Frequently Asked Questions
Do I see the other person's ID or personal information?
Absolutely not. To protect everyone's privacy, you will only see a "Verified" status. Their private documents are never shared with you.
Is this a criminal background check?
No. Know Your Pal is strictly an identity verification service. It confirms a person's government ID is authentic and that the person presenting it is real, but it does not search criminal records.
What does the other person receive?
They receive a professional and clear request via the link you send, explaining what is being asked and why. It reassures them that their data is being handled securely by ProntoID.
Is my data safe with ProntoID?
Yes. Protecting user data is our most important job. We use industry-leading security protocols to keep all information safe.
