We comply with the privacy and data protection laws of the United Kingdom Government, which are among the world's toughest. All your personal details are kept on our secure database.
We maintain your information in our database to swiftly verify your identity in case of any inquiries about your ID card. Additionally, these details grant you access to SimpleSavings deals and offers. In the unfortunate event of a lost or stolen card, having your information on file enables us to promptly issue a replacement card.
We provide Yoti, a digital identity company, 1Account, an online age verification company, and Arissian, via their Luciditi digital identity platform, with the ability to confirm electronically the validity of a cardholder through our secure API, provided that the cardholder has given Yoti, 1Account or Arissian their consent to do this check.
When using the Electronic ID Validation process, you have to agree to your data (photo ID document, liveness check and selfies) being assessed by Yoti Identity Verification for the purpose of document and identity validation. Yoti Identity Verification can submit the ID documents and selfies of suspected fraudsters to law enforcement bodies to help authorities in detection and prevention of fraud.
We provide retailers and other organisations with the ability to confirm that you are a legitimate cardholder at verify.citizencard.com or by using the PASS Card Verify app available on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, provided that you have given them your consent either by sharing your card details with them, allowing them to scan the QR code on the reverse of your card or permitting them to take a photo of the front of your card.
When you apply online, we use Google Cloud Vision API together with our own machine learning technology to make sure a photo you upload to support your online application complies with passport quality standards; Google does not use an anonymous photo it receives for any other purpose nor share it with third-parties and the photo is deleted right after the processing is done.
