CAIRL Trust Center
Verified. Not exposed.
CAIRL is built to prove who you are — without exposing your personal data. Security, privacy, and control are not features. They are the foundation of the platform.
Privacy First by Design
CAIRL is designed to minimize data exposure at every layer:
- Claims, not documents — Connected services receive verification results (e.g., “age verified”), not your ID, selfie, or biometric data. Claims are scoped to the requesting service and do not provide a universal identity profile across services.
- Consent required — Every data share requires explicit user authorization. Verification claims are generated per request and are not reused or shared across services without user consent.
- Revocable access — You can revoke access to any connected service at any time
- Private by default — No data is shared with connected services unless you choose to share it
- Data minimization — We are designed to collect only the data necessary to perform verification and deliver the services you use
Biometric Protection
Biometric data is handled with strict controls:
- Explicit consent required before any biometric collection — obtained through a dedicated consent screen in the verification interface, separate from Terms of Service acceptance
- Session-based processing — session-specific biometric data is processed in real time and is not retained beyond what is required to complete the verification session
- Biometric reference (facial embedding) may be retained solely for uniqueness enforcement (one human = one account) and fraud prevention
- Deletion within 30 days of account closure, deletion request, or withdrawal of consent
- AWS Rekognition processes biometric data solely on CAIRL's behalf and under its instructions. CAIRL does not permit the use of this data for model training
We do not sell, lease, or otherwise monetize biometric data.
No Tracking. No Profiling.
CAIRL does not use your data for advertising, cross-service tracking, or behavioral profiling. We do not use your personal information, biometric data, or verification records to train machine learning models. Your data is used only for verification, security, and fraud prevention.
Security Architecture
CAIRL uses industry-standard and modern security practices:
- Encryption at rest: AES-256
- Encryption in transit: TLS 1.3
- Key management: Dedicated key management systems with strict access controls and automatic rotation
- Infrastructure: AWS + Vercel under a shared responsibility model
- Bot protection: Cloudflare Turnstile
- Phone verification: Twilio (OTP delivery)
- Access controls: Role-based, least privilege, MFA required for all staff
- Authentication: Passkey-first (WebAuthn) with passwords as fallback
- Audit logging: All access to user data by CAIRL personnel is logged and subject to periodic audit
We operate with a defense-in-depth model across infrastructure, application, and data layers.

Identity Infrastructure — Not a Data Broker
CAIRL is not a data broker, not an advertising platform, and not a surveillance system.
We do not monetize your data. We provide verification infrastructure — not identity resale. CAIRL provides verification signals and claims based on submitted information. CAIRL is not a government authority, certification body, or regulated KYC provider unless explicitly stated in a separate written agreement.
Compliance Approach
We design our systems to support major regulatory frameworks:
- BIPA / State biometric laws — Explicit consent, published retention and destruction schedule, deletion on request
- GDPR — Data minimization, consent and legitimate interest legal bases, data controller/processor model, Standard Contractual Clauses for international transfers
- CCPA — No sale of personal information, authorized agent support, non-discrimination
- COPPA — Guardian-managed participation for minors through circles with verifiable parental consent
We are actively preparing for SOC 2 Type II audit. We do not claim certification until audits are complete and the auditor's report is received.
CAIRL is not a HIPAA covered entity or business associate unless explicitly contracted under a Business Associate Agreement.
Payments and Financial Data
- Payments are processed by Stripe — CAIRL does not store full card numbers
- CAIRL does not act as a financial intermediary, payment processor, or custodian of funds
- Business User prepaid wallets are service balances only — not deposit accounts, stored value instruments, or financial products
Transparency and Control
You can:
- Access your data — Request a copy of all personal information we hold
- Delete your data — Including biometric references, subject to applicable legal, security, and fraud prevention requirements
- Export your data — Receive your data in a portable format
- Revoke connections — Remove access for any connected service
- Manage cookie preferences — Through our Cookie Preference Center
at any time.
