Which personal data is collected depends on the Customer's integration, collection method and Services chosen

The precise personal data Entrust collects and processes on a Customer's behalf varies with three choices: how the Customer interacts with Entrust (for example API or Dashboard, Part 1 of the table), what data collection method the Customer uses (for example Applicant Form or SDK, Part 2), and which Services the Customer selects (Part 3). The table sets out data Entrust may collect and process; Customers are directed to the API Documentation and Guides for more detail.

Entrust collects User data directly through an Applicant Form or an SDK

Part 2 covers data Entrust collects directly from Users on the Customer's behalf. The Applicant Form lets a User enter data on an Entrust-provided form; it collects images and text-based data specified by the check or process, email address, the content of reminder emails, and a User identifier, and the Customer must already have given Entrust an email address so the form can be sent. The SDK provides drop-in user-interface screens for mobile (iOS and Android) and web applications to capture identity documents and facial photographs or video; its data includes images/video and describing information, IP address and city/country location, anonymized usage data, a User identifier and technical metadata. Telephone number and SMS content are collected only through the web SDK and are optional.
