How We Protect Your Information
Login Credentials
Some Web2 Stamps require a login using the common Oauth. These Stamps include LinkedIn, Google, and Discord. The login and session information is only stored in our services long enough to validate the underlying Stamp. Once we have verified that information the login details are discarded. Nothing is stored on our servers.
Hashing Your Data
We change any personal info into a secure code called a "hash." We store this hash instead of your actual information. This method makes sure no one can see your personal information, and it helps prevent anyone from using your identity more than once.
Different types of Stamps
Your Passport contains various Stamps that prove your identity or qualifications. Each category of Stamp serves a specific purpose and helps in verifying different aspects of your identity:
Blockchain & Crypto Networks
These Stamps are like digital badges that showcase your involvement and transactions within blockchain networks. They are crucial for activities related to cryptocurrencies and decentralized applications.
Government IDs
These Stamps are issued based on government-issued documents like your passport or driver’s license. They help in verifying your legal identity and are often required for formal and official verifications.
Social & Professional Platforms
Stamps from platforms like LinkedIn, Google, or GitHub confirm your affiliations and credentials on these sites. They are useful for verifying your professional and social identities online.
Biometric Verification
These involve high-security processes that use unique biological traits such as facial recognition to verify your identity. They are among the most secure types of verification available, providing strong assurance of a person's identity.
