1. What does Incode do?

Incode is headquartered in the United States and has offices and group companies located around the world. Incode provides Incode Omni, an end-to-end identity platform that offers a frictionless customer experience at every point of contact across multiple channels. Incode Omni is deployed on third-party websites or mobile applications that belong to our customers (“Customers”) and allows our Customers to securely verify the identity of their customers or users (“Users”). You can find more information about us and Incode Omni here. Incode also offers IncodeID, a direct-to-consumer, frictionless identity verification platform that allows IncodeID users to verify their identity with companies that accept IncodeID.

2. What does this Privacy Notice cover?

This Privacy Notice covers our collection, use and disclosure of personal data that we gather in the usual course of business, for example, through our website at incode.com, including its subdomains such as docs.incode.com (the “Website”), when you access or use IncodeID or Incode Omni (the “Products”), through responses to surveys or questionnaires, when you send us an email or otherwise contact us or at offline locations and events (all together, the “Services”). In such case, we act as a data controller of your personal data.

Please note that we also act as a processor when providing identity verification services to certain of our Customers. This Privacy Notice does not apply to the personal data that we process as a data processor on behalf of our Customers in the course of providing Incode Omni.

We will only process your personal data if we have a legal basis for doing so. The legal basis on which we rely depend on the personal data concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. Generally, we rely on the following legal bases:

Contractual Necessity: We process your personal data as a matter of “contractual necessity,” meaning that we need to process the data to perform a contract with you, such as to provide you with the Services through our Customers’ applications and/or websites. When we process personal data due to contractual necessity, failure to provide such personal data will result in your inability to use some or all portions of the Services that require such personal data.

Legitimate Interest: We may also process your personal data when we believe it furthers the legitimate interest of us or other parties and such interest is not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. Examples of these legitimate interests include:

  • Providing, customizing and improving the Services;
  • Corresponding with you;
  • Promoting our Services; and
  • Maintaining the security of our Services.

We may have other legitimate interests and if applicable, we will make clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are.

Consent: In some cases, we process personal data based on the consent you expressly grant to us at the time we collect such personal data. When we process personal data based on your consent, it will be expressly indicated to you at the point and time of collection.

Legal Obligation: From time to time we may also need to process personal data to comply with a legal obligation, if it is necessary to protect the vital interests of you or other data subjects, or if it is necessary for a task carried out in the public interest.

  1. European data subject rights

European residents have certain rights with respect to your personal data, including those set forth below. For more information about these rights, or to submit a request, please email us at dataprotection@incode.com. Please note that we will respond to all requests we receive from individuals wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws. In some cases, we may also need you to provide us with additional information, which may include personal data, if necessary to verify your identity and the nature of your request.

  • Access: You can request more information about the personal data we hold about you and request a copy of such personal data.

  • Erasure: You can request that we erase some or all of your personal data from our systems.
  • Restriction of Processing: You can ask us to restrict further processing of your personal data.
  • Objection: You can contact us to let us know that you object to the further use or disclosure of your personal data for certain purposes, such as for direct marketing purposes.
  • Withdrawal of Consent: If we are processing your personal data based on your consent (as indicated at the time of collection of such personal data), you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please note, however, that if you exercise this right, it will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your personal data conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.
  • You have the right to lodge a complaint about Incode’s practices with respect to your personal data with a supervisory authority, in particular, in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. A list of Supervisory Authorities is available here: https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/board/members_en.
  1. Transfers of personal data

Incode is a United States company with service providers located in the United States and other countries. This means that your personal data may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are located. These countries may have data protection laws that are different to the laws of your country (and, in some cases, may not be as protective). We take appropriate safeguards to ensure that your personal data remains protected in accordance with this Privacy Notice and applicable data protection laws. If you are located in the EEA, UK or Switzerland, these safeguards include transferring your personal data to a country that applicable authorities have determined provides an adequate level of protection for personal data, or by implementing the Standard Contractual Clauses with our Customers, service providers and partners. If you wish to obtain a copy of our Standard Contractual Clauses, please contact us by sending an email to dataprotection@incode.com. By accessing and/or using our Services, you agree to the processing of your personal data in the jurisdiction in which we operate.

