Data Access & Collection · Context
The data collected depends on how the Customer uses the service
The precise personal data Entrust collects on a Customer's behalf varies with three choices: how the Customer interacts with Entrust (for example the API or the Onfido Dashboard, Part 1 of the table); the data collection method (for example the Applicant Form or SDK, Part 2); and which Onfido Identity Services the Customer uses (Part 3). The notice then sets out the personal data Entrust may process to provide the services, so the table is a catalogue of possibilities rather than one fixed dataset for every check.

Supporting quotations
The precise personal data Entrust collects on behalf of a Customer varies depending on:
how a Customer chooses to interact with Entrust (for example, via our API or the Onfido Dashboard as set out in Part 1 of the table below);
what data collection method the Customer chooses to use (for example, our Applicant Form or SDK as set out in Part 2 of the table below); and
which Onfido Identity Services the Customer chooses to use (as set out in Part 3 of the table below).
The table below sets out the personal data Entrust may process in order to provide the Onfido Identity Services.

Part 1 covers API and Dashboard data, including staff login details
Part 1 of the table covers a Customer that initiates a check or process and interacts directly with Entrust; its columns are the personal data type and the Customer interaction method. Through the API, the categories can include the Onfido User unique identifier; check status/outcome and related information such as a Report; optional data fields the Customer selects from those the API supports (for example a title); technical metadata described in the API Documentation; IP address with city/country location; data uploaded through the “custom input” or “send/receive” workflow features; and other information relevant to the applicable services. The API uses REST principles and standard HTTP response codes. For the Onfido Dashboard, Entrust also collects the full name, login credentials and usage logs of Customer personnel who access it; the Dashboard is described as a graphical interface to the API.

Retention & Deletion · Company practice
Retention follows Customer need, capped by law and stated maximums
Entrust provides the services on behalf of Customers for reasons the Customer identifies, and it relies on the Customer to tell it when the personal information is no longer needed, subject to maximum retention periods imposed by applicable laws or defined by Data Providers or by Entrust. The notice's example is the Onfido Facial Scan and Voice Recording Policy, which it says sets a maximum of three years after submission for photos/videos including audio recordings. Entrust may store personal information longer where it has a legitimate legal reason, for example a binding legal order not to destroy it.
Details
Condition
Customer's stated need plus maximum retention periods from law, Data Providers or Entrust
When
example: three years after submission for photos/videos
Exception
legitimate legal reason, such as a binding legal order not to destroy information
Supporting quotations
Entrust provides the Onfido Identity Services on behalf of its Customers for a variety of different reasons. Those reasons are identified by the Customer and Entrust relies on them to tell Entrust when they no longer need to store the personal information Entrust has collected on their behalf, subject to maximum retention periods imposed by applicable laws or defined by Data Providers or by Entrust.
(For example, the Onfido Facial Scan and Voice Recording Policy explains that the maximum period of time for which Entrust will retain photos/videos (including audio recordings) is three (3) years following submission of the photos/videos.
Where Entrust has a legitimate legal reason, it may store personal information for longer than described above (e.g., where it is under a binding legal order not to destroy information).
Qualifications & exceptions
The Customer decides when it no longer needs the data.
Caps can come from applicable law, Data Providers or Entrust.
Longer storage is allowed for a legitimate legal reason such as a binding legal order.
Not stated here
The Facial Scan and Voice Recording Policy is referred to but not supplied, so its full scope and exact wording are unknown here.
The notice does not list maximum periods for the other services.
Cross-references
qualifies (model-proposed): Facial Similarity–Video adds liveness and may capture a voiceprint — The retention section's only stated maximum is the three-year example for photos/videos including audio recordings, which qualifies how long the facial video and audio capture described in this card may be kept.
Sharing & Disclosure · Company practice

Cross-border transfers rely on adequacy or standard contractual clauses
Sharing personal data with a sub-processor may involve a cross-border transfer. Entrust says it makes cross-border transfers in accordance with relevant data privacy law requirements. Its example: for personal data transferred outside the EEA, it ensures an adequate level of protection by requiring sub-processors to enter into the European Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses (and/or their UK and Switzerland equivalents) if they are not in a country with an adequacy decision and there is no alternative transfer safeguard.

Entrust will need to share personal data relating to the Customer’s Users with third party service providers (“sub-processors”) in connection with the provision of the Onfido Identity Services to Customers.
The sharing of personal data with a sub-processor may involve the cross-border transfer of personal data. Entrust makes cross-border transfers of personal data in accordance with relevant data privacy law requirements. For example, we ensure that personal data that is transferred outside of the EEA benefits from an adequate level of protection by requiring sub-processors to enter into the European Commission approved Standard Contractual Clauses (and/or their UK and Switzerland equivalents) if they are not in a country that has the benefit of an adequacy decision and if there is no alternative transfer safeguard.
Qualifications & exceptions
The stated safeguard is an example for transfers outside the EEA.
The clauses are required only where there is no adequacy decision and no alternative safeguard.
Not stated here
The notice does not identify the destination countries, the sub-processors or which safeguard applies to a particular transfer.
Cross-references
referred to by (model-proposed): Sub-processors receive User data; the current list is on Entrust's site — The sub-processor sharing rule is the premise for the transfer section: sharing with a sub-processor may involve a cross-border transfer, which the transfers section then qualifies.
