Data

Under Article 9 of the GDPR, biometric data is classified as a special category of personal data. aIDentix processes your biometric data based on your explicit consent. By proceeding with the digital identification process, you are voluntarily agreeing to the collection, processing, and use of your biometric data for the purposes outlined above.

VI.  Retention of Biometric Data

Your biometric data will be retained only for the time necessary to complete the identity verification process. Once the process is complete, your biometric data will be securely deleted unless aIDentix is required to retain it by law.

• • If the verification is successful, biometric data will be deleted immediately after the Corporate Client receives the verification result.
  • If the verification is unsuccessful or cancelled, biometric data will be deleted immediately after the conclusion of the process.

VII.  Your Rights under the GDPR

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal and biometric data:

• • Right to Withdraw Consent: You have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of biometric data at any time. However, please note that withdrawal of consent may prevent the completion of the identity verification process.
