Terms of Service

These Terms of Service govern the use of the PRVEN platform, including the PRVEN website and verification application.

By accessing or using the PRVEN platform, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with these terms, you must not use the PRVEN service.

PRVEN Terms of Service
Effective Date: 25 February 2026

For the purposes of these Terms:

 

  • “PRVEN”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to the PRVEN platform and its operator(s)
  • “you” and “your” refer to any individual or organisation using the PRVEN platform
  • “platform” refers to all PRVEN services, including the website, verification application, and verification registry
 

  1. Introduction & Operator Information

PRVEN provides individuals and organisations with a transparent way to demonstrate that a biometric identity verification event has occurred within a secure verification system.

PRVEN operates a digital identity verification registry that records user-initiated biometric verification events and generates timestamped verification records.

The PRVEN platform includes:

https://prven.org — marketing and information website
https://identity.prven.org — verification application and registry

Together, these form the PRVEN platform.

PRVEN is operated by a sole trader based in England and Wales.

These Terms apply to all use of the PRVEN platform, including any verification records generated.

By accessing or using PRVEN, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the service.


  1. Nature of the Service & Verification Scope

PRVEN provides a transparent system for recording biometric verification events and allowing those events to be referenced through verification records.

PRVEN operates as a digital identity and likeness verification registry.

A verification record confirms that a biometric verification event occurred within the PRVEN system at a specific point in time.

Verification reflects only the outcome of an automated comparison between a live capture and a reference image.

What Verification Confirms

A successful verification confirms that:

• a biometric liveness check was performed
• a similarity comparison was completed
• the event occurred at a specific time

What Verification Does Not Confirm

PRVEN verification does not:

• confirm government-issued identity
• confirm legal identity status
• guarantee ongoing identity authenticity
• prevent impersonation or fraud
• prevent misuse of identity or likeness
• guarantee lawful behaviour

Verification represents only the outcome at the time it occurred.

PRVEN does not guarantee that the same individual will be associated with a record in future interactions.

Any reliance on a verification record is entirely at your own risk.

PRVEN is not:

• a government authority
• a certification body
• a notary or regulator
• a legal identity provider
• a fraud prevention system
• a background check provider
• a continuous authentication system

Responsible Use of Verification Records

Users are responsible for how verification records are used or presented.

Users must not:

• present verification as legal identity proof
• claim endorsement or certification by PRVEN
• misrepresent the meaning of a verification record
• use verification in a misleading or deceptive way

Verification records provide transparency, not authority.

PRVEN encourages responsible use to support trust while maintaining accuracy.

PRVEN aims to provide a clear and understandable system that helps individuals demonstrate authenticity in a complex digital environment.

While verification has defined limitations, it provides a useful reference point when used appropriately.

PRVEN does not guarantee that the person associated with a verification record will remain the same individual in any future interaction or context.

Verification applies only to the specific verification event at the time it occurred and does not represent continuous identity validation.

Users and third parties must not assume that a verification record reflects ongoing identity authenticity beyond the recorded event.

PRVEN does not guarantee that any verification attempt will result in a successful outcome.

Visibility options may include:

• Unlisted — accessible via link
• Private — visible only to the user

Users are responsible for selecting appropriate visibility.

Reference images are not stored long-term.

After verification:

• a cryptographic hash may be stored

Biometric processing may use secure third-party systems.
