10. What about my sharing of data while going through KYC verification?

Ownify works in partnership with Uqudo.

Uqudo has developed a unique way to store collected IDs in an ID digital wallet. The wallet manages data stored on the phone and complies with GDPR and strict data privacy laws. It enables the user to take control of their data and share it with consent. The wallet will enable the ease of integration with other organizations that either store, process or transmit the identity. The platform has capitalized on the blockchain data and this feature can be enabled to provide an extra layer of security and enable more rich use cases around data sharing and consent. The ID wallet is integrated with permissioned and public ledgers. No data is stored in the blockchain and the solution is compatible with the data privacy and GDPR. Uqudo platform only stores hashes and public keys on the blockchain. It ensures compliance with data privacy regulations while protecting the integrity of the shared data. The uqudo platform is blockchain agnostic and works with both private and public blockchain.‍

Ps : The above pertains to Uqudo sharing of information, and cannot be held against Ownify which remains a separate entity using the services of Uqudo.
