Purpose
This Biometrics and KYC Policy complements Wibx’s Privacy Policy and describes how data related to identification, authentication and platform-security procedures is processed.
02
Data processed
During authentication and registration validation processes, Wibx may process data required to verify identity, protect accounts and maintain operational security.
For teenagers between 14 and 18, verification is done with the legal guardian, who assists and authorizes the registration (art. 14 of the LGPD).
- Facial image.
- Liveness check and authentication video.
- Audio of the authentication video: only the spoken declaration of ownership, recorded with the video. It is not used as voice biometrics nor processed outside the video.
- Official documents.
- Document photograph.
- CPF or equivalent identification number.

03
Purpose of processing

04
Legal basis
Facial image and liveness check are sensitive data and are only processed in the cases of art. 11 of the LGPD. Wibx does not rely on legitimate interest or credit protection as a basis for sensitive data, because art. 11 does not allow them.

- Retention of the KYC file after account closure: art. 11, II, "a" (compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation) and "d" (regular exercise of rights in proceedings).
- Identity document and non-sensitive registration data: performance of contract and compliance with a legal obligation (art. 7, V and II).
05
Data sharing
Wibx may share information when necessary for operation, security, legal compliance or cooperation with competent authorities.
- Technology providers.
- Compliance partners.
- Anti-fraud service providers.
- Competent authorities.
- Sharing required by legal obligation or valid determination.
- Whenever possible, sharing will observe necessity, proportionality and data minimization.

Storage and security
Collected data may be stored in secure environments, using appropriate technical and administrative measures to reduce risks.
- Unauthorized access.
- Alteration.
- Destruction.
- Leakage.
- Unauthorized use.
07
Data retention
The KYC file (document, facial image, liveness check and authentication video with its audio) is kept for 5 (five) years from account closure, the period set by art. 10 of Law 9,613/1998 for identification records.
