Are you GDPR compliant?

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Compliance Guidelines

Your privacy is protected through the collection, processing, storage, and deletion of all data following GDPR regulations.

Checkboard is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom and data protection has been a priority when designing and building our systems and procedures.

Why do you need my data?

Criminal activity has increased significantly over the past few years, making it more likely that businesses will be caught up either directly or indirectly.

This presents a risk to regulated businesses that fail to conduct these checks and are likely to face substantial fines and other serious consequences.

Checkboard helps law firms and other regulated organisations across the UK verify and onboard their clients while ensuring their data is protected.

We accomplish this with an app that provides a quick and secure way to check IDs at any time, in the comfort of your own place.

How do you use my data?

1️⃣ Checkboard verifies your ID

2️⃣ we gather information according to the type of flow you've been invited to complete

3️⃣ and create a report that will be sent to the organisation that requested the flow

Do you store my data?

The law requires us to retain your data for at least six years.

We keep some data to comply with our legal obligations according to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including those under the FCA, for establishing, defending and exercising legal claims.

Who do you share my data with?

As part of our industry-standard flows, we share your data with the organisation that requested your ID flows and with trusted third parties.

What do your third parties do with my data?

Detailed information about each trusted third party's handling of your data can be found in our privacy policy. Our goal is to help you securely share your data, not sell it.

How do you protect my data?

All data stored and processed by Checkboard is encrypted using industry-standard encryption technology. All data transferred between your device and Checkboard (data in transit) is also encrypted and access is restricted via industry-standard HTTP tokenisation.
