Use of Proper ID with Partner Platforms
Proper User UAB provides independent digital identity verification services through the
Proper User platform and Proper ID mobile application. Proper is not a financial institution,
government authority, or regulated compliance body, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
Upon successful completion of the full verification process within the Proper ID mobile
application, a Proper ID Number is issued and linked to the user’s Proper User account.
Where a user elects to authenticate or access a third-party platform that has integrated
with Proper (“Partner Platform”):
- Proper may transmit verification status data only (e.g., verified identity confirmation, age verification status, country-level location confirmation, or business verification status).
- Proper does not transmit raw identity documents, biometric recordings, facial templates, uploaded files, or underlying verification materials to Partner Platforms.
- Transmission of verification status occurs solely upon the user’s explicit action, request, or authorization.
- Proper maintains audit logs of verification authorizations and authentication events.
Partner Platforms operate independently and are solely responsible for:
- Their own regulatory compliance
- Their own KYC / AML obligations
- Their own security standards
- Their own acceptance criteria for users
Proper does not guarantee that a Partner Platform will accept, rely upon, or honor a
Proper ID verification result.
Partner Platforms may, at their sole discretion:
- Require additional documentation
- Conduct independent verification
- Deny access for any reason
Proper User UAB shall not be liable for:
- Decisions made by Partner Platforms
- Suspension or termination of user accounts on Partner Platforms
- Regulatory determinations made by third parties
- Financial losses resulting from denial of access
- Any indirect, consequential, or reputational damages related to Partner Platform use
By using Proper ID to authenticate with a Partner Platform, you acknowledge and agree that
Proper’s role is limited to providing verification status data and that all further decisions
are made independently by the Partner Platform.
