The privacy of your data – and it is your data, not ours! – is a big deal to us. We are committed to the protection of any personal information we obtain from you. This policy applies to all products and services provided by AnonyDoxx, LLC (“AnonyDoxx”). In this policy, we specify (i) what data we collect, use and share, and why we do so, (ii) how your data is handled, including with whom and under what circumstances we may share it and (iii) your rights with respect to your data and how to exercise those rights.
We promise we will never sell your data: never have, never will.

We may also obtain data from publicly-available sources and/or data suppliers from which we obtain data to validate or supplement the information we hold.
C. Data We Collect Automatically
When you browse our website/application(s), your browser or device automatically shares certain information such as your IP address, information about how you interact with our website/application(s), and which operating system and browser version you are using.

Certain data (e.g., your image and certain identification materials) will be securely stored by AnonyDoxx for the duration of your verification (AnonyDoxx Vault Verification expires after one year).
Your blockchain certificate is a unique, personal identifier. Your information will be stored in an immutable chain as part of a database called a distributed ledger, and may not later be changed or deleted.

C. Sharing Your Data
We may share your information with third parties as permitted or required by law, including:
A. Regulatory Matters
At AnonyDoxx, we apply the same data rights to all customers, regardless of their location. Currently, some of the most privacy-forward regulations in place are the European Union’s (“EU”) General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) in the United States (“U.S.”). AnonyDoxx recognizes all of the rights granted in these regulations, except as limited by applicable law.
These rights include:
Please note, you have the right at any time to withdraw a previously-provided consent. We will promptly honor such requests; however, withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any authorized processing which precedes the withdrawal of your consent.

AnonyDoxx collects and processes Biometric Data, including facial scans, to provide its services, as outlined in Section II.A (Vault Verification), above. AnonyDoxx collects such information based on the written consent of its users, and we will share such data with our service provider(s) solely to provide requested services.
Like all data we collect, we will never sell Biometric Data.
A. Biometric Data Defined
We base our practices with respect to biometrics on what we assess to be the most stringent requirements for biometric privacy, which are laid out in the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act, 740 ILCS § 14/1, et seq. (“BIPA”). As used in this policy, the term Biometric Data means “biometric data”, “biometric identifiers,” and “biometric information” as defined in BIPA:
For clarity, Biometric Data also includes any similar state or local law definitions related to any biological characteristic of a person, or information based upon such a characteristic, including but not limited to, “biometric identifier” as defined under the Texas Biometric Privacy Law, Tex. Bus. & Com Code § 503.001, “biometric information” as defined in the Washington Biometric Privacy Law, Wash. Rev. Code Ann. § 19.375.020, “biometric information” as used in the CCPA, and “biometric information” as used in the New York Stop Hacks and Improve Electronic Data and Security Act (NY SHIELD Act), N.Y. Gen Bus. Law § 899-bb.
B. Purpose for Collection of Biometric Data
Our Vault Verification creates Biometric Data (face scans) for the purpose of identifying you and issuing a certification via blockchain. Our facial recognition technology compares your “selfie”, government-issued identification, and self-recorded, video attestation. This process is reviewed by AnonyDoxx staff prior to issuing the blockchain Vault Verification. (The process is detailed above at “Vault Verification” (Section II.A).)
C. Authorization
Prior to receiving Biometric Data, we must:
D. Disclosure

F. Data Storage
AnonyDoxx will use, and will ensure its vendor(s) use, a reasonable standard of care to store, transmit and protect from disclosure any Biometric Data it collects or is collected on its behalf. Such storage, transmission and protection from disclosure will be performed in a manner that is the same as, or more protective than, the manner in which AnonyDoxx stores, transmits and protects from disclosure other confidential and sensitive information, including personal information.
