As a global leader of powering trusted identities, HID takes privacy and security very seriously.

Our biometric solutions are designed using the Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDL) methodology to ensure they can be securely integrated into our customers’ infrastructures. The SSDL process also gives developers insight into potential security gaps and threats before they occur.

Our technologies are developed using Privacy by Design — ethical data collection with user opt-in/opt-out and EULA guidance that’s fully compliant with today’s privacy regulations such as GDPR.
