-We use a trusted third-party application called [Iris ID](https://passportreader.app/) by Iris Development AB to read your passport if you choose to complete Strong Verification. The app processes your data and verifies it before passing it back to our server. As per their [Privacy policy](https://passportreader.app/privacy), they will delete your personal information within 24 hours.

-When you complete Strong Verification, the data retrieved from your passport is encrypted with an asymmetric keypair in such a way that the server can no longer access it. There is a mechanism for this data to be decrypted and retrieved manually, but the key is stored separately and requires human intervention to use. The following information is additionally stored on the server for continued verification purposes: names, country/nationality, sex, date of birth, passport expiry date, and the last three digits of the passport number.

-The minimal anti-abuse data of passport country, passport expiry date, and the last three digits of the passport number is stored for all successful verifications and cannot be removed. This data is used for safety and moderation purposes in order to avoid banned users from recreating accounts. We believe this is an appropriate compromise between providing a safe platform for our users, while not storing sensitive personal information beyond what you wish to share with the platform and other users.
