Identity Verification

Verify identity without hoarding biometric data.

Redact and minimize faces, ID-document fields, and biometric identifiers with zero-retention processing - so you store less, and carry less liability.

Before
[PII visible]
After
[PII redacted]

ID document + selfie - verification-relevant region highlighted; non-essential PII fields and background bystanders redacted.

Biometric data is among the most regulated and costly categories of PII.
Every identifier you store is a breach surface and a compliance obligation.
Customers expect “we don’t keep your biometrics” as a baseline.
How it works

Three steps. Nothing stored.

1

Send media

Push a file or URL via REST API - or trigger at the moment your users upload.

2

Scanon detects PII

Faces, plates, IDs, badges, and tattoos identified across images and video.

3

Redacted media returned

You get the clean asset back. Nothing is stored on our side. Zero retention.

Capabilities

Built for this vertical, not repurposed for it.

Data minimization, built in

Redact fields and identifiers you don’t need to keep.

Biometric-aware redaction

Detect and mask faces and biometric identifiers on documents and captured media.

Zero-retention by architecture

Nothing persists on Scanon’s side.

Trust & compliance

Zero-retention architecture.

Designed to support GDPR, CCPA, and biometric-privacy regimes such as BIPA.

Coverage: faces, license plates, ID documents, badges, and tattoos - across images and video.

Zero-retention reduces what you store and what you defend in an audit.

Integration

No ML infra to build. One API call.

Fits into your KYC pipeline in one call - send captured media, get a minimized asset back. Works on images and video with the same endpoint.

  • • REST API + SDKs (Node, Python)
  • • Images and video from a single endpoint
  • • Redact at point of upload
