4. Verification data
Selfies and ID images are used only to confirm that your profile is genuine. Our team checks your name and date of birth against the ID; we store only the ID type and its last four characters. The images are deleted as soon as the review is complete. For Aadhaar, we recommend masking the first eight digits.
