SheerID Global Privacy Policy
Last Updated: October 12, 2023
This Privacy Policy explains how SheerID, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates (“SheerID”, “we”, or “us”) collect, use, and disclose information about you. We strive to protect and respect your privacy.
This Privacy Policy applies when you use our websites and other online products and services that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”), contact our customer service team, engage with us on social media, or otherwise interact with us directly.
This Privacy Policy applies to specific SheerID Services for which SheerID acts as a business or controller, meaning that for the information collected for those Services, SheerID controls or determines how your personal information is used, processed, shared, and retained. SheerID does this in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy, your expectations, and your privacy rights. As of the date of this Privacy Notice, the SheerID Services to which this Privacy Policy apply are:
- SheerID’s Remember Me Services (Remember Me).
- SheerID’s Audience Services. Because certain features of the Audience Services may constitute “sales”, “sharing”, or “targeted advertising” under applicable data privacy laws, additional information about how SheerID collects, uses, and discloses information about you as part of the Audience Service is available here. For general information about the Audience Services, read here.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to information:
-
(a)processed by SheerID on behalf of other companies utilizing SheerID’s verification platform to verify your identity or age for the purposes of providing you with a discount or other offers (collectively, “Clients”); or
-
(b)collected by any third party, including through any application or content (including advertising) that may link to, be accessible from, or present in the Services (collectively, “Third Party Services”).
In these cases, the relevant Client or Third Party Services acts as the business or controller. If you have any questions about how Clients or Third Party Services collect, use, process, or disclose your personal information, please review their respective privacy policies.
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will revise the date at the end of this policy and, in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our website or sending you a notification). We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy regularly to stay informed about our information practices and the choices available to you.

Your Choices About How We Use and Disclose Your Information
We strive to provide you with choices regarding the personal information you provide to us. We have created mechanisms to provide you with the following control over your information:

Note that we may retain certain information as required by law or for our legitimate business purposes.
- Cookies. In the U.S., most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this site may then be inaccessible or not function properly. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, see our Cookie Policy and the Manage Cookie Consents tool. In Europe, you must opt into cookies.

If we have sent you a promotional email, you may send us a return email asking to be omitted from future email distributions or use the “unsubscribe”.

In Europe, we will not send you promotional emails unless we have your opt-in consent.
Data Retention
We store personal data associated with Client or Remember Me accounts for as long as an account remains active. If you close your account, we will delete your account data within 30 days; otherwise, we will delete your account data after two years of inactivity.
We store other personal data for as long as necessary to carry out the purposes for which we originally collected it and for other legitimate business purposes, including to meet our legal, regulatory, or other compliance obligations.
Data Security
We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given your (or where you have chosen a) password for access to certain parts of our Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure.

For questions regarding how to complete your verification request, please visit Your Privacy Choices or our Help Center.
If we receive your request from an authorized agent, we may ask for evidence that you have provided such agent with a power of attorney or that the agent otherwise has valid written authority to submit requests to submit Data Subject Requests on your behalf. If you are an authorized agent seeking to make a request, please contact us by emailing us at [email protected] or calling 1-833-317-3372.
You may also have the right to appeal the denial of any of these Data Subject Requests, depending on the state in which you reside, by submitting a form that will be provided to you if we deny a data request and are aware that you live in a state that provides an appeal right. Depending on your data choices, certain Services may be limited or unavailable.
SheerID processes all Data Subject Requests and does not screen or limit them by jurisdiction. From January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022, SheerID received three Data Subject Requests. SheerID responded to those which it was able to verify and authenticate and that were addressed to SheerID in its capacity as a controller.
