| Emphasis mine. > They may need or wish to perform additional checks on their side. Etc. So they get all the data in the off chance that a Stripe customer might want to do something with the data aside from the basic “yeah our large global identity verification service says this person is legit.” I’m not super clear what a company might ”wish to” do with that data that isn’t served by the basic “this person is who they say they are” function (Does Stripe need their clients to act as guinea pigs to see if the service actually works as intended? If their mysterious black box “wishes” turn up a case where this isn’t working as intended, are your customers required to share that data with you to ensure the overall reliability of the Stripe Identity service? Or do they just get to build a database of info they get from Stripe Identity?) > While many of the businesses initially building on Identity wanted access to the raw information, it may well make sense for us to enable them to restrict themselves in the future. Oh nevermind, asked and answered! Just turn on the data hose to whoever has a website and will pay Stripe for identity data and maybe adjust it later if you catch some flack for this practice? It’s kinda hilarious that the whole “people trust Stripe with their data” as part of the sales pitch as if this didn’t come across to me (a layperson) as a direct violation of that particular trust. |
