§4. Use of the Application

Using the Application is possible in two variants, namely as a tool for:

  1. an identity verification process initiated by an IDENTT Partner, from whom the User received a redirection to the Application.
    The User has been redirected to the Application from a dedicated link received from an IDENTT Partner during the identity verification process.
    In the Application, the User can read data from the electronic layer of an ID card or a passport compliant with ICAO 9309.
    The data read in the Application are then processed by IDENTT outside the Application at the request of the Partner, where IDENTT supports the identity verification process and prepares the verification result, which is then provided to the IDENTT Partner who directed the User to the Application and who takes the final decision on the positive or negative outcome of the User’s identity verification.
    In this variant, the User’s data are processed by two independent personal data controllers:
    IDENTT – to the extent of providing the Application’s functionality and reading and processing data from the identity document directly in the Application;
    IDENTT Partner – to the extent of commissioning IDENTT to support the identity verification process and receiving the verification result, its analysis and use in its own process (e.g., contract conclusion, identity verification, fraud prevention, etc.).
  • data preview on the device, i.e., the User uses the Application independently, without involvement of an IDENTT Partner who would have provided a redirection link to the Application.
    The User downloaded the Application independently from an app store (Google Play or App Store).
    The User independently read data from the electronic layer of an identity document (e.g., ID card or passport) and then previewed them in the Application.
    These data are not transmitted anywhere; only local preview is possible. The data remain solely on the User’s device and are not sent to either IDENTT or a Partner, and after the preview ends, the data are automatically deleted from the Application.
