The passage, in context

Paragraph 41 of 53

If you want to learn more about AWS's privacy practices, you can click here . We do not share your facial geometry information and screenshots with other third parties.

What will you keep after verification is complete?

We will keep three screenshots from your video selfie during the life of your account to audit and manage our selfie verification feature. These screenshots are deleted upon account closure in accordance with our Privacy Policy .

We'll also keep the results of the Selfie Verification process (i.e., verified or not) and your age estimate for the life of your account. We may use your age estimate and audit images to train select machine learning models that power our trust and safety tools, as well as to test and audit such models and tools. We will delete this data upon account closure pursuant to our Privacy Policy .

We do not keep the underlying facial geometry information or "template" beyond the Selfie Verification process (usually complete within 24 hours). We do not keep your video selfie.

Note: In regions where Face Check is required, the facial geometry data is retained for the life of the account, and it is deleted from our systems following account closure, in accordance with our Privacy Policy and as described in our FAQ . Even in these regions, the video selfie is not retained beyond completion of the Face Check process.

Under what legal authority do you process the Selfie Verification information?
