Why We Place Passport & ID Security First
Many users upload passport, visa, and national identity photos containing sensitive facial biometric features. We handle your files with the same privacy protocols expected by official government authorities. Your image is never stored longer than necessary, never indexed, and never linked to external advertising profiles.
Our 5 Data Security Guarantees
Clear, transparent explanations of how your data, payment, and photos are protected at every stage of the process.
Bank-Grade Encryption
Every byte of data transferred between your device and our processing servers is secured with industry-standard TLS 1.3 and 256-bit SSL encryption. During transient processing, files are protected using AES-256 encryption at rest in isolated, firewalled server environments.
Key Technical Safeguards:
- TLS 1.3 transport security for all uploads & downloads
- AES-256 encryption for data at rest during processing
- HTTPS-only strict transport security (HSTS) enforced
- Isolated processing containers with zero public exposure
Payment Security & Financial Protection
Your financial transactions are handled exclusively through world-class, PCI-DSS Level 1 certified payment gateways (Stripe & trusted partners). PixPassport never receives, stores, or processes your credit card numbers, CVVs, or bank credentials.
Key Technical Safeguards:
- Zero payment card data stored on PixPassport servers
- Tokenized end-to-end checkout flow via Stripe
- Encrypted credit card & digital wallet processing
- Instant digital receipt & fraud prevention protection
Temporary Image Retention
We understand that passport and ID photos contain sensitive biometric information. Images are retained strictly for the time required to perform AI compliance checks, background removal, and sizing. Download links are cryptographically signed and automatically expire after 1 hour.
Key Technical Safeguards:
- Images stored only long enough to complete processing & download
- Signed, temporary download URLs expiring after 60 minutes
- Zero permanent cloud storage or permanent archive databases
- Strict employee access restriction — zero manual viewing without consent
Automatic Permanent Deletion
Our system features an automated background purge engine that permanently deletes uploaded photos, processed templates, and cached files from our storage disks within 24 hours. Deleted files cannot be recovered by anyone—including our engineers.
Key Technical Safeguards:
- Automated continuous deletion scripts running 24/7
- Complete disk overwrite & cache purge within 24 hours
- Manual instant delete button available directly on your preview screen
- No residual backup snapshots kept of user biometric photos
No Selling User Data & No AI Model Training
Your privacy is not for sale. We pledge that your photos, facial data, email addresses, and personal information are NEVER sold, rented, leased, or shared with third-party advertisers, data brokers, or marketing firms. Furthermore, your photos are NEVER used to train public AI models.
Key Technical Safeguards:
- Zero data monetization — we sell photo processing, not your data
- Zero sharing with ad networks, data brokers, or marketing partners
- Prohibited use of photos for public AI or facial recognition model training
- Full compliance with GDPR (EU), CCPA/CPRA (California), & global privacy laws
