EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) reinforces the data subject’s rights regarding their personal data and pursues to merge individual data protection laws across Europe.
GDPR enforces stringent requirements on the companies that are managing personally identifiable information (PII), including images of government-issued IDs, biometric information and other sensitive information. Due to the significant connection of identity verification and GDPR principles, it is vital for our clients to understand what to look for entering an identity space. These requirements relate to principles such as lawfulness, fairness and transparency, accuracy, purpose limitation, data minimization, storage limitation, integrity and confidentiality. They are also related to fulfilment of data subjects’ rights on their personal data.
Our clients must additionally ensure that the service providers they select to process personal data on their behalf warrant their capability to implement suitable procedures so that the processing meets the GDPR requirements.
