How is iris data protected, and what happens when a User chooses PIN?

Both association methods are available to every User in every deployment, and each User chooses directly on the Device at the first assessment.

Where a User selects iris recognition, Iris Identification Data is created as an encrypted, proprietary code or template. It is used solely to associate that User’s measurements with their previously enrolled record on a one-to-one basis within the Customer’s logically separated environment. It is processed separately from Measurement Data, individual baselines, and results, contains no measurement, baseline, or readiness information, and has no intended function outside OPTOVERA.

Where a User selects PIN, the iris is not enrolled, no iris identification template is created or stored, no iris comparison is performed, and no Iris Identification Data is created in any form.

Eye Video is captured in both methods, because the pupillary response is measured from it. It may visually contain the iris, but its capture does not create Iris Identification Data, and outside the optional iris recognition function Eye Video is not processed to identify the User.

When a User switches from iris recognition to PIN, the Service automatically deletes that User’s Iris Identification Data from active systems. Residual copies may remain temporarily in protected backups until overwritten or deleted through established cycles; they are not available for ordinary use and remain subject to the Data Processing Agreement.

The dashboard reports the association method in use for each User to the Administrator, Agent, and Read-Only roles, but not a per-assessment record of the method. Customers are advised not to use a User’s association method as a criterion in any assessment of that worker.
