This example describes sharing the status, not a promise to send the underlying ID or face scan.

Partners may receive aggregated reports that do not identify people
KWS sometimes combines information from different people and removes identifying material so individuals can no longer be identified. It may share this aggregated data with Partners to provide or improve its services, such as a count of people who verified their age for a Partner. KWS says Partners cannot identify you or anyone else from these aggregated data.

A note about aggregated data. Sometimes we combine information from different people so that we can no longer tell who any individual person is anymore. We may share aggregated data with our Partners to help us provide or improve our services. For example, we might work out how many people verified their age for a Partner using KWS and share that aggregated data with the Partner. Because we take out anything that could identify you, this means our Partners cannot use this aggregated data to identify you or anyone else.
Qualifications & exceptions
Aggregated reporting is for providing or improving services.
KWS describes removing anything that could identify a person.
