Our mission

Private identity for all

Our mission is our name, Private Identity!

In today’s digital world, verifying identity—or specific aspects of it—should be simple, secure, and free from the risk of sensitive information being compromised.

Private Identity uses on-device, privacy-preserving technologies to empower individuals to protect their personal information, maintain privacy, and control their online presence. By avoiding the storage or sharing of raw biometric data, it minimizes risks of data breaches and ensures compliance with regulations like GDPR, BIPA, and CCPA, enabling organizations to verify identities confidently while building user trust.

By safeguarding against identity theft, online fraud, and cyberstalking, Private Identity provides security and peace of mind. It also protects individuals vulnerable to discrimination or harassment, allowing them to preserve their anonymity and protect themselves from harm.

Privacy is a fundamental right, and everyone should have the ability to control how their personal information is shared and used, ensuring security and autonomy in a connected world.

Our core

Privacy by Design

Private Identity’s proprietary solutions and patented technologies protect the privacy of an individual’s personal information and identity, while still allowing for secure and reliable authentication, validation and search. This can be achieved through various privacy-preserving techniques such as differential privacy, secure multi-party computation, and or patented homomorphic tokenization technology.
