Identity Verification
As part of your application, we use Stripe Identity to verify your identity. You will be asked to submit a photo of a government-issued ID and take a selfie, which Stripe compares to the photo on your ID.
Stripe processes this information on our behalf and may create biometric identifiers from your selfie and ID photo solely to confirm you are who you say you are. Stripe retains biometric identifiers for up to one year and other verification data for approximately three years, under its own terms. The Host & Co. receives the verification result — verified or not — and does not receive or store your ID images or biometric data.
This is an identity check, not a background check or credit check. It is not a consumer report and is not used to evaluate your creditworthiness, character, or reputation.
If you prefer not to complete selfie-based verification, contact us at support@thehostandcompany.com and we will provide an alternative method that does not use biometric matching.