15. Additional information for Australian residents

If you reside in Australia or are using our services or interacting with Incode in Australia, the following applies to you. This section supplements, supersedes and extends the scope of this Privacy Notice generally. The remaining sections of this Privacy Notice, other than those sections which are expressly limited to foreign jurisdictions outside of Australia or are inconsistent with the specifics of this section, also apply to you and you should consider this Privacy Notice in full for full details of how we manage your personal data, including the kinds of personal data we collect, how we collect your personal data and the purposes for which your personal data is collected, held, used and disclosed.

A. Are we a data controller or data processor?

Some privacy regimes that we are subject to distinguish how we may collect, use and disclose your personal data depending on whether we are classified as a “data processor” or “data controller.” Under these regimes, we act as a processor when providing identity verification services to our Customers. The “data processor” and “data controller” distinction is not relevant to you to the extent Australian privacy law applies and we have obligations to you with respect the personal data we hold about you, even when acting as a “data processor.” The “data processor” section below explains how we collect and process personal data as data processors on behalf of our Customers in the course of providing our Services. However, these practices are dependent on, and connected with, the data collection and use practices of our Customers.

B. Information we collect as a Data Processor

In certain instances where you use the Incode Omni, we are acting as a data processor on behalf of our Customers for the purposes of certain applicable privacy laws. In these circumstances, there is no difference in the manner of how we collect your personal data, the type of personal data collected or the third parties to whom we may disclose personal data collected to. You should refer to the sections titled “What personal data does Incode collect and why does Incode collect it?” and “How does Incode disclose personal data?” for information regarding what personal data we collect and how we collect and disclose personal data, respectively, when acting as data processors on behalf of our Customers.

The purpose for which we collect your personal data when using Incode Omni remains to verify your identity, authenticate your information and prevent fraud when you use our Customers’ websites or mobile applications. When we act as data processors, exactly how and to what extent Incode Omni is applied or operated may be subject to our Customer’s instructions or control. When acting as a data processor, the personal data that you input into Incode Omni may also be collected by, or held at the direction of, our Customers. Our Customers will use and disclose such personal data in accordance with their own privacy practices and obligations and in accordance with applicable law. We invite you to contact or refer to the relevant Customer if you need any further information regarding the privacy practices of our Customers.

While your use of Incode Omni is always voluntary and subject to your consent, we note that our Customers may be required by law to verify your identity to certain prescribed standards prior to offering services to you. For further information regarding your personal data in those cases beyond the details herein included regarding Incode’s activity, we invite you to contact the relevant company or organization if you have any questions about their privacy practices. In all other cases, we act as a data controller of your personal data for the purposes of applicable privacy law.

C. Your rights under Australian privacy law

You are entitled to access the personal data we hold about you and may request that we correct any errors in the personal data we hold. If you would like to access or correct your personal data held by us, please contact us at:

We will take reasonable steps to allow you to access your personal data unless reasonable circumstances exist that would prohibit us from doing so.

We will correct your personal data where we are satisfied that the personal data is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading. If we correct any personal data that we have disclosed to third parties we will take reasonable steps to notify those parties of the change or update. You accept that, following a request to correct your personal data, we may be required to take reasonable steps to verify your identity or the personal data, which may include confirmation with third parties.

If you are concerned that we may have breached the Australian Privacy Principles, please contact us immediately at the contact details set out above. We will undertake a reasonable and expeditious assessment of the concern and suggest relevant resolution processes. This process will be completed as soon as practicable and in any event within 30 days. If you are unsatisfied with our response to, or resolution of, your complaint you may choose to contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at their website www.oaic.gov.au.

D. Direct marketing in Australia

Where we use your personal data to send you marketing and promotional information you will be provided with the opportunity to opt-out of receiving such information. Unless you exercise your right to opt-out of such communication, you will be taken to have consented to receive similar information and communications in the future.
