2What Personal Data We Collect

We collect only the data necessary to provide identity verification services (NDPR data minimisation principle). Here is a full breakdown:

Identity Data

  • National Identification Number (NIN) — 11-digit NIMC-issued number
  • Bank Verification Number (BVN) — 11-digit NIBSS-issued number (stored as a one-way hash)
  • Full legal name as on NIMC record
  • Date of birth and gender
  • State of origin and Local Government Area (LGA)
  • Registered phone number (for OTP verification)
  • CAC registration number (corporate entities)
  • Tax Identification Number / TIN (corporate entities)

Biometric Data

  • Liveness detection result (pass/fail) — NOT the biometric image itself
  • Device-based fingerprint verification result (pass/fail)
  • Facial comparison score (deleted immediately after processing)
  • Note: IdentityFlow does not store biometric templates. Only outcomes are retained for audit purposes.

Agency Access Data

  • List of government agencies you have authorised
  • Specific data fields authorised per agency
  • Timestamps of each consent grant and revocation
  • Agency access logs (which agencies accessed data, when, and for what stated purpose)

Device & Usage Data

  • IP address and device type (for fraud detection only)
  • Session tokens (rotated every 15 minutes)
  • Pages visited within IdentityFlow (anonymised analytics)
  • Error logs and failed verification attempt records (for system improvement)

3How We Use Your Data

1

Identity Verification

Your NIN and BVN are used to confirm your identity against NIMC and NIBSS databases. This is the core purpose of IdentityFlow.

2

Agency Data Sharing

With your explicit consent, specific identity attributes are transmitted to authorised government agencies (BPE, FIRS, PENCOM, CAC, BPP) via secure API channels.

3

Virtual NIN Generation

Your NIN is used to generate a tokenized 16-character vNIN per NIMC specification. Your permanent NIN is never exposed to third parties through this mechanism.

4

Fraud Prevention & Security

Anonymised device signals and usage patterns are analysed to detect and prevent identity fraud, account takeover, and system abuse.

5

Audit Trail

A tamper-evident log of all data access events is maintained as required by the NIMC Act 2007 and NDPR transparency principles. You can view this log in your Privacy Dashboard.

6

Service Improvement

Anonymised, aggregated analytics help us improve the Platform. No personal data is used for this purpose.
