Status Match uses a third-party global identity and fraud verification vendor, Ekata. For the purpose of fraud detection, we use the information you give us (including your name, address, email address, phone number), in order to match the information with information Ekata has collected from other sources and stored in its database. To facilitate verification of future transactions through Status Match or other vendors, Ekata may update its database to reflect that the information you provided to Status Match and we shared with Ekata matched information in its database. Ekata may also update its database to include new information you provided to Status Match and we shared with Ekata, which was not previously found in Ekata’s database. You can review Ekata’s privacy policy or for fulfilling requests for EU citizens, please see their Ekata Privacy Policy.
Status Match uses a fully automated eKYC identity verification platform, authenteq for the purpose of identification. The process of identification with authenteq involves a process which includes a “selfie check”. After completion of the process, authenteq transmits to us your identification data including a copy of the identification document used as part of the check. This data is saved in our secure servers based in the United States. These are processed exclusively for the purpose of fulfilling legal and regulatory obligations. For the purpose of continuing verification, such as in the event that KYC identity verification platform is changed, this data is kept. If you are an EU citizen, please see Status Match contact persons below for our contact information in regards to your rights (see “Your consent and rights” section).
