1. Stripe has strict access controls—only those working on Identity/verifications can access the data. 2. Biometric data is not stored! It’s gone from our systems within 48 hours (usually in just minutes). 3.

>3. We think this’ll actually make the state of global privacy better I'm sorry but this is grade A bullshit. If your api provides access to data (extracted or raw), you are not improving anything. Quite the opposite actually, because now I not only have to trust the company that I choose to do business with but I also have to trust stripe, an american company.
