Yoursafe ID is the identity service of Yoursafe. It's targeted to companies that have difficulties obtaining full identification from their customers and to platforms that have an interest not to know the full identity, while still being required to identify their suppliers.
Yoursafe’s innovative identification solution knows your customers and suppliers. The Yoursafe App – available for iOS and Android – and a 24x7 global compliance team is able to complete a full identification in minutes.
The Yoursafe identity technology recognizes over 1700 types of identification documents, from anywhere in the world. From Australian drivers licenses, US identity cards to European passports: Yoursafe knows all the security marks on all 1700 IDs. If there is a chip in the ID document, the Yoursafe App is able to read the chip and add the contents as evidence during the identification process.
With each identification Yoursafe executes a biometric face match: a biometric comparison between the photo of the ID and the photos taken during the Yoursafe App usage. Businesses can rest assured that the person they are dealing with is fully identified.
All identified individuals are checked on various sanction lists, including the ones from the United States, European Union and United Kingdom – and are checked if they are considered to be a “Politically Exposed Person” (PEP). Yoursafe does not allow onboarding of any sanctioned or PEP individuals.
With Yoursafe ID there is no need to know your customer or supplier yourself. Their true identity information is protected by the EU generic data protection regulation. Regular Yoursafe Businesses will therefore not obtain any personal information from Yoursafe, but an “AccountID”. The AccountID is a fully qualified domain name.
By visiting this Account ID (domain name), either by a web browser, server (both HTTP and HTTPS supported) or application (JSON and DNS supported) non-personal information of the individual can be obtained such as: when the user was lastly checked on sanction lists, if the user is 18+ and other attributes.
Businesses can use the AccountID to daily check the status of their customers and talents. Or, if personal information is really needed, you may provide the AccountID to relevant authorities, financial institutions and law enforcement agencies. They are able – upon proving reasoning and their own identification – to obtain additional personal information, all within the Dutch wft, wwfts and sw laws.
As Yoursafe is an electronic money institution, licensed by the Dutch Central Bank, it has the obligation to fully identify all the account holders. As a Yoursafe Business account holder, you may “piggy bag” on the personal identifiable information known at Yoursafe, and identify your customers or talents, without knowing the personal identifiable information yourself.
The use of Yoursafe ID is free of charge.
Of course, you can also use the AccountID to pay your customers or talents. This is where Yoursafe generates its income.
Yoursafe has partnered with various merchant processing payment providers, including CardBilling and GayCharge. These high-risk merchant processing payment providers process transactions with card networks, such as VISA and Visa. Since October 2021 all merchants that operate a MCC5967 business (a business that relates to adult entertainment) are required by the card networks to identify all people that are shown in the graphical images, videos or livestreams.
Yoursafe ID is the answer for the identification problem that these high-risk businesses and platforms are facing. If the Yoursafe Business account holder is using the services of the Yoursafe partners, these businesses can obtain additional information from the customer or talent.
Your customer or supplier decides what attributes of their true identity is supplied to a business that is using the services of the Yoursafe partners. Yoursafe YOU account holders are able to add aliases to their identity – which Yoursafe has verified with large global social media platforms, such as Instagram and Twitter. Upon the Yoursafe ID identification process between the talent and the platform, talents have the option to choose which alias they want to use with the platform.
Yoursafe Business account holders that are using the services of the Yoursafe partners (merchant processing) and that are PCI compliant, are able to retrieve – upon full consent by the talent – to obtain full personal information, verified by Yoursafe.
When you enable Yoursafe ID on your website, you are requested to add a Yoursafe ID button on your website. Your users will click this button and are redirected to Yoursafe for authentication. This is very similar to other technology companies, such as Google and Facebook, who have SSO (Single Signon) available.
Yoursafe combines the technology behind SSO with OpenID Connect. OpenID Connect is an interoperable authentication protocol based on the OAuth 2.0 family of specifications. It uses straightforward REST/JSON message flows with a design goal of “making simple things simple and complicated things possible”. It’s uniquely easy for developers to integrate, compared to any preceding Identity protocol.
Within Yoursafe ID and its OpenID Connect implementation the OpenID Connect Enduser is the Yoursafe You account holder, the OpenID Connect Relying Party is the Yoursafe Business and the OpenID Connect Identity Provider is Yoursafe as financial institution.
