Jumio Online Services Privacy Notice

Last Updated: August 4, 2026

Greetings from Jumio Corporation!

This Privacy Notice (“Notice”) describes the privacy practices of Jumio Corporation (“Jumio,” “us,” or “we”) concerning personal information collected in connection with Jumio’s provision of verification, authentication, and related online services (the “Services”).

This Notice provides information about the personal information collected through the Services. The scope of your consent is described in Section 12 (“Your consent”).

Our Website Privacy Notice describes our privacy practices in connection with our website and Customer portals. For individuals protected by the Washington State My Health, My Data Act, please see our Washington State Consumer Health Privacy Notice.

Important note: Jumio makes the Services available to our Customers (as defined below) for integration into their websites and mobile applications. For certain Customers (including some in the EEA/UK), Jumio serves as a “processor” (or “service provider”). Please begin with the Customer with which you have an existing relationship for information about your privacy rights.

1. Who is Jumio?

Jumio is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California and has offices and Customers around the world. We help third-party businesses (“Customers”) prevent fraud, verify the identity of their users (“you” or “End Users”), and protect the integrity of End User accounts. Jumio uses information about you to provide and improve these Services or develop new services for similar purposes. We analyze the collected data and pass along risk signals to our Customers to warn them about potential risks associated with their End User transactions and accounts.

Please note: we do not sell, share, or otherwise use your personal information for cross-contextual behavioral advertising.

2. What is our relationship with you?

Data protection and privacy laws in certain jurisdictions differentiate between “controllers” (or “businesses”) and “processors” (or “service providers”).

  • Controller/business: decides why and how to process personal information.
  • Processor/service provider: processes personal information on behalf of a Controller/Business pursuant to provided instructions.

This Notice generally describes Jumio’s privacy practices as a Controller. While providing your personal information is voluntary, we may not be able to provide our Services to our Customers without it.

3. What Services does Jumio provide?

Jumio provides an integrated identity verification, authentication, and fraud prevention Service to its Customers. This Service enables our Customers to verify their End Users’ identities by processing personal information (see Section 5) to assess the authenticity of identity information and detect potentially fraudulent activity.

As part of this Service, we collect, analyze, and retain personal information collected in connection with transactions on an ad–hoc and an ongoing basis provided by or on behalf of our Customers and their End Users, including information contained in government-issued identification documents and facial images. These processing activities may be performed in an automated manner and include comparing personal information with data previously processed as part of the Service and matching an image of your face with the image contained on your identification document in order to verify identity and identify patterns indicative of fraud.

Jumio is committed to constantly improving its service in order to help its Customers manage evolving fraud risks. Therefore, the Service entails incremental improvement of the service making use of new technological innovations as they become practical to implement.

As part of its service to our Customers, Jumio shares the results of these analyses, as well as relevant personal information (such as identification document data and facial images), with our Customer with whom you have engaged or intend to engage, as well as with Jumio’s service providers acting on its behalf.

4. How does Jumio receive my personal information?

Jumio may obtain your personal information from the following sources:

  • Directly from you or our Customers, such as when you use, access, or submit information in connection with the Services.
  • Our third-party service providers and partners, such as when our vendors provide us personal information related to you to provide us their services. As permitted by applicable law, we may combine this information with information we have about you. Our third-party service providers and partners include consumer reporting agencies, fraud prevention services, data brokers, government databases, marketing and analytics providers, and other publicly available sources.
  • Automatically, such as technical information necessary to provide, improve, and develop our Services.

If you use Jumio’s Authentication service, we may install service workers on your device to speed up subsequent verifications. These do not collect any information about you and do not track you. We may also use cookies in connection with the Services, which you can learn about by visiting our Cookie Notice.

5. What personal information does Jumio process?

For the purposes described in Section 6, Jumio may process the following information:

  • Personal identifiers, such as names, addresses, emails, phone numbers;

Biometric Data

Jumio’s collection of personal information may include data that may be considered biometric data in some jurisdictions.

10. How does Jumio keep my personal information secure?

We use commercially reasonable safeguards designed to protect your personal information against loss or unauthorized access, use, modification, or deletion. However, no security program is foolproof, and thus we cannot guarantee absolute security. For more details, please visit our Security page.

11. What are my privacy rights and choices with Jumio?

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Access or obtain a copy of your personal information.
  • Delete your personal information.
  • Correct inaccurate personal information.
  • Object to or restrict processing of your personal information.
  • Withdraw your consent (see Section 12 below).
  • Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority or regulatory agency.

To exercise these rights, please email [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity first, and if we deny a request, you may have the right to appeal by sending an email to the same address. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of the above rights.

Where we process your personal information based on your consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

12. Your consent

When you provide your consent to us, you are consenting to Jumio obtaining and using your personal information (see Section 5) to enable our provision of the Services to our Customers (see Section 3), which may include the processing of special categories of personal information (e.g. biometric data) and is partly based on machine learning and facial recognition algorithms.

You may withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on your consent before its withdrawal. If Jumio has collected your personal information on the basis of your consent and you then withdraw your consent, Jumio may retain your personal information independent of your consent as permitted by applicable law and to the extent necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, to comply with legal obligations, or to identify potentially fraudulent transactions.

13. Additional information for Brazilian residents

In certain circumstances, to properly verify End Users’ identification and for fraud prevention purposes, Jumio may process and share the following information with Idwall, a third-party service provider for fraud prevention acting as an independent data controller as defined by applicable law:

  • Personal identifiers (e.g., names, addresses, emails, phone numbers);
  • Government identifiers (e.g., individual taxpayers’ registry (CPF)) please note that Jumio redacts certain government identifiers in accordance with applicable national laws; and

Jumio’s Data Protection Officer and Person in Charge (“Encarregado”), Joe Kaufmann, may be contacted at [email protected].

14. Other important information

Children’s privacy

Jumio’s Services are not directed to children under the age of 13, and Jumio will never knowingly collect information from anyone it knows is under the age of 13. We recommend that persons over 13, but under 18 years of age, ask their parents for permission before engaging with the Services or sending any information about themselves to anyone over the Internet.

Data quality and automated decision making

To help safeguard the quality of the data provided by the Services, Jumio implements measures such as machine learning capabilities or manual review by specially trained verification agents. When we process the personal information automatically, we apply the following examples of criteria:

  • Checks on the integrity and quality of photographs;
  • Checks on the integrity and recognition of documents;
  • Extraction and analysis of text, graphical layout, and any other available information on the documents, face photographs and biometric data, and background;
  • Analysis of results of all the steps combined, considering multiple variables, predictions and confidence values for a final score;
  • Lookups against known images as well as known fraudulent cases;
  • Procedures to minimize demographic bias in machine learning algorithms; and
  • In cases of identity verification, a selfie or video may be used to compare against the photograph on an identification document, to ensure the individual is genuinely present during the transaction.

Jumio uses these automated checks to inform our Customer, but Jumio does not use automated decision-making to make a final decision that would produce legal or similarly significant effects for you. Please contact the Customer directly with any questions regarding the rights you may have to the extent your personal information is subject to automated decision-making.

Legal basis for processing

When we process personal information as a processor (or service provider) for our Customers, we are acting on their behalf. When we process personal information of residents of the EEA, Switzerland, the UK, or Brazil as a controller (or business), we will do so with the following legal bases:

  • Your consent;
  • The prevailing legitimate interest of our Customers and Jumio to achieve the purposes set out in Section 6;
  • The prevailing legitimate interest of individuals whose personal information is used for a fraudulent transaction to not become victims of identity theft;
  • The necessity to comply with legal obligations to which we are subject; and
  • The necessity for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

15. Will this notice change?
