KYC Verification and Identity Information

iSkills LLC (“iSkills”, “we”, “us” or “our”) may require you to complete Know Your Customer (KYC) verification to access certain services, products, features, or communities within the iSkills Ecosystem (collectively, “Services”). This section explains how KYC data is collected, used, shared, stored, retained, and protected.

Why We Do KYC

We collect and process identity information for the following legitimate and limited purposes:

1. Genuine Community Protection:
   To ensure that only legitimate students and users access iSkills Services, reducing fake accounts, impersonation, and misuse.
2. Fraud Prevention and Safety:
   To detect and prevent fraud, phishing, identity misuse, and other abusive behavior that could harm our community members.
3. Service Access Control:
   To safely grant or restrict access to iSkills platforms—including learning portals, support systems, marketplaces, and groups—based on verified identity.
4. Operational Integrity:
   To maintain the integrity of our community, protect student data, and support compliance with lawful obligations related to fraud prevention and digital identity management.

Important Clarification:
iSkills’ KYC process is intended solely for internal trust, safety, and access control within the iSkills ecosystem. It is not financial due diligence, nor is it intended to meet governmental compliance requirements such as AML (anti-money laundering) or identity verification used by banks or regulated financial institutions.

What Information We Collect for KYC

When you complete KYC, we may collect:

• Full legal name
• Email address and phone number (where applicable)
• Copies of government-issued identity documents (e.g., passport, national ID, driver’s license)
• Images or videos for facial and liveness verification
• Metadata extracted from documents (e.g., document type, number, expiration)
• Technical and usage data (e.g., IP address, device/browser info, timestamps)

This information may be submitted directly by you or collected via our third-party verification service provider.

Third-Party Identity Verification (Didit)

To perform identity verification, iSkills uses Didit, a third-party identity verification service provider.

Didit acts as a data processor and processes identity documents, biometric information, and verification signals on behalf of iSkills and strictly in accordance with contractual and legal obligations.

Information shared with Didit may include:

• Government-issued identity documents
• Facial images and liveness verification videos
• Basic identity metadata (name, email, reference ID)

Didit returns verification results and risk indicators to iSkills.
These results are provided “as-is” and are used by iSkills solely for internal trust, safety, and access-control decisions within the iSkills ecosystem.

iSkills does not control, and is not responsible for, Didit’s internal algorithms, scoring methodologies, or verification logic.

Didit processes personal data in accordance with its own privacy policy and applicable data protection laws. Users are encouraged to review Didit’s privacy policy before completing verification.

How We Use Your KYC Information

We use KYC information only for:

• Verifying your identity for service eligibility
• Protecting the Services against fraud and abuse
• Enforcing platform rules and safety policies
• Communicating verification results and service updates

KYC data is not used for marketing purposes.

Third Parties We Share KYC Data With

To perform KYC verification, we share data with authorized third-party service providers, such as:

• Third-party identity verification service (e.g., Didit)
• Email and delivery partners (where required to notify you)
• Security and analytics partners that assist in fraud detection

These third parties process information under strict contracts that prohibit use outside of KYC verification and protective services.

We do not sell, rent, or lease personal information to any third parties for commercial marketing.

Security of KYC Data

We implement reasonable safeguards to protect personal information used for KYC, including:

• Encryption in transit and at rest
• Restricted access controls
• Routine security monitoring and audits
• Secure data storage and retention practices

Despite robust security, no system can be guaranteed impervious to attack. You acknowledge and accept this inherent risk.

Retention and Deletion

KYC data is retained only as necessary to:

• Provide KYC services
• Comply with legal obligations
• Prevent fraud and dispute misuse
• Maintain audit records

Unless otherwise required by law, KYC records are generally retained for a minimum period as required for security and compliance (e.g., up to 7 years after account closure).

You may request correction or deletion of your KYC data (subject to legal and safety retention obligations) by contacting us.

Consequences of Not Completing KYC

Failure to complete KYC when required may result in:

• Suspension or restriction of access to iSkills Services
• Ineligibility for certain platforms (support, marketplace, groups, etc.)
• Limitation on account features until verification is complete

Access may be restored once KYC is successfully completed.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to:

• Access, correct, or export your personal information
• Request deletion or restriction of processing
• Object to specific processing activities
• Withdraw consent (where applicable)

We will respond to valid requests in accordance with applicable law and may require identity verification prior to fulfilling a request.

Legal Basis for Processing (Where Applicable)

Where required by law (e.g., EU GDPR), our processing of KYC data is based on one or more of the following legal grounds:

• Your consent
• Legitimate interests in fraud prevention and service safety
• Legal obligations under applicable law
