To ensure a safe and secure marketplace, NiYA Gigs may request freelancers to verify their identity using an official government ID. Here’s how we handle your data responsibly throughout this process:
Data Privacy and Security
We prioritize the security of your personal information. By implementing robust security measures, industry-standard technologies, and strict internal procedures, we protect your data against unauthorized access or misuse.
For detailed information, refer to our Privacy Policy.
How We Use Your Data
Your ID verification helps us:
- Build trust within the NiYA Gigs community.
- Secure the platform and prevent fraud (e.g., fake or misleading accounts).
- Recover hijacked accounts and verify ownership.
- Enforce our Terms of Service.
- Ensure users meet the age and legal requirements for participation.
Your identification will never be used for marketing or shared with other users. It is strictly used to ensure a trustworthy marketplace.
Benefits of ID Verification
ID verification enhances security standards, benefiting both freelancers and clients. It helps maintain the integrity of the platform and ensures a positive user experience for all.
Data Retention
- Copies of your ID and selfies are retained for a limited period (e.g., 30 days).
- Beyond this, only essential details (e.g., your name, date of birth, hashed ID number, document type, and country) are securely stored for verification and safety purposes.
- You may request to delete your data, though this may impact your account functionality in some cases.
