Devcode Identity API

Devcode Identity Platform consists of our API for verifying identities and our backoffice IdentityIQ. This policy concerns our API.

When using our API, Devcode acts as a data processor on behalf of our customer (company). End users are managed by the merchant company that acts as a data controller. Devcode does not store any user data permanently. GDPR related information is kept during the identity session and then deleted according to the instructions from the data controller.

Necessary logs/audit for an identity session will be kept according to retention policy to be able to resolve issues that can come up after the Identity Verification request is completed.

Purpose and processing

The controllers and responsible entities for such content are Devcode's respective customers. As the data processor, Devcode signs a data processor agreement with the client as data controller. The data processor agreement establishes the frameworks for Devcode's personal data processing activities. The specific security measures and deletion deadline for processing will be established in each individual data processor agreement.

The purpose of identity transactions is to perform Know Your Customer and perform Customer Due Diligence on behalf of Devcode's customers. This is done by Identifying natural or legal persons using available digital ID methods or digital identity document verification methods, visual recognition and liveness detection and relevant registries to verify address or check if the subject is listed as a Politically Exposed Person or on sanctions lists.

The collected information will be obtained by the Devcode customer, and will be deleted from Devcode's systems as defined by the controller. The controller can delete the collected information in Devcode's systems at own discretion at any point.
