* When our Customers use certain Services, we generally process and store limited personal information on their behalf as a data processor. For example, in the context of document signing, when a Customer uploads contracts or other documents for review or signature, we act as a data processor and process the documents on the Customer's behalf and in accordance with their instructions. In those instances, the Customer is the data controller and is responsible for most aspects of the processing of the personal information. If you have any questions or concerns about how personal information is processed in these cases, including how to exercise your rights as a data subject, you should contact the Customer (either individual or entity requesting your signature). If we receive any rights requests concerning instances where we act as data processor, we will forward your query on to the relevant Customer.

Special categories of data

ZealiD processes ID photos (and all data therein) and selfie videos systematically for the purposes of unique identification and authentication of a natural person. This falls into GDPR article 9 that prohibits all such processing unless an exemption is provided by law. 

ZealiD bases its processing on two legal grounds under GDPR Article 9: 

  • Article 9 (2) (a): the data subject has given explicit consent
    • Article 4 (1): ‘consent’ of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her;
  • ZealiD services are regulated and the requirements to process ID documents are defined by law (e.g., copy of ID document required, birth date, birth place).

You specifically consent to ZealiD processing and storing personal data that allow us to uniquely identify you as a natural person. Such personal data includes unique identifiers such as personal code, citizen service number, social security number, etc.  For example, Dutch BSN (“burgerservicenummer”), Swedish personal number (“personnummer”) and Lithuanian personal code (“asmens kodas”).

Before using the ZealiD service you specifically consent to ZealiD automated processing and automated decision making of your personal data, such as age (verification of you being over 18 years old), ID document data (verification of ZealiD supported documents, ID document issuing and validity dates), facial features (for the verification of liveness), NFC Signature validation (if present). During the liveness check the Subscriber’s camera view of the three-dimensional face changes, observing perspective distortion and proving it is 3D. Relevant automated decisions are taken on the basis of a fully automated process without any human intervention. 

The terms of use and privacy policies are in addition to the consent and information published in ZealiD service flows and on the zealid.com website. 

ZealiD has implemented security measures to secure high risk ID document data. The measures are described in the ZealiD CPS and TSPS available at https://www.zealid.com/en/repository. They are also resulting from the relevant Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs). This includes and is not limited to minimizing access, enforcing 2FA authentication for all actors accessing system that contain Special Categories and encrypting all evidence packages. 

Documentation and maintenance of consent

ZealiD processes are built with GDPR in mind. Without active participation and consent to data subject facing information - including links to privacy and terms, the service cannot be used. No access to data of a data subject will be granted unless a standardized process involving information and consent is completed in the ZealiD Mobile App. All consumers have consented to the service they are going through. 

Provision of consent

Our products are GDPR by design therefore we demonstrate to the Customer that enrolment/registration cannot be done without consent. 

For general usage of the ZealiD Mobile App, the User is in control of the data at all times. No sign-in or e-signature can be issued without active use of the PIN or biometric authentication at the phone. Upon request provided to the DPO, we can provide timing and more in-depth details of when you have enrolled. 

Revocation of the consent

The nature of our verification service is that a consent to process data cannot always be withdrawn because the data used is required by law, for example where ZealiD issues a qualified electronic certificate and maintains the remote signature creation capabilities for the subscriber. However, the certificate can be revoked. Please refer to https://www.zealid.com/en/revocation.

Underage users

ZealiD policy restricts Users younger than 18. This is checked as part of our Service registration.  It is stated in Terms and Conditions Subscribers ZealiD TRA Service that we don’t accept underaged (below 18).

Certificates for trust services are issued for longer periods and as minimum for 2 years. A certificate can be deleted but the evidence package that corresponds to the signatures produced by the User needs to be saved for as long as the signature is valid. This will be a long period typically up to 12 years.
