1. Information Collected
On behalf of
our customers ("Relying Parties") DTIS authenticates the
identity of individuals ("Subscribers"/"you"), using a unique
credential ("the Service").
If a Subscriber consent in
each instance, DTIS may use a Subscriber's unique credential to
authenticate the Subscriber to more than one Relying Party.
To enable DTIS to provide the Service, Subscribers must enroll
into the DTIS system using the DTIS Web site ("Enrollment").
During Enrollment DTIS requires Subscribers to provide DTIS with
personal contact information, such as their name, phone number,
and email address ("Required Contact Information").
In
addition, DTIS requires Subscribers to provide DTIS with certain
biometric information, namely 'voice prints' and a facial image
("Biometric Information"). This information will be collected
both on the Web site during Enrolment, and using the mobile
application, to complete an authentication request from a
Relying Party.
Further, as part of the Enrollment and
authentication processes DTIS may collect information such as
Subscriber's IP address, geographic location, mobile device ID
and other related attributes required to provide the Service
("Device Information"). A Subscriber may turn off geographic
location at device level at any time. However, DTIS may no
longer be able to authenticate a Subscriber without geographic
location to a Relying Party that requires same.
Required Contact Information, Biometric Information and Device Information are referred to collectively as "Subscriber Data".
2. Use of Information Collected

uses Subscriber Data solely to perform the Service and to
contact Subscribers with information regarding the Service. This
may include using collected data to test new authentication
algorithms or policies, to improve the Service over time.

DTIS uses security measures

firewalls, intrusion detection systems, 24 x 7 physical

facilities, and strong security procedures across all service

safe, secure, and only available to the Subscriber to whom the
information belongs and those to whom the Subscriber has granted
access. Subscribers are responsible for maintaining the security
and confidentiality of their DTIS PINS, passwords, or any other
"secret" information used as part of the authentication process.
