Privacy Policy
We have applied to UIDAI for obtaining an Authentication User Agency (AUA) license to operate as an AUA for providing Aadhar based eSign Service. The following privacy policy will be applicable for eSign Service that we intend to provide after receiving the license from UIDAI.
Personal data – ‘Personal data’ meaning any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier. For example, Aadhar number, name, home address or private email address.
Processing – means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
Third-party – means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who are authorized to process personal data.

Policy
UIDAI Face/Biometric Data Retention – IDSign CA does not capture, store, or have access to any face image or biometric data. Face capture is performed exclusively by the UIDAI Aadhaar FaceRD app, a government application operated by the Unique Identification Authority of India.
Third Party Sharing – The encrypted PID is shared with UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) via their Aadhaar eKYC API for identity verification. UIDAI processes this data in accordance with the Aadhaar Act, 2016, and their own privacy policy. UIDAI does not store face images — they validate the encrypted biometric against their records and return an authentication result only.
Encrypted PID Only – The only data received by IDSign CA from the FaceRD process is an encrypted PID block — a cryptographic token that cannot be reversed to reveal face or biometric data. This token is transmitted to our backend solely for the purpose of completing Aadhaar eKYC authentication and is not stored after the transaction.
Retention Period – No face data or biometric information is stored by IDSign CA. The encrypted PID token is discarded immediately after the authentication transaction completes.
Purpose
The confidential information collected will not be disclosed to a third party without the subscriber’s consent unless the information is required to be disclosed under the law or court order
The public certificates issued are published in the certificate database as per CCA guidelines
