Successful data transmission
After successful transmission of the data to the POSTIDENT portal, the user can be forwarded to a business partners website.
Document review and data provision
The created recordings are checked by software supported by machine learning methods, which checks both the authenticity of the identity documents on the basis of various security features and the correspondence of the photo of the document with the video-portrait you have recorded. In the event of abnormalities and to check the correct functioning of the software, qualified service employees can be used to check individual identification processes. The identification data is automatically transmitted to the business partner after the check.
In accordance with Article 22 (3) GDPR, you have the right to intervene by a person on the part of the controller, to express your own point of view and to contest the decision when using automated decision-making. These rights are to be asserted against the partner, who can, for example, offer you alternative identification procedures.
Explanations of data collected and transmitted
In this context, the identification data and the digital copy of the identity document are collected for transmission to the business partner and for the verification of the data. The digital copy of the identity document will only be transmitted to business partners who are subject to a corresponding regulatory requirement (e.g.dem Telecommunications Act (TKG) or the eIDAS Regulation). The collected data will be deleted after completion of the identification at Deutsche Post at the latest after seven days, in suspected fraud cases at the latest after 8 weeks.
Processing of biometric data
As part of AutoID's implementation of the POSTIDENT procedure, biometric data is processed in order to better detect fraud attempts such as identity theft. The position data of the face is compared with the identity document.
Your biometric data will not be stored. Only the results of the processing are stored that do not themselves represent biometric data and do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about the person to be identified. In addition, there is no further processing, e.g. for analyses or profiling.
If you would like to avoid the processing of biometric data, you can alternatively use other methods - if offered by your business partner - such as POSTIDENT via post office or POSTIDENT via online ID function. If these are not offered by your business partner, please contact them.
Using data to support machine learning methods
No personal data is used for the further development of the software used for automatic decision-making. The software is developed exclusively on the basis of public sample data sets, as well as non-personal and/or anonymized data from completed identifications. This data is kept separate from the actual identification data.
